milwaukee SCS 65 Q Circular Saw
Instructions for use
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.
Carry out a
test cut
For safety reasons this power tool is fitted with a switch lock and the On-/Off switch cannot be locked in the “On” position.
If a correction
of the 90° angle of the guide-plate to the saw blade is necessary, use the
correction screw.
Do not operate
saw with handle lever release button pressed in or with handle not locked into
position.
If the Tilt-Lok handle moves with the handle release lever in the locked
position, do not operate saw. Return the circular saw to a MILWAUKEE service
facility for repair immediately.
Accessory
Refi t the riving knife by all means after plunge cutting before starting to work again.

WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured
in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the
tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration 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 significantly reduce the exposure level over
the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands
warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions, including those
given in the accompanying brochure. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on 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 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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a “live“ wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live“ and
shock the operator.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
Always use blades with 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 loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety
of operation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- 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 firm 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.
When 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 that saw teeth 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.
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 cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.
Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw
if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, 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, in all
angles and depths of 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. Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of
debris.
Lower guard may 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.
Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being used. For the riving
knife to work, it must be thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than
the tooth set of the blade.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect
spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in
preventing kickback.
Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. Riving knife must be
replaced after plunge cutting. Riving knife causes interference during plunge
cutting and can create kickback.
For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving
knife is ineffective in preventing kickback during short cuts.
Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a light interference can
slow the closing rate of a guard.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in these
instructions for use.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Please do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
Appliances used at many different locations including open air must be
connected via a current surge preventing switch.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended to wear gloves,
sturdy non slipping shoes and apron.
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the
machine.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always lead the cable
away behind you.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or material fatigue.
Repairs should only be carried out by authorized Service Agents.
Do not fix the on/off switch in the “on” position when using the saw hand-held.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale
the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
