Adjusting the Fences
Every time the bevel or mitre angle settings are changed,
make sure the fences are set correctly.
Fences MUST:
• Support the workpiece
• Not interfere with the blade or lower guard
• Be adjusted to keep hands out of the No Hand Zone
To adjust the Fences
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Loosen the fence lock thumb screw.
3. Slide the fences side-to-side to the desired posi-
tion to allow for a bevel or compound miter cut.
Position the fences properly for maximum work
support while maintaining hand safety. WARNING!
Ensure fence hand holds are positioned to keep
hands out of the No Hand Zone.
4. Tighten the fence lock thumb screws securely
before making a cut.
NOTE: If either fence has any movement forward
to backward, tighten the fence lock thumb screw,
located on the back of each fence slot.
5. With the saw OFF and the workpiece removed
from the table, slowly lower the saw head com-
pletely to ensure the guard and blade do not con-
tact the fences when making miter and bevel cuts.
The lower guard should cover the blade when the
saw head is up and it should move freely and open
automatically as the saw head is lowered into the
workpiece. WARNING! Never disable or remove
guards. Only push the lower guard into the OPEN
position when changing blades.
If the lower guard appears loose, sticks, or does not
cover the blade when the saw head is up, take the saw
to an authorized service center for repairs.
Ensure the Fences are adjusted properly to allow for
free-movement of the guards during the complete
movement of the cut.
Setting for Chop Cuts
The slides can be locked and the saw head set in
the proper position to use the saw for chop cuts (cuts
not requiring the use of the slides).
1. To lock, pull the head forward and tighten the
slide rail lock.
2. To unlock, pull the head forward and loosen the
slide rail lock.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Keep hands and body out of the path of the saw
blade. Contact with blade will result in serious
injury. Check guarding system to make sure it is
functioning correctly. Do not operate saw without
guards in place. Do not perform any operation
freehand. Never reach around saw blade. Turn
off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings. Tighten
all adjustments prior to use.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Guards
Cut Line Indicator
The cut-line indicator shines down the blade, casting
a shadow where the blade will meet the workpiece.
No calibration/adjustments will be needed as the
shadow will always be true to the blade location.
Use the cut-line indicator switch to turn on the light
before making a cut. The light will go off automatically
about 9 seconds after use.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
WARNING
rely on the brake as a safety fea-
ture. Always wait until the blade stops com-
pletely before allowing anything near the blade.
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure all adjust-
ments are securely locked before making a cut.
Starting and Stopping the Tool
Always hold the trigger handle firmly because the
starting and stopping action of the motor may cause
the handle to move up or down slightly. WARNING!
Always press down miter lock lever and tighten all
adjustments prior to use. WARNING! Ensure hands
are out of the No Hands Zone.
1. To start the motor, push down the trigger lock and
pull the trigger.
2. To stop the motor, release the trigger. The elec-
tric brake will stop the blade in about 4 seconds.
WARNING! The brake is not a substitute for the
guards and could fail; always wait for the blade to
stop completely before removing the blade from
the workpiece. If the brake fails to stop the blade or
misses frequently, return the tool to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for repair.
Making a Chop Cut
Cut workpieces with chop cuts whenever possible.
Only use sliding cuts (cross cuts) when necessary.
1. Select the desired angles and adjust the fences to
ensure fence hand holds are positioned to keep
hands out of the No Hand Zone.
2. Place the workpiece on the turntable and line up
the cut.
3. Insert battery pack.
4. Support the workpiece using any of the methods
described in "Support the Workpiece Properly".
5. WARNING! Keep hands out of the No Hands
Zone at all times during use. Contact with blade
will result in serious injury.
6. Start the motor. Wait a few seconds for the blade
to reach full speed. Then gently lower the saw
head into the workpiece all the way through the
cut. WARNING! Do not allow the blade to contact
the workpiece while tool is ramping up.
7. Always allow the saw to do the work. Forcing the
tool may stall or overheat the motor.
8. After the cut is complete, release the trigger and
wait for the blade to stop completely. Raise the
saw head and remove the workpiece. WARNING!
If small cut-off pieces get caught in the guard area,
remove battery pack before clearing.
