Adjusting the Pivot Shoe
The shoe can be adjusted forward or backward to
eight positions to take advantage of the unused
portion of the blade or for special jobs requiring low
blade clearance.
1. To adjust the shoe, rotate
the shoe release lever
toward the front of the
tool and slide the shoe
forward or backward to
the desired position.
2. To lock the shoe in po-
sition, push the shoe
release lever up.
3. After adjusting the shoe, slowly pull the trigger to be
sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and
your workpiece throughout the stroke.

Ramp-up

Time*
* Ramp-up time is the amount of time it takes for the
tool to reach Max Speed. This is beneficial for cut-
ting through dense materials by allowing the blade
to bite into the material before increasing in speed,
assisting in making a smoother, more accurate cut.
To reduce the risk of personal in-

jury, always hold tool securely.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull
the trigger.
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pres-
sure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled,
the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure the
blade comes to a complete stop before removing
the blade from a partial cut or laying the tool down.
Electric Brake
The electric brake engages when the trigger is re-
leased, 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. Always wait for the blade to stop com-
pletely before removing the saw from the workpiece.
General Cutting
For straight or contour cutting from an edge, line
the blade up with your cutting line. Before the blade
contacts the workpiece, grasp the handle firmly and
pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along your cutting
line. Always hold the shoe flat against the workpiece
to avoid excessive vibration.
Cutting Metals
Begin cutting at a slow speed, gradually increasing
speed as you cut. When cutting into metals or hard
materials that can not be cut from an edge, drill a
starting hole larger than the widest part of the blade.
To reduce the risk of explosion,
WARNING
electric shock and property dam-
age, always check the work area for hidden gas
pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when mak-
ing blind or plunge cuts.
