GENERAL SAFETY RULES

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark work areas

invite accidents.

2. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use your power tool in

rain, damp or wet locations or in the presence of explosive atmo-

spheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flamma le materials). Remove

materials or de ris that may e ignited y sparks.

3. Keep bystanders away. Children and ystanders should e kept

at a safe distance from the work area to avoid distracting the opera-

tor and contacting the tool or extension cord.

4. Protect others in the work area from de ris such as chips and

sparks. Provide arriers or shields as needed.

5. Make workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches, or

y removing starter keys.

6. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and

ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug

in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in dou t as to whether the outlet is properly

grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or reak down,

grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away

from the user.

7. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polari ed plug

(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a

polari ed outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in

the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polari ed outlet. Do not change

the plug in any way. Dou le insulation eliminates the need for

the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply

system.

8. Guard against electric shock. Prevent ody contact with

grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-

tors. When making lind or plunge cuts, always check the work area

for hidden wires or pipes. Hold your tool y insulated nonmetal

grasping surfaces. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to

reduce shock hazards.

9. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

10. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools

or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away form heat,

oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords

immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

11. Know your power tool. Read this manual carefully to learn your

power tools applications and limitations as well as potential haz-

ards associated with this type of tool.

12. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense

when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-

ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

13. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear a

protective hair covering to contain long hair. These may e caught in

moving parts. When working outdoors, wear ru er gloves and

insulated non-skid footwear. Keep hands and gloves away from

moving parts.

14. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Be sure your tool is

turned off efore plugging it in. Do not use a tool if the power switch

does not turn the tool on and off. Do not carry a plugged-in tool with

your finger on the switch.

15. Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches. Make a ha it of

checking that adjusting keys, wrenches, etc. are removed from the

tool efore turning it on.

16. Do not overreach. Maintain control. Keep proper footing and

alance at all times. Maintain a firm grip. Use extra care when using

tool on ladders, roofs, scaffolds, etc.

17. Use safety equipment. Everyone in the work area should wear

safety goggles or glasses with side shields complying with

current safety standards. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact

resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Wear hearing protec-

tion during extended use and a dust mask for dusty operations. Hard

hats, face shields, safety shoes, etc. should e used when speci-

fied or necessary. Keep a fire extinguisher near y.

18. Keep guards in place and in working order.

19. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped

or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

20. Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.

21. Secure work. Use a clamp, vise or other practical means to hold

your work securely, freeing oth hands to control the tool.

22. Do not force tool. Your tool will perform est at the rate for which

it was designed. Excessive force only causes operator fatigue,

increased wear and reduced control.

23. Use the right tool. Do not use a tool or attachment to do a jo for

which it is not recommended. For example, do not use a circular

saw to cut tree lim s or logs. Do not alter a tool.

24. Unplug tool when it is not in use, efore changing accessories or

performing recommended maintenance.

25. Store idle tools. When not in use, store your tool in a dry, secured

place. Keep out of reach of children.

26. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn power off. Do

not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

27. Check for damaged parts. Inspect guards and other parts e-

fore use. Check for misalignment, inding of moving parts, improper

mounting, roken parts and any other conditions that may affect

operation. If a normal noise or vi ration occurs, turn the tool off

immediately and have the pro lem corrected efore further use. Do

not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools DO NOT USE until

repaired. A guard or other damaged part should e properly repaired

or replaced y a MILWAUKEE service facility. For all repairs, insist

on only identical replacement parts.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

TOOL USE AND CARE

PERSONAL SAFETY

page 4

1. WARNING! Some dust created y power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known

to cause cancer, irth defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

 lead from lead- ased paint

 crystalline silica from ricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

 arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lum er.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often

you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemi-

cals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed

to filter out microscopic particles.

2. Always keep hands away from the path of the saw blade.

3. Do not defeat the guards of operate the tool without the

guards in place.

4. Always support work properly. Use the fence, support locks,

auxiliary work support or clamps to keep workpiece secure. Al-

ways support the free end of the workpiece and support all small

workpieces. Workpieces that ow and pinch the lade may result in

kick ack. Do not perform any operations freehand (unsupported).

