application. Using the wrong blade may result in
reduced performance or damage to the blade. Do
not use blades that are cracked or have broken
teeth. Do not sharpen ferrous metal cutting blades;
see the blade manufacturer's recommendations
regarding sharpening.
Checking the Operation of the Lower Guard
Check the operation and condition of the lower
guard lever. If the guard and the lever are not op-
erating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
1. Unplug tool before checking the lower guard.
2. Place the tool on its side.
NOTE: This procedure will not show proper lower
guard operation if the tool is not on its side.
3. Grasp the lower guard by the sides and push it
all the way back into the blade housing.
4. Release the lower guard.
• If the guard immediately springs back into
place, it is working correctly and you may
continue with use.
• If the guard does not immediate spring back
into place, clean the upper and lower guards
to remove all chips and debris. Then, check
the operation again by starting with step 1.
• If the guard still does not immediately spring
back into place, contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for repairs.
4. Place outer blade washer, spring washer, and
blade bolt on spindle.
5. Push in spindle lock button while turning bolt
counterclockwise with 6 mm hex wrench until
spindle locks. Tighten bolt securely.
