M18 FUEL 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (Tool-Only)

Milwaukee recommends using the Milwaukee Thick Kerf blade 48-41-0740 as some thin kerf blades have warped when used with this saw.

Key Features:

1. M18 FUEL Technology:

   • The saw is part of Milwaukee's M18 FUEL line, which combines a powerful brushless motor, REDLITHIUM battery technology, and advanced electronics to deliver top performance, extended runtime, and durability.

2. Brushless Motor:

   • The POWERSTATE™ brushless motor provides more power, longer motor life, and better overall performance compared to traditional brushed motors. It delivers up to 5,800 RPM for fast and smooth cutting.

3. 7-1/4 Inch Blade:

   • The saw uses a standard 7-1/4 inch blade, which is ideal for a wide range of cutting applications. It can handle everything from framing lumber to plywood and other building materials.

4. REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence:

6. Magnesium Shoe and Guards:

   • The saw features a lightweight magnesium shoe and guards, which contribute to its durability while keeping the overall weight down. This design provides a solid, stable base for accurate cutting.

7. Adjustable Bevel and Depth Settings:

   • The saw has an adjustable bevel capacity up to 50 degrees, allowing for angled cuts. The depth adjustment lever is easy to use, enabling quick changes to the cutting depth for various materials.

8. Electric Brake:

   • An electric brake quickly stops the blade after the trigger is released, enhancing safety and reducing downtime between cuts.

9. Ergonomic Design:

   • The saw is designed with user comfort in mind, featuring an ergonomic handle that provides a secure grip and reduces fatigue during extended use.

10. Integrated Rafter Hook:

    • The built-in rafter hook allows you to hang the saw easily when it’s not in use, keeping it within reach and off the ground.

Common Uses:

1. Framing:

   • Ideal for framing walls, cutting studs, and trimming lumber, making it a go-to tool for carpenters and builders.

2. General Construction:

   • Versatile enough to handle a variety of construction tasks, including cutting plywood, OSB, and other sheet goods.

3. Remodeling:

   • Perfect for renovation projects where precise cuts and mobility are essential, such as cutting openings for doors and windows.

4. Deck Building:

   • Great for cutting deck boards, joists, and other components during deck construction.

5. DIY Projects:

   • Suitable for home improvement projects, from building furniture to constructing outdoor structures.

How to Use:

1. Insert the Battery:

   • Attach a fully charged M18 REDLITHIUM battery to the saw, ensuring it is securely connected.

2. Adjust the Saw Settings:

   • Set the cutting depth and bevel angle according to the material and cut you need to make.

3. Safety Precautions:

   • Wear appropriate safety gear, including safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves. Make sure the workpiece is securely clamped or supported.

4. Start Cutting:

   • Align the blade with your cut line, squeeze the trigger, and allow the blade to reach full speed before making contact with the material. Guide the saw along the line using steady pressure.

5. Use the Electric Brake:

   • After the cut, release the trigger, and the electric brake will quickly stop the blade. This safety feature helps prevent accidents and saves time.

6. Storage:

   • Hang the saw on a rafter using the integrated hook or store it in a safe place when not in use.
