Ripping Wood (Fig. 11 & 12)
Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain.
Select the proper blade for your job. Use a
rip fence for rips 4" wide or less (Fig. 11).
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.
Fig. 11
When ripping widths greater than 4", clamp
or tack 1" lumber to the workpiece as a
guide (Fig. 12).

Cross-Cutting Wood (Fig. 13)
Cross-cutting is cutting across the grain.
Select the proper blade for your job. Ad-
vance saw slowly to avoid the tendency
of wood fibers to tear and lift.

Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the
workpiece when it can not be cut from an
edge. We recommend using a Sawzall
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, firmly fixing 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. Using front of shoe as a
hinge point, gradually lower back end
of saw into workpiece (Fig. 14).

3. When shoe rests flat against work-
piece (Fig. 15), move saw to far cor-
ner. Release trigger and allow blade to
come to a complete stop before remov-
ing it from workpiece. Repeat the above
steps for each side of the opening. Use
®
a Sawzall , jig saw, or small hand saw
to finish corners if they are not com-
pletely cut through.

Cutting Masonry and Metal (Fig. 16 & 17)
® for
Dust, chips, and grit can cause
guard to hang up at any time. If
saw is used with an abrasive cut-
ting wheel, 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.
Although MILWAUKEE worm drive saws
are primarily designed and intended for
cutting wood, they may also be used with
abrasive cutting wheels for cutting metal
or masonry.
Only use abrasive cutting wheels
with maximum speed rating at
least as high as nameplate RPM
of tool.
When cutting masonry, use a silicone car-
bide abrasive cutting wheel. Make succes-
sive 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.
Frequently clean dust from air vents and
guards.

When cutting metal, use an aluminum oxide
abrasive cutting wheel and set depth of
cut to full depth. Protect everyone in the
WARNING!
area from sparks.