5. Never reach around, under or across blade.

6. Check guards for smooth operation efore each use.

7. Avoid kick back. Kick ack is a violent reaction to a pinched or

inding lade, which throws the saw head upward and towards

the operator. Proper workpiece selection and support, proper lade

selection and maintenance, and even feed rate are essential to

reduce the risk of kick ack.

8. Always wait for the blade to stop completely before chang-

ing positions, retrieving a cut-off piece, or preparing the next cut.

Unplug the tool efore tightening lade screw, servicing, making

adjustments, transporting or moving the saw to another location.

9. Be sure the clamp handle and the bevel adjustment lever

are tightened securely before making cuts.

10. Do not use abrasive wheels with the miter saw.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

11. Use the right blade. Use only recommended lade types and

sizes with proper mounting holes, rated at least 5500 RPM. Follow

the rotation arrow on the lade to e sure you install it properly.

Keep saw lades sharp to help prevent cracking and gra ing.

Never use defective or incorrect washers or olts.

12. Do not lock the trigger in the on position.

13. Wait for the blade to reach full speed before lowering the

saw head to make a cut.

14. Keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it so that

it will not e tripped over or caught on the workpiece while you are

cutting.

15. Do not place hands under the saw motor or in the path of

the blade. Do not retrieve a piece of material that is cut off while the

lade is rotating. Never place hands or fingers ehind or in front of

the saw lade.

16. Keep blades clean and sharp. An unsharpened or improperly

sharpened lade produces a narrow kerf and is likely to e pinched

y the workpiece. A dull lade produces excessive friction which

can cause the lade to warp or ind. Be sure the lade screw is

tight to prevent slipping or loosening during operation.

17. Restarting in mid-cut. If you stop the saw in mid-cut, allow the

lade to stop, then raise the saw out of the cut. Then restart the

saw.

18. If the blade stalls, do not turn the switch on and off. A dull

lade or excess pressure may cause stalling. Release the switch

immediately if the lade inds or the saw stalls and remove the saw

from the cut.

19. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails efore cutting.

20. Thin material tends to warp or sag and must e well-supported

over its entire length to avoid pinching the lade.

21. Position fence properly. The flip fence can e adjusted for com-

pound cuts and miter cuts. Always make sure the fence is adjusted

for the intended cut. Never operate the saw without the fence in

place.

22. Lock the saw head down before transporting.

23. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw

through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head OVER

the workpiece WITHOUT cutting, start the motor, wait a few sec-

onds for the lade to reach full speed, press down on saw head,

and push saw head through the cut.

SERVICE

31. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair

personnel. Service or maintenance performed y unqualified per-

sonnel may result in a risk of injury.

32. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.

follow instructions in the maintenance section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance

instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

28. Use proper accessories. Consult this manual for recommended

accessories. Using improper accessories may e hazardous. Be

sure accessories are properly installed and maintained. Do not de-

feat a guard or other safety device when installing an accessory or

attachment.

29. Maintain tools carefully. Keep handles dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Keep cutting edges sharp and clean. Follow instruc-

tions for lu ricating and changing accessories. Periodically inspect

tool cords and extension cords for damage. Have damaged parts

repaired or replaced y a MILWAUKEE service facility.

30. Maintain labels & nameplates. These carry important informa-

tion. If unreada le or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facil-

ity for a free replacement.

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Dou le insulated

tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance

from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge exten-

sion cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a

serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possi le tool

damage. Refer to the ta le shown to determine the required minimum

wire size.

The smaller the gauge num er of the wire, the greater the capacity of the

cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16

gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the

total length, e sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size

required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add

the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required mini-

mum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

 If you are using an extension cord outdoors, e sure it is marked

with the suffix W-A (W in Canada) to indicate that it is accepta le

for outdoor use.

 Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical

condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it

repaired y a qualified person efore using it.

 Protect your extension cords from sharp o jects, excessive heat

and damp or wet areas.

GROUNDING EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded Tools:

Tools with Three Prong Plugs

Tools marked Grounding Required

have a three wire cord and three

prong grounding plug. The plug must

e connected to a properly grounded

outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should

electrically malfunction or reak

down, grounding provides a low re-

sistance path to carry electricity

away from the user, reducing the risk

of electric shock.

