| How To Turn On Milwaukee Circular Saw |
Step 1: Battling the Beast (Unless You Went Cordless)
First things first, corded or cordless?
Corded comrades: This is where things get primal. Plug that bad boy into a wall outlet with enough juice to handle the saw's amperage (check the manual, it's not a wrestling match).
Cordless crusaders: High five for ditching the cord! Slap a charged M18 battery on the back of your saw until you hear that satisfying click. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Safety first, people! Make sure the saw is unplugged (corded) or the battery is removed (cordless) before moving on.
Step 2: The Dance of the Buttons (It's Not the Macarena)
Now we're talking! Locate the two key players:

Step 3: The Art of Not Taking Fingers for Granted
Circular saws are amazing, but they have a thing for chomping through anything in their path. Here's how to avoid becoming the main course:

Double-check that the blade guard is covering the teeth when the saw isn't in use.
Respect the power! These saws are strong, so use them with care and control.
Remember, a little caution is a lot cooler than a trip to the ER.
Now You're Sawing Like a Boss!
Congratulations, fearless DIYer! You've successfully powered up your Milwaukee circular saw. Get out there and tackle those projects like a champ.
