Rip Cutting
2. Select the saw height based on your
workpiece, following the measure on
the rip ruler.
Making Cuts Less than 1"
Lock-Off Feature
A rip cut is a horizontal cut that can be done
from the LEFT TO THE RIGHT or from the
RIGHT TO THE LEFT, but the work piece
must always be moved through the saw
in the direction of the arrow on the saw
motor.
When making cuts that are less than 1",
the chatter guard (located inside the blade
guard) must be on the workpiece and not on
the cut-off piece. If the chatter guard is on the
cut-off piece, it will jam on the workpiece and
prevent the carriage from continuing through
the cut. If the saw jams, turn the tool OFF
and wait for the blade to stop. Then back the
saw out of the cut.
Unplug the tool before installing the padlock.
There is a hole in the switch through which a
padlock (not supplied with tool) will fit to lock
the tool when it is not in use. Use a padlock
with a 1-1/2" shackle, 5/16" diameter (such
as the Master Lock 1KALJ).
3. Tighten the carriage lock securely.
4.
Plug in the tool.
5. Start the motor and allow it to reach full
speed before beginning the cut.
MILWAUKEE recommends using the Hold
Down Bar Kit for frequent cutting of workpiec-
es thinner than 1/4" (see "Accessories").
6. Place the workpiece on the rollers. Do
not to drop the material; this may knock
the rollers out of alignment or damage
the rollers.
The minimum length recommended for rip
cuts is 2-1/2' (work supported by four roll-
ers). The same size applies if you use the
Midway Fence Kit.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
For easier cutting and best performance,
MILWAUKEE recommends using the Exten-
sion Kit when rip-cutting workpieces longer
than 6' (see "Accessories"). Do not rip-cut
workpieces that exceed 8'.
To reduce the risk of injury and
damage to the tool, do not use push
sticks. Push sticks or the workpiece
can kick back, cause the blade to
pinch, or become caught in the
blade and be thrown from the tool.
WARNING
Lubricating Guide Tubes
The saw carriage should raise itself from the
bottom to the top of the guide tubes. How-
ever, if the tubes become caked with dust
or debris, the saw carriage may get stuck or
it may not slide smoothly. Periodically clean
the guide tubes with a damp cloth, following
the directions under "Cleaning". Then, use a
dry lubricant such as PTFE or spray silicone.
Other lubricants will cause dust and debris
to collect on the tubes, contaminating the
bearings.

WARNING

.
When the motor has reached full speed,
slowly move the workpiece through the
saw in the direction of the feed arrow
on the saw motor. Avoid placing your
hands, clothing or body parts under the
saw carriage. Do not look directly down
the line of cut because dust and debris
are generated during operation. Do not
use push sticks.
To reduce the risk of injury, ripping
must always be done by moving
the workpiece through the saw in
the direction of the arrow on the
saw motor.
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, broken parts and
any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration oc-
curs, 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

To reduce the risk of injury, electric
shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a

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 thinner,
paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents con-
taining ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
