• 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

2. To adjust the depth of the cut, hold the saw by
the handle and loosen the depth adjusting lever
by pulling it up.
3. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center

are not engaged into the material. If saw blade
is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.

Transparent Front Guard
The transparent front guard allows easy viewing of
the cutting line. If the transparent guard is cracked
or broken, return it to a MILWAUKEE service facility

remove the transparent front
guard. If the transparent front guard is damaged
or missing, return tool to authorized service sta-

OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
To reduce the risk of injury, everyone in the work
area should wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields. Remove battery pack from
the tool before changing accessories or making
adjustments.
Keep hands away from the blade and other mov-
ing parts.
Always remove battery pack before changing
or removing accessories. Only use accessories
specically recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Kickback causes and related warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw
to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reac-
tion drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the
top surface of the workpiece causing the blade to climb
out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the saw
and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade, but
not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken.
