Extension Cords - Milwaukee 6391 Manuel De L'utilisateur

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire
extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension
cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table
shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than
one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffi x "W-A" ("W" in Canada)
to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching or remov-
ing accessories or making adjustments. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
WARNING
Only use accessories with
maximum speed rating at least as high as
nameplate RPM of tool.
Selecting Blade
Select a blade appropriate for your application.
Refer to the "Accessories" section for a list of blades
to be used for the proper applications of this tool.
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to
overload the tool and increase the chance of KICK-
BACK. Only use thin kerf blades with a maximum
safe operating speed greater than the no load RPM
marked on the tool's nameplate. Read the blade
manufacturer's instructions before use. Do not use
any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or dry diamond
cutting blades. Use the correct blade type for your
application. Using the wrong blade may result in
reduced performance or damage to the blade. Do
not use blades that are cracked or have broken
teeth. Do not sharpen ferrous metal cutting blades;
see the blade manufacturer's recommendations
regarding sharpening.
and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualifi ed person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

ASSEMBLY
Fig. 1
Rip & Crosscut
A multi-purpose blade for ripping, cross cut-
ting and mitering in hardwoods, softwoods,
plywood and composition materials.
Framing-Rip
Designed for fast and accurate ripping along
the grain in hard-or softwoods where a smooth
cross cut is not necessary.
Plywood-Veneer
Recommended for cutting plywood, composi-
tion materials and all types of wood where a
slightly smoother fi nish is needed.
Finish & Trim
Especially designed for cross cutting and
mitering in materials where a very smooth cut
is necessary. Also cuts aluminum.
Checking the Operation of the Lower Guard
Check the operation and condition of the lower
guard lever. If the guard and the lever are not op-
erating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
1. Unplug tool before checking the lower guard.
2. Place the tool on its side.
NOTE: This procedure will not show proper lower
guard operation if the tool is not on its side.
3. Grasp the lower guard by the sides and push it
all the way back into the blade housing.
4. Release the lower guard.
• If the guard immediately springs back into
place, it is working correctly and you may
continue with use.
• If the guard does not immediate spring back
into place, clean the upper and lower guards
to remove all chips and debris. Then, check
the operation again by starting with step 1.
• If the guard still does not immediately spring
back into place, contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for repairs.

Installing and Removing Blades
1. Unplug tool before installing or removing blades.
2. Place the saw on a fl at surface with the blade
facing upwards. To remove the bolt from the
spindle, push in the spindle lock button. While
holding the spindle lock button in, use the wrench
provided with the tool to turn the bolt clockwise
(Fig. 2). Remove the bolt and outer blade fl ange.
Do not remove inner blade fl ange.

3. Slide the lower guard lever up to raise the lower
guard. Remove the blade from the spindle. Al-
ways clean the spindle, upper guard and lower
guard to remove any dirt and sawdust.
4. To install a blade,
place the blade on the
spindle with the teeth
pointing in the same
direction as the arrow
on the lower guard
(Fig. 3). Larger diam-
eter of inner flange
(Fig. 4) should rest
on blade. Release the
lower guard lever.

5. Place the outer blade fl ange on the spindle and
hand tighten the bolt. Larger diameter of outer
fl ange (Fig. 4 ) should rest on blade.
6. While holding the spindle lock button in, use the
wrench to turn the bolt counterclockwise and tighten.
Adjusting Depth
1. Unplug tool.
2. To adjust the depth of the cut, hold the saw by the
Tilt-Lok™ handle and loosen the depth adjusting
lever by lifting it up and away from the shoe (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5
3. Raise or lower the shoe to the desired position.
Markings in 1/4" increments are located on the
inner side of the upper guard for depth setting.
For the proper depth setting, the blade should
extend no more than 1/4" below the material
being cut (Fig. 6).
Fig. 3
4. Move the depth adjusting lever towards the shoe
and push down to secure the position.
