• Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
• Lower guard should be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting
handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the
lower guard must be released. For all other sawing,
the lower guard should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
• Do not touch material immediately after it has
been cut. Use caution; cut material may be hot
and sharp.
• Do not use cutting oil. The use of cutting oil may
cause a fire.
• Do not use tool near flammable material. Sparks
may cause fire.
• Do not start the blade when in contact with
workpiece. Wait for blade to reach full speed before
beginning cut.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, when
WARNING
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use an
OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a replacement.

Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
