Adjusting Depth - Milwaukee 6390-20 Operator's Manual

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 operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged 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.
