Cutting Large Panels
Large panels and long boards sag or bend if they
are not correctly supported. If you attempt to
cut without leveling and properly supporting the
workpiece, the blade will tend to bind, causing
KICKBACK.
Support large panels. Be sure to set the depth of
the cut so that you only cut through the workpiece,
not through the supports.

Ripping Wood
Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain. Select
the proper blade for your job. Use a rip fence for rips
4" wide or less. To install the rip fence, slide the bar
through the rip fence slot in either side of the shoe.
The width of the cut is the distance from the inside
of the blade to the inside edge of the rip fence.
Adjust the rip fence for the desired width, and lock
the setting by tightening the rip fence screws.
When ripping widths greater than 4", clamp or tack
1" lumber to workpiece and use the inside edge of
the shoe as a guide.
Cross-Cutting Wood
Cross-cutting is cutting across the grain. Select the
proper blade for your job. Advance the saw slowly
to avoid splintering the wood.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before making pocket cuts.
Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the work-
piece when it can not be cut from an edge. We
recommend using a Sawzall ® reciprocating saw
or jig saw for this type of cut. However, if you must
use a circular saw to make a pocket cut, USE
EXTREME CAUTION. To maintain control of the
saw during pocket cutting, keep both hands on
the saw (Fig. 18).
Fig. 18
1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight line with
your cutting line. Tilt the saw forward, fi rmly fi x-
ing the front of the shoe on the workpiece. The
blade should be just above cutting line, but not
touching it. Raise the lower guard using the lower
guard lever.
2. Pull the trigger, allowing the blade to come up
to full speed. Using the front of the shoe as a
hinge point, gradually lower the back end of the
saw into the workpiece.
3. When the shoe rests fl at against workpiece, re-
lease the lower guard lever. Advance the saw to
the far corner. Release the trigger and allow the
blade to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing it from workpiece. Repeat the above steps
for each side of the opening. Use a Sawzall
reciprocating saw, jig saw or small hand saw to
fi nish the corners if they are not completely cut
through.

Cutting Masonry and Metal
MILWAUKEE circular saws are not intended
for continuous use in cutting metal or masonry.
When cutting these materials, use the correct
blade. MILWAUKEE does not recommend using
bonded abrasive wheels on circular saws for any
application.
WARNING
Dust, chips, and grit can
cause guard to hang up at any time. If saw
is used to cut masonry or metal, reserve and
mark it for that purpose only and return it to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for cleaning and
testing before using it for wood cutting.
WARNING
Only use accessories with
maximum speed rating at least as high as
nameplate RPM of tool.
When cutting masonry, use a diamond blade. Make
successive passes at depths of less than 1/4" to
achieve the desired depth. Cutting at a depth of
more than 1/4" will damage wheel. Unplug the
tool and frequently clean dust from air vents and
guards.
WARNING
Do not use tool for cutting
metal near fl ammable material. Sparks may
cause fi re.
When cutting metal, use a metal cutting blade. Set
depth of cut to full depth. Protect everyone in the
area from sparks.

MAINTENANCE
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.
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
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.
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
