WARNING
To reduce the risk of explo-
sion, electric shock and property damage,
always check the work area for hidden gas
pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when
making blind or plunge cuts.
Plunge Cutting
Plunge cuts can be made into soft materials without
a pre-drilled hole. Harder materials require a starter
hole with a diameter slightly over the width of the
blade. To make a plunge cut:
1. Move the shoe all the
way back.
2. Set the orbital action
selector lever to 0.
3. Keep the power cord out
of the cutting area.
4. Make sure nothing be-
low the intended cut
area will be damaged.
5. Without turning the tool
on, place the front edge
of the shoe solidly on
workpiece.
6. Align the blade with the in-
tended cut line, but keep
i t
above the workpiece.
7. U s i n g t h e f r o n t
edge of the shoe as
a
pivot, turn on the tool
and gradually lower the
blade into the work-
piece.
8. When the shoe is flat
against the workpiece,
normal cutting may take
place.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always 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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the tool.
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 dam-
age. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding
of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts
and any other condition that may affect its safe oper-
ation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the
tool off immediately 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 neces-
sary 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
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 cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
