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, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. 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 electri-
cal operation
MAINTENANCE
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble 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.

resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece
as shown.

trigger. Using the edge of the shoe as a pivot,
lower the blade into the workpiece as shown.
3. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly until the shoe rests fi rmly on the
workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cut-
ting line to acquire the desired cut.
