MILWAUKEE’S exclusive Positive-Lok
®
Cords provide instant field re-
placement or substitution. The Positive-Lok
®
feature secures the cord
firmly to the tool.
Adjusting Depth (Figs. 4 & 5)
1. Unplug tool.
2. To adjust the depth of the cut, hold the saw by the Tilt-Lok™ handle
and loosen the depth adjusting lever by lifting it up and away from the
shoe (Fig. 4).
TOOL ASSEMBLY
3. Raise or lower the shoe to the desired position. Markings in 1/4"
increments are located on the inner side of the upper guard for depth
setting. For the proper depth setting, the blade should extend no more
than 1/4" below the material being cut (Fig. 5).
5. Place the blade flange on the spindle and hand tighten the bolt.
6. While holding the spindle lock button in, use the wrench to turn the bolt
clockwise and tighten.
1. To remove the Positive-Lok
®
Cord, push the cord release button in the
direction shown and turn the cord nut 1/4 turn to the left. Pull the
cord out.
2. To replace the Positive-Lok
®
Cord, align the connector keyways and
push the connector in as far as it will go. Turn the cord nut 1/4 turn to
the right to lock. The cord release button will click back into place.
Selecting Blade
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and
increase the chance of KICKBACK (see page 8). Only use blades with a
maximum safe operating speed greater than the no load RPM marked on
the tool's nameplate. Read the blade manufacturer's instructions before
use.
Installing and Removing Blades (Figs. 2 & 3)
1. Unplug tool before installing or removing blades.
2. Place the saw on a flat surface with the blade facing upwards. To
remove the bolt from the spindle, push in the spindle lock button. While
holding the spindle lock button in, use the wrench provided with the
tool to turn the bolt counterclockwise (Fig. 2). Remove the bolt and
blade flange.
3. Slide the lower guard lever up to raise the lower guard. Remove the
blade from the spindle. Always clean the spindle, upper guard and
lower guard to remove any dirt and sawdust.
