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 adjusting knob.
When ripping widths greater than 4", clamp or tack
1/2" lumber to workpiece and use the edge of the
shoe as a guide.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
WARNING
check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before making plunge cuts.
Plunge Cutting
Plunge cuts are made in the middle of the workpiece
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 plunge cut, USE EXTREME CAUTION.
To maintain control of the saw during plunge cutting,
keep both hands on the saw.
1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight line with
your cutting line. Tilt the saw forward, firmly fixing
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. To start the saw, push the lock-off button down
while pulling the trigger. Allow the motor to reach
full speed before beginning cut. Using the front
of the shoe as a hinge point, gradually lower the
back end of the saw into the workpiece. Release
the lower guard lever and grasp the front handle.
3. When the shoe rests flat against workpiece, ad-
vance the saw to the far corner. Release the trigger
and allow the blade to come to a complete stop
before removing 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 finish the corners if they are not completely
cut through.
Overloading
Continuous overloading may cause permanent dam-
age to tool or battery pack.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the battery pack, charger, or tool, except as pro-
vided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for all other repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep the tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect the tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