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the

risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you

are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the tool. Never remove

the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the

cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a

MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not

fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

FOR FUTURE USE.

The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire

inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the

cord must e the only wire connected to the tool's grounding system and

must never e attached to an electrically live terminal.

Your tool must e plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug

and outlet should look like those in Figure A.

Double Insulated Tools:

Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked Dou le Insulated do

TOOL ASSEMBLY

Mounting the Miter Saw

To prevent the tool from sliding, falling or tipping during operation, the

saw can e mounted to a supporting surface such as a level, sturdy

work ta le or ench. Position the saw and work ench to allow adequate

room for cross-cutting long workpieces. To mount the saw, insert fas-

teners through the four holes in the ase of the saw.

Installing the Clamp Handle

The clamp handle locks the selected miter angle. The tool is shipped with

the handle unassem led. To install the handle, thread it clockwise into

the tool. To tighten the handle and lock the angle, turn the handle clock-

wise. To loosen and unlock, turn it counterclockwise.

Installing Dust Bag or Vacuum Hose

A dust ag is provided to collect sawdust. To install the dust ag, push

the dust ag onto the dust ejection port. This port is also designed to

accept a standard workshop vacuum hose. To collect sawdust directly

into a vacuum cleaner, attach the vacuum cleaner hose to the dust

ejection port and turn it on efore cutting.

Raising and Lowering the Saw Head

The saw head locks down for transporting and storing the tool. The tool

is shipped with the saw head locked down. To unlock it, press and hold

down the saw head and simultaneously pull out the lock pin. To lock the

saw head, press and hold down the saw head and then push in the lock

pin.

Lock-Off

There is a hole in the trigger through which a padlock will fit to lock the

tool when it is not in use. Use a padlock with a 1/4" shackle and always

unplug the tool efore installing it (padlock not supplied with tool).

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before

attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments.

Use only specifically recommended accessories. Others

may be ha ardous.

Installing and Changing Blades (Fig. 1)

MILWAUKEE offers a full line of car ide-tipped Miter Saw lades. Al-

ways use clean, sharp lades ecause dull lades tend to overload the

tool, ind and cause pinching. Use only 10" lades rated at least 5500 RPM.

3. Loosen (do not remove) the two screws on the lade screw guard

counterclockwise.

4. Rotate lade screw guard to expose lade screw.

5. Press in the spindle lock and rotate the spindle until the lock en-

gages.

6. Use the wrench supplied with the tool to loosen and remove the left-

hand thread lade screw clockwise (wrench is stored ehind the

right fence in wrench holder).

7. Lift and hold up the lower guard.

8. Remove the outer lade flange, lade (if present), and the inner

lade flange. Wipe the flanges and spindle to remove dust and

de ris.

9. Install the inner lade flange as shown.

10. Match the arrow on the lade with the arrow on the tool casting.

Install the selected lade y sliding the lade etween the gap in the

fence and then lifting the lade up to the spindle.

11. Install the outer lade flange.

12. Press in the spindle lock and rotate the lade until lock engages

while replacing and securely tightening the lade screw counter-

clockwise with supplied wrench.

13. Rotate the lade screw guard into position and securely tighten the

two screws clockwise. Return the wrench to the wrench holder.

14. Lower the saw head and check the clearance etween the lade

and the turnta le. The lade should rotate freely.

NOTE: If you are installing the lade for the first time, e aware that

kerf plates (which come uncut) need to e cut efore use. See

"Cutting the Kerf Plate Slot".

A Note About Kerf Plates

The purpose of the kerf plate is to eliminate tear-out (splintering along the

cut) y providing edge support for the workpiece. Because saw lades

can vary in width, to get the est possi le edge support and alignment

and to reduce tear-out, each lade (or width of lade) should have its

own kerf plate.

page 8

OPERATION

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses

with side shields. Always wait for the blade to stop com-

pletely and unplug the tool before changing accessories or

making adjustments. Do not defeat the guards.

Collecting Dust

For dust collection, MILWAUKEE recommends using either Dust Bag No.

