GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
WARNING
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fl ammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
7. 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.
8. When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
2 3
PERSONAL SAFETY
9. Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your fi nger on
the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these de-
vices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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 preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tools or
these instructions to operate power
tools. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. 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.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, 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
23. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
24. Recharge only with the charger speci-
fi 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.
25. Use power tools only with specifi cally
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
26. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, 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.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
28. 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
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
2. 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.
3. Keep hands away from all cutting
edges and moving parts.
4. Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
5. 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 chemicallytreated 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 specifi cally designed to
fi lter out microscopic particles.

Using the Orbit Control Switch
The Sawzall HatchetTM orbit control switch
allows the tool to be operated in straight
reciprocating (non orbital) or orbital action.
Straight reciprocating action should be used
when a smooth cut is needed. Orbital action
is recommended for fast, aggressive cutting.
The type of reciprocating action should be
determined by the user for their specifi c
cutting requirements.
1. For straight reciprocating action, press

Orbit action may be adjusted when the
tool is running.
NOTE: If the blade is installed with the
teeth facing upward and orbital action
is selected, cutting performance is reduced.
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. Extend blade life
by using a solid blade cutting lubricant such
as MILWAUKEE Band Saw Blade Lubricant
Cat. No. 49-08-4206.
