FEATURES
Miter system
The Milwaukee 6955-20 Miter Saw uses a heavy
duty steel plate with detents (stops). This steel plate
is extremely durable and provides for repeatable
accuracy at each detent. The miter angle can be set
using detents for commonly cut angles at 0°, 15°,
22.5° 31.62°, 45° Right and Left and 60° Right. The
6955-20 has a miter range from 55° on the left to
60° on the right. An industrial grade bearing allows
the turntable to be quickly and accurately adjusted
to any angle across the miter range.
Miter Angle Fine Adjust
In certain fi nish carpentry applications like casing a
window or door, it is necessary to compensate for
a non-square situation by making a precision miter
angle adjustment to the turntable. The Milwaukee
miter angle fi ne adjust system makes this process
quick and easy, especially when the saw is posi-
tioned near a miter detent (stop).
Digital Miter Angle Readout
The Milwaukee 6955-20 has a Digital Miter Angle
Readout at the front of the turntable that displays
the miter angle of the turntable to a resolution of
0.1°. The Digital Miter Angle Readout is based on
the mechanical accuracy of the miter angle detent
plate. It calibrates itself each time the turntable is
placed in a miter detent and it requires no adjust-
ment.
Using the Miter Angle Fine Adjust in conjunction
with the Digital Miter Angle Readout, it is easy to
make accurate minor angle adjustments anywhere
along the miter range. Using these systems to-
gether makes it easy to re-position the turntable
and repeat any miter angle setting.
When the turntable is positioned at a LEFT miter
angle the digital readout will display with a (-)
symbol in front of the angle (for example: -22.5°
or -44.7°). When the turntable is positioned at a
RIGHT miter angle the digital readout will display
as follows: 22.5° or 44.7°.
Dual Bevel Adjustment System
The Dual Bevel Adjustment System allows for
quick and accurate bevel adjustments to either
the Right or the Left. The bevel angle can be set
using detents (stops) for the following commonly
cut angles 0°, 22.5°, 33.85°, 45° Right and Left.
The bevel mechanism also has several degrees
of overtravel beyond 45° on both the left and right.
Electronic Feedback Control Circuit
The Electronic Feedback Control Circuit (EFCC)
helps improve the operation and life of the tool. It al-
lows the tool to maintain constant speed and torque
between no-load and load conditions. The soft start
reduces the amount of torque reaction at startup
to the tool and the user. It gradually increases the
motor speed up from zero to the top no-load speed.
Electric Brake
The electric brake engages when the trigger is re-
leased, causing the blade to stop and allowing you
to proceed with your work. Generally the saw blade
stops in four to fi ve seconds. However, there may
be a delay between the time the trigger is released
and the time the brake engages. Occasionally the
brake may miss completely. If the brake misses
frequently, the saw needs servicing by an autho-
rized MILWAUKEE service station. The brake is
not a substitute for the guards, so it is essential to
always wait for the blade to stop completely before
removing the blade from the kerf.
Lights
The Milwaukee 6950-20 Miter Saw has two high
power lights positioned on either side of the blade
to illuminate the workpiece cutting area so that
it is easy to see blade approach the cutting line.
An ON / OFF switch for the lights is conveniently
located on the trigger handle. The bulb is designed
to provide several years of service. Uses standard
bulb size GE 193.
Dust Management System
The Milwaukee 6955-20 Miter Saw dust collection
system uses a large dust chute on both sides of the
blade to capture and direct dust to back of the saw.
The saw comes with a Dust Elbow and a Dust Bag
that attach to the back of the Dust Chute. The dust
bag has a zipper located on the bottom of the bag
that makes it easy to empty. When using the saw
on a stand, the dust bag zipper can be left open
to allow the waste to fall into a waste container.
Carrying Handles
For ease of transporting, multiple carrying handles
are provided, one on each side of the table and one
on top of the saw head. Always lock the saw head
down when transporting.