48-09-1025 or a MILWAUKEE Vacuum Cleaner. The dust tu e is de-

signed to accept a standard vacuum hose and swivels for convenience.

Using Face Boards

There are face oard mounting holes in the fences for attaching face

oards. Face oards place distance etween the fence and the

workpiece, providing improved support for some workpieces. For ex-

ample, as the width of the face oard increases, the height of the

workpiece which can e cut increases slightly ( ut the width capacity

decreases slightly). Similarly, if you place a face oard on the saw ta le

and place a workpiece on top of the face oard, you can cut a workpiece

with greater width ( ut with less height).

Guards

The tool is shipped with oth the upper and lower guard installed. The

lower guard should cover the lade when the saw head is up and it

should open automatically as the saw head is lowered into the workpiece.

If the lower guard appears loose or if it does not move to cover the lade

when the saw head is up, take the saw to an authorized service center

for repairs. Do not attempt to open the guard further than the automatic

action permits. The tool is designed so that when the guard is opened

with the saw head in the up position, the saw head cannot e lowered.

Select the Workpiece Carefully

Be cautious of pitchy, knotty, wet or warped workpieces. These materi-

als are likely to create pinching conditions. Workpieces that ow and

pinch may result in kick ack. Inspect for and remove nails efore cut-

ting. Always keep lades clean and sharp; otherwise the lade pro-

duces a narrow kerf and is likely to e pinched y the workpiece. This

tool is not recommended for cutting ferrous metals such as iron and

steel. See Applications for a more complete list of materials.

Support the Workpiece Properly (Figs. 2, 3 & 4)

Always support the workpiece during operation. Otherwise, the

workpiece may pull up and into the saw. While there are many ways to

support and secure workpieces, MILWAUKEE advises using one of the

following three methods.

1. Use the Fence: Align the workpiece flush against the fence as

shown to provide a straight path for the saw lade (Fig. 2). This will

help eliminate the tendency for the lade teeth to ind. The fence

can e used as a support for miter, evel and compound cuts.

2. Use Vise No 49-52-0310: Clamp the workpiece to the ase using

the MILWAUKEE vise (Fig. 3). The vise fits into the slot on the ack

of the left fence.

3. Use a C-clamp: Clamp the workpiece to the fence with a C-clamp

(Fig. 4).

Support of Longer Workpieces

Longer workpieces need support along their length. If you are using the

saw on a level work ench, prop up the workpiece with a small piece of

2x4 on its edge. (The saw ase surface is 3-1/2" (the width of a 2x4)

from the ottom of the saw feet.) There are also many aftermarket work

ta les specifically designed for miter saws that provide supports for all

types of workpieces.

Adjusting the Miter Angle

The miter mechanism on the MILWAUKEE Magnum® Compound Miter

Saw has detent settings for commonly cut angles (0°, 15°, 22.5° 30°, and

45°). These detents make for quick, accurate set up of common angles.

In addition to the spring-loaded detents there is also a detent override.

The detent override, when engaged, allows the turnta le to smoothly

rotate to any miter angle. The turnta le can e easily locked at any miter

angle. The detent override is especially useful when making small ad-

justments near 0°, 15°, 22.5° 30°, and 45°.

The saw cuts miter angles from 51° on the left to 59° on the right. Angle

markings appear on the scale that runs along the perimeter of the ase.

1. To select a positive angle stop, loosen the clamp handle.

Press the angle stop lever and rotate the turnta le to the desired

angle.

Tighten the clamp handle.

2. To select other angles, use the override mechanism, which allows

quick and accurate adjustments at any angle.

Press the angle stop lever down and in with your thum until the

lever engages with the lock lever. Rotate the turnta le to the desired

angle. Tighten the clamp handle securely clockwise.

Adjusting the Bevel Angle (Fig. 5)

The evel mechanism has two positive sping-loaded stops: one at 0°

and one at 45°. The mechanism can e adjusted to any angle in etween

y using the evel angle scale. The evel mechanism also has several

degrees of overtravel on oth the left and right; the saw can e adjusted

to 48° on the left and to negative 3° on the right. To o tain the overtravel,

apply several pounds of force on the saw handle to override the spring-

loaded stops. Do not attempt to exceed the stated overtravel.

