Troubleshooting
If blade does not want to follow straight line:
•Teeth are dull on one side. This is caused by hit-
ting a hard object such as a nail or stone, dulling
teeth on one side. The blade wants to cut to the
side with the sharpest teeth.
• Shoe is out of line or bent
• Blade is bent
• Failure to use rip fence or guide
If blade binds, smokes, or turns blue from friction:
• Blade is dull
• Blade is on backwards
• Blade is bent
• Blade is dirty
• Workpiece is not properly supported
• Failure to use correct blade
APPLICATIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before making plunge cuts.
Cutting Large Panels
Large panels and long boards sag or bend if they
are not correctly supported. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting the piece,
the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
Support large panels. Be sure to set the depth of
cut so that you cut through workpiece only and not
through the supports.

Ripping Wood
Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain. Select
the proper blade for your job. Use a rip fence for
rips 4" wide or less. To install a rip fence, slide
the bar through the rip fence slot in either side of
the shoe. Adjust for desired width by lining up the
selected measurement with the sighting notch and
lock setting with thumb screw.
When ripping widths greater than 4", clamp or tack
1" lumber to the workpiece as a guide.

Cross-Cutting Wood
Cross-cutting is cutting across the grain. Select the
proper blade for your job. Advance saw slowly to
avoid the tendency of wood fi bers to tear and lift.
Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the work-
piece when it can not be cut from an edge. We
recommend using a Sawzall for this type of cut.
®
However, if you must use a circular saw to make a
pocket cut, USE EXTREME CAUTION.
1. Beginning at a corner, line up sighting notch with
your cutting line. Tilt saw forward, fi rmly fi xing
front of shoe on workpiece. Blade should be
just above cutting line, but not touching it. Raise
lower guard using lower guard lever.
2. Pull trigger. Allow the blade to come to full speed.
Using front of shoe as a hinge point, gradually
lower back end of saw into workpiece (Fig. 11).
Fig. 11
3. When shoe rests fl at against workpiece (Fig. 12),
move saw to far corner. Release trigger and
allow blade to come to a complete stop before
removing it from workpiece. Repeat the above
steps for each side of the opening. Use a Saw-
zall , jig saw, or small hand saw to fi nish corners
®
if they are not completely cut through.

WARNING
Dust, chips, and grit can
cause guard to hang up at any time. If saw
is used to cut masonry or metal, reserve and
mark it for that purpose only and return it to
a MILWAUKEE service facility for cleaning
and testing before using it for wood cutting.
Cutting Masonry and Metal
MILWAUKEE circular saws are not intended for
continuous use in cutting metal or masonry. When
cutting these materials, use the correct blade. MIL-
WAUKEE does not recommend using bonded abra-
sive wheels on circular saws for any application.
WARNING
Only use accessories with
maximum speed rating at least as high as
nameplate RPM of tool.
When cutting masonry, use a diamond blade. Make
successive passes at depths of less than 1/4" to
achieve the desired depth. Cutting at a depth of
more than 1/4" will damage wheel. Unplug the tool
and frequently clean dust from air vents and guards.
WARNING
Do not use tool for cutting
metal near fl ammable material. Sparks may
cause fi re.
When cutting metal, use a metal cutting blade. Set
depth of cut to full depth. Protect everyone in the
area from sparks.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the tool before attaching or
removing accessories. Use only specifi cally
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
For a complete listing of accessories refer to your
MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog or go on-line
to www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog,
contact your local distributor or a service center.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool or try to do any rewiring
on the tool's electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the gen-
eral condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches,
tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check
for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving
parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any
other condition that may affect its safe operation. If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off
immediately and have the problem corrected before
further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged
tools "DO NOT USE" until repaired (see "Repairs").
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
