WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with diff event accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of
vibration and/or noise such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories,
keeping the hands warm, and organization of work patterns.
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifi
cations provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fi re, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
**** CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
Danger: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on the auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from
the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
Never hold a piece being cut in your hands or across your leg.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, only when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a „live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool „live“ and could give the operator an electric shock.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. Always use
blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing a loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers
and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings:
– kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, 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 bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the
blade stalls, and the motor reaction 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 wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a fi 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 backward,
but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken.
When the blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work
or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf
and check those saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade
is binding, it may walk up or kick back from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the panel on both sides, near the line of cut, and near the edge of the panel.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure
before making cuts. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower guard function
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the
saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the
retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade
or any other part, at all angles and depths of the cut.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring
are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-
up of debris.
The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as
“plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise the lower guard by retracting the
handle and as soon as the 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
the saw down on a bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backward, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is
released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the
machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as a dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet, and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale
the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a suitable dust protection
mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in these
instructions for use.
It is necessary to select a saw blade that is suitable for the material being
cut.
Use only woodworking blades specifi ed in this manual, which comply with EN
847-1.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fl y apart.
Do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
Do not fi x the on/off switch in the „on“ position when using the saw hand-held.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning
them. Milwaukee Distributors off er to retrieve old batteries to protect our
environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit
risk).
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery packs. Do not use
battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep
dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme
temperatures. In case of contact with the battery, acid washes it off
immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for
at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage
due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack, or charger in
fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, bleach or bleach-containing
products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This electronic circular saw can cut lengthways and miter accurately in wood.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake engages when the trigger is released, 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 miss frequently, the saw needs servicing by an
authorized Milwaukee service facility.
You must always wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the saw
from the workpiece.
