Adjusting the Fences
1. Loosen the fence lock knobs.
2. The fences can slide side-to-side to the desired
position to allow for a bevel or compound miter cut.
3. Always position the fences properly for maximum
work support.
4. Tighten the fence lock knobs securely before mak-
ing a cut.
NOTE: If either fence has any movement forward
to backward, tighten the fence set screw, located
on the back of each fence slot.
Use the on/off switch to turn on the turntable lights
before making a cut. Turn off the lights when cutting
is complete.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
WARNING
rely on the brake as a safety fea-
ture. Always wait until the blade stops com-
pletely before allowing anything near the blade.
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure all adjust-
ments are securely locked before making a cut.
Starting and Stopping the Tool
Always hold the trigger handle firmly because the
starting and stopping action of the motor may cause
the handle to move up or down slightly. WARNING!
Always press down miter lock lever and tighten all
adjustments prior to use. WARNING! Ensure hands
are out of the No Hands Zone.
1. To start the motor, push down the trigger lock and
pull the trigger.
2.To stop the motor, release the trigger. The elec-
tric brake will stop the blade in about 4 seconds.
WARNING! The brake is not a substitute for the
guards and could fail; always wait for the blade to
stop completely before removing the blade from
the workpiece. If the brake fails to stop the blade or
misses frequently, return the tool to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for repair.
Making a Chop Cut
The sliding mechanism can be locked to use the
saw for chop cuts (cuts not requiring the use of the
slide mechanism). Cut workpieces with chop cuts
whenever possible. A chop cut is always faster and
easier to make than a sliding cut.
