WARNING
recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Selecting Blade
Always:
• Use the correct blade type for your application.
Using the wrong blade may result in reduced per-
formance or damage to the blade.
• Use sharp, thin kerf blades with a maximum safe op-
erating speed greater than the no load RPM marked
on the tool's nameplate. Dull blades tend to overload
the tool and increase the chance of KICKBACK.
• Use the appropriate size blade and arbor found in
the specifications chart.
Never:
• Use blades that are cracked or have broken teeth.
• Use any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or dry dia-
mond cutting blades.
• Sharpen ferrous metal cutting blades.
Read the blade manufacturer's instructions before
use. Refer to the blade manufacturer's recommenda-
tions regarding sharpening of the blade.
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 operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
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 immediately 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.
