GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos­pheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi­tions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use

of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with

your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

2

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil­dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

BA TTER Y T OOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re
when used with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with specifi cally desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and fi re.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips,

3

coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a fi re.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject­ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur­faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.

• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause can­cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING Recharge only with the

charger specified for the battery. For spe­cifi c charging instructions, read the operator’s
manual supplied with your charger and battery.

WARNING Always remove battery

pack before changing or removing ac­cessories. Only use accessories specifi cally
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.

Removing Battery Pack from Tool

Push in the release buttons and pull the battery
pack away from the tool.

Inserting Battery Pack into Tool

To insert the battery pack onto the tool, slide the
pack onto the body of the tool. Make sure it latches
securely into place.

Selecting a Blade

The Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp can be used with
all 1/2" shank universal Sawzall® blades. Use
MILWAUKEE High Performance Super Sawzall®
blades for best performance. When selecting a
blade, choose the right type and length.
Many types of blades are available for a variety of
applications: cutting metal, wood, nail-embedded
wood, scroll cutting, roughing-in, and contours.
Many lengths are also available. Choose a length
long enough to extend beyond the shoe and your
work throughout the stroke. Do not use blades

less than 3-1/2" long since they won't extend
beyond the shoe throughout the stroke.

For best performance and longest life, see “Acces­sories” to select the best blade for the job.

Installing and Removing Blades from the Quik­Lok® 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

when handling hot blades.

Quik-Lok

• Periodically clean dust and debris from the Quik-

Lok® Blade Clamp with dry compressed air.

• If the collar resists twisting, twist the collar 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, twist the collar, 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. Twist the collar and pull the broken
blade out of the clamp by this corner.

®

Blade Clamp Maintenance

• 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 twisting
the collar and pull it out.

Adjusting the Pivot Shoe

WARNING To reduce the risk of

injury, blades
must extend
beyond the shoe
and workpiece
throughout the
stroke. Blades
may shatter if they impact the workpiece or shoe.

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

1. To adjust the shoe, pull the

shoe release lever down

WARNING To reduce the risk of per-

blade stops within two seconds. However, there
may be a delay between the time you release the
trigger and when the brake engages. Occasion­ally 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 increasing
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.

WARNING T o 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

Y our MILWAUKEE Sawzall
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. "A"
shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade
facing downward. (When attempting to plunge cut in
this manner, shoe must be moved
all the way out, as shown.) "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 "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 "B", rest­ing the edge of the shoe on the
workpiece as shown.

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 "B".
