MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, al-
ways unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance.
Never disassemble 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 general 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 af-
fect its safe operation. If abnormal noise
or vibration occurs, turn the tool off imme-
diately 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 necessary 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
Maintaining Oil Level
Check oil level before use. To check level,
set saw for maximum depth, rest it flat on
its shoe and remove oil plug. Oil level
should be below max oil level line on tool
(about 1/2 oz.). If there is excess oil in the
chamber, allow it to run out.
If oil level is low:
1.
Add oil by laying the saw on its side
and pouring oil into the chamber. DO
NOT OVER FILL.
2.
Set the saw on its shoe as described
above and allow any excess oil to run
out.
3.
When the proper oil level is reached,
replace oil plug.
Use MILWAUKEE oil made specifically for
worm drive saws. Substitute oils may
cause damage to the tool and be unsatis-
factory in various temperatures. Check oil
level frequently when using tool for ex-
tended periods. (Caution: Oil may be hot.)
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, elec-
tric shock and damage to the tool,
never immerse your tool in liquid
or allow a liquid to flow 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 clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plas-
tics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flam-
mable or combustible solvents around
tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire
tool to the nearest service center listed on
the back cover of this operator's manual.
