Milwaukee Front Handle Assembly
Model Number: 31-44-0226
The Milwaukee 31-44-0226 is a genuine OEM Front Handle Assembly for the 6370-59A and 6370-20 8 in. Metal Cutting Saws. The front handle is the forward grip the operator holds for two-handed control of the saw through a cut, positioned ahead of the motor housing where this dry-cut metal saw needs a firm, steady hold to track the cut line and manage the tool. As an assembly, it provides the complete forward grip for the saw. The handle takes the operator's grip load and the knocks of jobsite use, so a cracked, loose, or broken front handle compromises control and safe two-handed operation. Fitting the genuine Milwaukee OEM front handle assembly restores a secure, correctly located forward grip, where an off-spec handle may not mount to the saw's bosses or align with the lower guard lever and other controls.
This front handle is identified as the Front Handle Assembly, Figure 15, on the Milwaukee service parts list for the 6370-59A 220-240V 8 in. Metal Cutting Saw, bulletin 55-40-1635, and it carries the same Figure 15 on the 120V 6370-20 (bulletin 54-40-1628), so it fits both the 230V and 120V versions of this saw. Important: the 6370 saws were built in more than one construction, and a later Serial C construction uses a different front handle, the 31-44-0225 Front Handle at Figure 33, together with separate left and right handle halves (31-44-0206 and 31-44-0216); Milwaukee notes that the logo on the handle and the collector cover identifies the construction. Confirm your saw's construction and serial number before ordering, so 31-44-0226 is correct only if your saw uses the one-piece Front Handle Assembly. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number.
