Maintaining Tool
Adjusting the Mitre Saw
The mitre saw is fully adjusted at the factory. If it is not
accurate due to shipping and handling, please follow
these steps to accurately set up your saw. Once the
saw is properly adjusted, it should remain accurate
under normal jobsite and transportation conditions.
Squaring the Blade (90°) to the Fence (0° Mitre)
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Place a square against the fence and blade and
ensure that the square is not touching blade teeth
as this will cause an inaccurate measurement.
3. Loosen the mitre lock lever and move the saw to
the 0° mitre position. Do not tighten the lock lever.
4. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to
the fence, use the supplied wrench to loosen the
screws that hold the mitre scale to the table. Move
the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular
to the fence. Use the square to verify that the blade
is perpendicular to the fence. Retighten the screws.
5. Loosen the mitre pointer adjustment screw and
reposition the pointer the so that it indicates ex-
actly zero. Once the pointer is properly positioned,
retighten the mitre pointer adjustment screw.
The advantage of cutting crown molding flat on the
table is that it is easier to secure the molding at the
correct cutting position. Also larger pieces of crown
molding may be cut lying flat on the mitre saw table.
Always use a crown stop when cutting crown
molding angled against the fence. When cutting
crown molding angled against the fence does not
require bevel settings. Small changes in the mitre
angle can be made without affecting the bevel
angle. When using this method the saw can be
quickly and easily adjusted for corners that are not
90° (square).
Standard crown molding with 52° and 38° angles
(set bevel angle to 33.85°)
Standard crown molding with 45° angles (set
bevel angle to 0°)
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, or any other condition that may affect the
tool operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and
charger to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for
repair. After six months to one year, depending on
use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the
contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does
not work properly, return the tool, charger and
battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for
repairs.
