What type of blade is recommended for cutting metal with this saw?

Use a bi-metal blade designed for cutting metal. Ensure the blade's TPI (teeth per inch) is appropriate for the thickness of the metal you are cutting.

How do I adjust the orbital action on the Milwaukee 6268-21 Saw?

Locate the orbital action lever on the side of the saw. Adjust it to the desired setting based on the material being cut; lower settings for smoother cuts and higher settings for faster, rougher cuts.

Can the Milwaukee 6268-21 Saw cut through thick wood?

Yes, it can cut through thick wood. Use a blade specifically designed for wood cutting and ensure the saw is set to the appropriate speed and orbital action for the material thickness.

How do I reduce vibration while using the saw?

Ensure the saw is securely held and the material is clamped down. Use a blade suited for the material type and thickness. Adjust the orbital action and speed settings for a smoother operation.

What is the proper way to store the Milwaukee 6268-21 Saw after use?

Clean any dust or debris from the saw, especially around the motor vents. Store it in a dry and secure location, ideally in its original case, to prevent damage.

How can I troubleshoot uneven cuts with the Milwaukee 6268-21 Saw?

Check if the blade is properly aligned and sharpened. Ensure the material is securely clamped and the saw's base is flat against the material. Verify that the orbital action and speed are set correctly for the task.
