• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
CIRCULAR SAW
Cutting procedures
Keep hands away from cutting area
DANGER
and the blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
• Never hold workpiece being cut in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cut-
ting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Further safety instructions for all saws
Kickback causes and related warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to
lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into
the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb
out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your arms to resist kickback forces. Posi-
tion your body to either side of the blade, but not
in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw
to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be con-
trolled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
saw from the work or pull the saw backward while
the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. In-
vestigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding,
it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near
the edge of the panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
• Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls
or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut
objects that can cause kickback.
Lower guard function
• Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the lower guard into the open position. If
saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle
and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
• Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
• Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
To reduce the risk of injury in ap-
WARNING
plications that produce a consider-
able amount of dust, use an OSHA compliant dust
extraction solution in accordance with the solu-
tion's operating instructions.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
