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.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in
these instructions for use.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Please do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
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 V-Tec chargers for charging System V-Tec
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.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This electronic circular saw can cut lengthways and mitre
accurately in wood, plastic, and aluminium.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake engages when the trigger is released, causing
the blade to stop and allowing you to proceed with your work.
Generally, the saw blade stops within two seconds. However, there
may be a delay between the time you release the trigger and when
the brake engages. Occasionally the brake may miss completely. If
the brake misses frequently, the saw needs servicing by an
authorized Milwaukee service facility.
You must always wait for the blade to stop completely before
removing the saw from the workpiece.

BATTERIES
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 used.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit
situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for
about 2 seconds and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperatur of the
battery could become to high. If this happens, the battery will shut
down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being
overloaded and helps to ensure long life.
Under extreme stress the battery electronics switch off the
machine automatically. To restart, switch the machine off and then
on again. If the machine does not start up again, the battery pack
may have discharged completely. In this case it must be recharged
in the battery charger.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare parts.
Should components need to be replaced which have not been
described, please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents
(see our list of guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please
state the Article No. as well as the machine type printed on the
label and order the drawing at your local service agents or directly

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 tool may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a “live“ wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live“ and shock the operator.
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 making a “plunge cut” 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 may 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
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.
