Blade Clamp (Accessory 49-22-5016)
1. Unplug the tool before changing blades.
2. Be sure the spindle and blade clamp area are
clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the
blade clamp screw from clamping securely.
3. To install a blade, loosen the blade clamp screw,
turning it counterclockwise. Insert the blade until
the tang butts against the spindle.
NOTE: The blade must be inserted all the way
into the spindle so that the tang on the blade
seats fi rmly in the blade clamp.

Adjustable Pivot Shoe
The shoe can be adjusted forward or backward to
take advantage of the unused portion of the blade
or for special jobs requiring low blade clearance.

without a shoe. Striking the spindle against
the work may damage the reciprocating
mechanism.

always unplug tool before attaching or remov-
ing accessories or making adjustments. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
WARNING

Impact Protection System
Select models are equipped with a unique patented
gearing system that provides effi cient power trans-
mission and extended life in the most diffi cult cut-
ting applications. This durable system will absorb
impacts, blade lock ups, and motor stalls. These
models can be used for extreme cutting applica-
tions such as large diameter pipe, thick metal,
pallets, and heavy demolition and renovation work
as well as for general purpose cutting.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
To start the tool, grasp the handle fi rmly and pull
the trigger.
To stop the tool, release the trigger. Allow the tool to
come to a complete stop before removing the blade
from a partial cut or laying the tool down.
Trigger Speed Control Switch
MILWAUKEE Sawzalls ® are equipped with a trig-
ger speed control switch. It may be operated at
any speed from zero strokes per minute to full
speed. Always start tool before blade contacts the
workpiece. To vary the speed, simply increase or
decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further
the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed. To stop
the tool, release the trigger and allow the tool to
stop completely before removing from a partial cut
or before laying the tool down.
OPERATION
General Cutting
For straight or contour cutting from an edge, line the
blade up with your cutting line. Before the blade
contacts the workpiece, grasp the handle fi rmly
and pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along your
cutting line. Always hold the shoe fl at against the
workpiece to avoid excessive vibration.
Cutting Metals
Begin cutting at a slow speed, gradually increas-
ing speed as you cut. When cutting into metals or
hard materials that can not be cut from an edge,
drill a starting hole larger than the widest part of
the blade. Extend blade life by using a solid blade
cutting lubricant such as MILWAUKEE Band Saw
Blade Lubricant Cat. No. 49-08-4206.
Plunge Cutting
Your MILWAUKEE Sawzall ® is ideal for plunge cut-
ting directly into surfaces that can not be cut from
an edge, such as walls or fl oors. Plunge cutting may
be done two ways depending on how the blade is
inserted. Column A shows how to plunge cut with
the teeth of the blade facing down. Column B shows
how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade fac-
ing up. Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces (see
"Cutting Metals").
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explo-
sion, electric shock and property damage,
always check the work area for hidden gas
pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when
making blind or plunge cuts.