1. To adjust the evel angle, place one hand on the front handle for

etter control. Using the other hand, loosen the evel adjustment

lever counterclockwise.

2. Pull or push the saw handle to desired position, using the evel

angle scale as a guide.

3. Tighten the evel adjustment lever clockwise securely.

Adjusting the Depth of Cut (Fig. 5)

The depth of cut is adjusted at the factory. Sometimes it may e neces-

sary to readjust the depth. For example, as lades wear down and are

resharpened, you may wish to increase the depth of cut. When uying

a new lade, you may need to reduce the depth of cut.

1. Unplug the tool.

2. Loosen the lock nut y turning counterclockwise.

3. Slightly raise the saw head to reduce the depth of cut or slightly

lower the saw head to increase the depth of cut. Make only a

SLIGHT adjustment.

4. Securely tighten the lock nut.

5. Make a sample cut and adjust as necessary.

Using the Flip Fence (Figs. 6, 7, & 8)

The quick-change flip fence can e positioned for simple miter cuts

(Fig. 6) and for evel and compound cuts (Fig. 7). This helps to provide

superior support for oth types of cuts.

Fig. 6

Fig. 7

1. To adjust the fence, loosen the fence lock lever (counterclockwise)

(Fig. 8). When the fence lock lever is parallel with the fence slot, pull

the fence away from the saw. A firm detent must e overridden to

accomplish this.

2. Position the fence for the desired cut. Always position the fence

properly for maximum work support.

3. With the fence lock lever parallel to the fence, insert the fence lock

lever through the fence slot. Turn the fence lock lever clockwise to

secure the fence to the tool.

NOTE: The clamp on the mechanism must e rotated to a vertical

position, 90° to the slot. This position is required for proper clamping.

Starting and Stopping the Tool

Always hold the handle firmly ecause the starting and stopping action

of the motor may cause the handle to move up or down slightly. Always

secure the turnta le y tightening the clamp handle when setting miter

angles. Always make sure the spindle lock is released so the lade is

free to rotate.

1. To start the motor, pull the trigger.

2. To stop the motor, release the trigger.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, do not rely on the brake as a

safety feature. Always wait until the blade stops completely

before allowing anything near the blade.

Electric Brake

The electric rake engages when the trigger is released, causing the

lade to stop and allowing you to proceed with your work. Generally the

saw lade stops in four to five seconds. However, there may e a delay

etween the time the trigger is released and the time the rake engages.

Occasionally the rake may miss completely. If the rake misses fre-

quently, the saw needs servicing y an authorized MILWAUKEE ser-

vice station. The rake is not a su stitute for the guards, so it is essential

to always wait for the lade to stop completely efore removing the

lade from the kerf. The correct rush grade must e used for proper

operation of the rake. Use only identical MILWAUKEE replacement

rushes when servicing the tool.

Cutting the Kerf Plate Slot

The tool is shipped with the kerf plate installed; never attempt to make a

cut without the plate installed. The kerf plate is NOT factory-cut, so the

first cut you make with the tool will e to create a kerf slot. The angle of

the kerf slot for compound cuts is different than that for miter cuts.

Therefore, it is necessary to cut new kerf slots for each type of angle.

Generally, it is est to cut a kerf slot efore cutting a workpiece.

When cutting a kerf slot, e sure to use the lade you intend to use for

your work since lades have different widths that affect the kerf. When

changing from a thick lade to a thinner one, you may want to purchase

a new kerf plate and cut a new kerf slot. Also, evel cuts require a

different kerf slot than miter cuts, so always e sure to cut a new slot for

evel cuts. Cut the kerf slot following the procedure elow.

1. Raise the saw head OVER the kerf plate WITHOUT cutting.

2. Start the motor. Wait a few seconds for the lade to reach full

speed.

3. Press down on the saw head. To help prevent damaging the kerf

plate, gently and slowly lower the saw head to the full depth of cut

(the point where the saw head will not lower any further). When the

cut is complete, release the trigger. WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP

COMPLETELY efore gently raising the saw head.

4. Push saw through the cut.
