WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and
may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with
different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the
hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions,
including those given in the accompanying brochure. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger: Keep hands away from cutting area 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 piece being cut in your hands or across your leg.
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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a „live" wire
may 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 eccentrically, 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.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- 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 bound 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. Position 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
controlled 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. Investigate 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 and check 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.
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.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by
burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to
protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit
risk).
Use only System C 18 chargers for charging System C 18 battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do
not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in
these instructions for use.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Please do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
If the transparent saw blade cover is cracked or broken, it must be
replaced immediately by an authorised specialist workshop. The
machine must not be operated if the saw blade cover is defective or
missing!

BATTERIES
Please take note of the specific information relating to Milwaukee
18V rechargeable batteries in the instruction manual for the charger.
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5 chargings
and dischargings. Battery packs which have not been used for some
time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
ADVICE FOR OPERATION
The machine switches off automatically if the motor is overloaded.
Allow it to cool, press the overload button and restart the machine. If
the overload protection switches off frequently, reduce the cutting
pressure or depth of cut.
