Installing and Removing Blades from the Quik-
Lok
®
Blade Clamp
Remove battery pack before changing blades.
Make sure the spindle and blade clamp areas are
clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the
Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp from clamping securely.
1. Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted
with the teeth facing up or down. To install a
blade, slide the release lever up. Insert the blade
into the clamp until the tang butts against the
collar.

2. Release the lever and the spring loaded mecha-
nism will clamp the blade fi rmly in place.
3. Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked
in place.
4. To remove a blade, slide the release lever up
and pull the blade from the tool. Be careful when
handling hot blades.

Blade Clamp Maintenance
• Periodically clean dust and debris from the Quik-
®
Lok
Blade Clamp with dry compressed air.
• If the collar resists, slide the release lever back
and forth to shake debris loose.
• Periodically lubricate Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp with
a dry lubricant such as graphite.
Removing broken blades from the Quik-Lok
Blade Clamp
Broken blades can be removed by the following
methods.
• Remove battery pack before removing blades.
• Point the tool downward, slide up and hold the
release lever, and shake the tool up and down
(DO NOT turn the tool on while your fi ngers are
holding the blade clamp open). The shank of the
broken blade should drop out of the clamp.
• If shaking the tool doesn't work...
In most cases, a corner of the broken blade will
extend beyond the blade clamp. Slide up and hold
the release lever, and pull the broken blade out of
the clamp by this corner.
• If the broken stub doesn't extend far enough to be
grabbed by its corner, use a thin blade with small
teeth (such as a metal cutting blade) to hook the
blade that is jammed in the clamp while holding
up the release lever, and pull it out.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
be sure the blade always extends beyond the
shoe and workpiece throughout the stroke.
Blades may shatter if they impact the work-
piece or shoe (Fig. 2).

WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing acces-
sories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
Trigger Lock
To lock
the trigger, push the trigger lock to the
center. The trigger will not work while the switch
is in the locked position. Always lock the trigger
and remove the battery pack before performing
maintenance and changing accessories. Lock the
trigger when storing the tool and when the tool is
not in use.
To unlock
the trigger, push the trigger lock to
the left or right.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury, always hold tool securely.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle fi rmly and pull
the trigger.
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the
pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger
is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure
the blade comes to a complete stop before re-
moving the blade from a partial cut or laying the
tool down.
Electric Brake
The electric brake engages when the trigger is
released, causing the blade to stop and allowing
you to proceed with your work. Generally, the saw
blade stops within two seconds. However, there
may be a delay between the time you release the
trigger and when the brake engages. Occasion-
ally the brake may miss completely. If the brake
misses frequently, the saw needs servicing by an
authorized MILWAUKEE service facility. You must
always wait for the blade to stop completely before
removing the saw from the workpiece.
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.
OPERATION
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.
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 downward. Column
B shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the
blade facing upward. Do not plunge cut into metal
surfaces (see "Cutting Metals").
1. Insert the blade into the tool.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing
downward, hold the tool as shown in Column A,
resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing
upward, hold the tool as shown in Column B,
resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
2. With the blade just above the workpiece, pull the
trigger. Using the edge of the shoe as a pivot,
lower the blade into the workpiece as shown.
3. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly until the shoe rests fi rmly on the
workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cutting
line to acquire the desired cut.
NOTE: To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy
gauge blade and install the blade with the teeth
facing upward as shown in Column B.
