Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull
the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise
the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece
without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head
down and push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw
blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently
throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
Never cross your hand over the intended line of

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paint
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to

ASSEMBLY
Installing the Carrying Handles
The carrying handles are used for transport as well
as support extensions for cutting longer workpieces.
Use the four bolts to attach the carrying handles to
each side of the mitrH saw table, using the blade
wrench provided. Tighten securely.
Always lock the slide rails and lock down the saw
head before transporting tool. Only carry tools by
the carrying handles.
Installing the Kickstand
Lay the mitrH saw on its side. Insert the kickstand
(the bend should angle toward the ground) into the
two holes under the slide rails. Push the kickstand
in until it won't go any further. To secure, insert and
tighten the screw into the end of one kickstand prong.
Transporting and Storing
Always lock the saw head and slide rails before
transporting and storing the tool.
Saw Head
To lock, press and hold down the saw head and then
push in the lock-down pin.
To unlock, press and hold down the saw head and
pull out the lock-down pin. Raise the saw head.
Slide Rails
To unlock, loosen the slide rail lock by turning it
counterclockwise. NOTE: If the slide does not appear
to work when the slide rail lock is loosened, the chop
lock may be locked.
To lock, slide the saw head forward and tighten the
slide rail lock by turning it clockwise. CAUTION! Do
not use the chop lock to lock the rails for transport.
Mounting the MitrH Saw
To prevent the tool from sliding, falling or tipping
from a raised work surface during operation, the saw
should be mounted to a supporting surface such as
a level, sturdy work table, bench, or mitrH saw stand.
Position the saw and workbench to allow adequate
room for cross-cutting long workpieces. To mount

The dust port at the back of the saw can be con-
nected to a standard workshop vacuum hose or the
included dust bag. Leave the dust bag open to direct
dust down into a garbage can.
To install, push and twist the hose or dust bag onto
the dust port.
Using Face Boards
When using face boards, secure them using the
mounting holes in the fences. Face boards place dis-
tance between the fence and the workpiece, providing
improved support for some workpieces. Workpiece
splintering can be reduced by using face boards.
Remove battery pack.
2. Lower the saw head.
3. Raise the lower guard and hold up while raising
the saw head. Let go of the lower guard. The lower
guard will remain up in the blade-changing OPEN

of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be
obvious and you may be seriously injured. Saw head
may slide/move, putting your safety at risk. Always
wait for the blade to stop completely before raising
the head,
moving workpiece or changing settings
.
Select the Workpiece Carefully
Be cautious of pitchy, knotty, wet or warped work-
pieces. These materials are likely to create pinching
conditions. Workpieces that bow and pinch may
result in kick back. Inspect for and remove nails
before cutting. Always keep blades clean and sharp;
otherwise the blade produces a narrow kerf and is
likely to be pinched by 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 that can be cut.
Support the Workpiece Properly
Always support the workpiece during operation.
Otherwise, the workpiece may pull up and into the
saw. WARNING!
Use clamps to support the work-
piece whenever possible to keep hands far from
the blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are
held by hand or too small to be securely clamped.
1. Use the Fence:+ROGWKHZRUNSLHFHÀXVKDJDLQVW
the fence to provide a straight path for the saw
blade. This will help eliminate the tendency for
the blade teeth to bind. The fence can be used
as a support for mitrH, bevel and compound cuts.
WARNING! Keep hands out of the No Hands Zone
at all times during use. Use the fence hand holds
to ensure your hands do not enter the No Hands
Zone.
2. Use the workpiece clamp: Clamp the workpiece
to the table with the included clamp. The clamp
can be moved to either side of the table.
a. Insert the clamp bar into either clamp socket
behind the fences.
b. Turn the clamp bar until it seats fully into the
socket.
c. Rotate the clamp around so the screw is above
the table.
d. Tighten the clamp screw to secure the work-
piece to the table.
3. Use a C-clamp: Clamp the workpiece to the fence
with a C-clamp.

Adjusting the Bevel Angle
The bevel angle can be set using detents for commonly
cut angles (0°, 22., 33.85°, 45°), as well as adjusted
to any angle in between by using the bevel angle scale.
The bevel mechanism also has several degrees of
overtravel on both the left and right.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Lift the bevel adjustment lever to the Unlock
position.
3. Tilt the saw head left or right to the desired angle.
4. To use one of the preset angles (0°, 22.5°, 33.85°,

Support of Longer Workpieces
Adjusting the Mitre Angle
Longer workpieces need support along their full
length. If you are using the saw on a level work
bench, prop up the workpiece to a height of 89 mm
(3-1/2") (50 mm x 100 mm set on its side) from the
bottom of the saw feet. There are also many
aftermarket work tables specifically designed for
mitre saws that provide supports for all types of
workpieces.
The mitre angle can be set using detents for commonly cut
angles (0°, 15°, 22.5° 31.6°, 45°, 50° left, and 60° right), as
well as finely adjusted to any angle to compensate for a
custom situation.

Adjusting the Fences
Every time the bevel or mitre angle settings are changed,
make sure the fences are set correctly.
Fences MUST:
Support the workpiece
Not interfere with the blade or lower guard
Be adjusted to keep hands out of the No Hand Zone
To adjust the Fences
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Loosen the fence lock knobs.
3. Slide the fences side-to-side to the desired posi-
tion to allow for a bevel or compound mitrH cut.
Position the fences properly for maximum work
support while maintaining hand safety. WARNING!
Ensure fence hand holds are positioned to keep
hands out of the No Hand Zone.
4. Tighten the fence lock knobs securely before mak-
ing a cut.
NOTE: If either fence has any movement forward
to backward, tighten the fence set screw, located
on the back of each fence slot.
5. With the saw OFF and the workpiece removed
from the table, slowly lower the saw head com-
pletely to ensure the guard and blade do not con-
tact the fences when making mitrH and bevel cuts.
Guards
The lower guard should cover the blade when the
saw head is up and it should move freely and open
automatically as the saw head is lowered into the
workpiece. WARNING! Never disable or remove
guards. Only push the lower guard into the OPEN
position when changing blades.
If the lower guard appears loose, sticks, or does not
cover the blade when the saw head is up, take the saw
to an authoriVed service centrH for repairs.
Ensure the Fences are adjusted properly to allow for
free-movement of the guards during the complete
movement of the cut.
Setting for Chop Cuts
The slides can be locked and the saw head set in
the proper position to use the saw for chop cuts (cuts
not requiring the use of the slides).
1. To lock, push Chop Lock to
.
2. Slide saw head until it locks into place.

the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for repairs.
Adjusting the Mitre Saw
This Mitre Saw is fully adjusted at the factory. If it is not
accurate due to shipping and handling, please follow
these steps to accurately set up your saw. Once the
saw is properly adjusted, it should remain accurate
under normal jobsite and transportation conditions.
Cutting Crown Molding Angled Against
the Fence (Nested – in position)
Always use a crown stop when cutting crown
molding angled against the fence. When cutting
crown molding angled against the fence does
not require bevel settings. Small changes in the
mitre angle can be made without affecting the
bevel angle. When using this method the saw
can be quickly and easily adjusted for corners
that are not 90° (square).
