Warning
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the tool before attaching or
removing accessories. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the
general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE”
until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electri-
cal operation
Maintaining Oil Level
Check oil level before use. To check level, set saw
for maximum depth, rest it flat on its shoe and check
oil level window. Oil level should be below max oil
level line on tool (about 1/2 oz.).
If oil level is low:
1. Add oil by setting the saw on its shoe and remov-
ing the oil plug.
2. Pour oil into the chamber. DO NOT OVERFILL.
3. When the proper oil level is reached, replace oil
plug.
MILWAUKEE oil is a synthetic oil specifically en-
gineered for worm drive saws. Substitute oils may
cause damage to the tool and be unsatisfactory in
various temperatures. Check oil level frequently
when using tool for extended hours. (Caution: Oil
may be hot.)
Warning
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to
flow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
