GENERAL SAFETY RULES — FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide
barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
5. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for
the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
6. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated bat-
tery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
7. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
9. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off
position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the
switch on invites accidents.
10. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
11. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
12. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
13. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
14. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
15. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
16. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the
locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
17. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained per-
sons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
18. 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 sparks,
burns, or a fire.
19. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
20. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Do not use a damaged
tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
21. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufac-
turer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool
may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
22. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may
result in a risk of injury.
23. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Fol-
low instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
page 2
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a
replacement.
4. 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 filter out microscopic particles.

CHARGING AND USING BATTERY PACK
WARNING!
Charge only
Volt battery packs in chargers. Other types
of batteries may explode causing personal
injury and damage.
Charge your battery pack before using your tool for the first time and
when your tool no longer performs with the power and torque needed for
the job. Full loading capacity of battery pack is only reached after
4 - 5 chargings. Never completely discharge the battery pack. Standard
charging time will vary according to the type of charger you use. The
charging time will also vary depending on the supply voltage and charge
needed. For example, if your battery pack does not require a full charge,
charging time will be less.
FOR SPECIFIC CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE READ THE
CHARGER INSTRUCTION SHEET SUPPLIED WITH YOUR CHARGER.
Battery packs are affected by temperature. Your battery pack will
perform best and have longest life if it is charged when the temperature
is between 60°-80°F (15°-27°C). Do not charge in temperatures below
40°F (5°C) or above 105°F (40°C). Under these conditions, capacity will
be reduced. See “Maintenance”.

TOOL ASSEMBLY
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always lock trigger or
remove battery pack before changing or removing
accessories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
Selecting a Blade
The Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp can be used with all 1/2" shank universal
Sawzall® blades. Use
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
Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp (Fig. 2)
Remove battery pack before changing blades. Make sure the spindle and
blade clamp areas are clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the

Inserting a battery pack
1. Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted with the teeth facing up or down. To install a blade, twist collar in the direction of the
arrow while inserting the blade into the clamp until the tang butts
against the collar.
2. Release collar and the spring loaded mechanism will clamp the blade
firmly in place.
3. Twist collar in the opposite direction of the arrow to ensure that the
blade is locked into the clamp.
4. Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked in place.
5. To remove a blade, twist collar in the direction of the arrow while
®
pulling on the blade. Be careful when handling hot blades.
Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp Maintenance
• 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
Remove battery pack before removing blades. Broken blades can be removed by the following methods.
• Point the tool downward, twist the collar, and shake the tool up and
down (DO NOT turn the tool on while your fingers 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. Simply twist the collar 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 twisting
the collar and pull it out.

Trigger Lock Switch
Trigger Speed Control Switch
The SawzallTM is equipped with a trigger 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.
Symbols
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 firmly
and pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along your cutting line. Always hold
the shoe flat 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

of cycles when they are maintained and used according to these instructions.
A battery pack that is stored for six months without being used will discharge itself. Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. Charge
the battery every six months even if it is unused to maximize battery life.
Do not tape the trigger in the “ON” position and leave the tool unattended
as this may discharge the battery to a point where it will no longer be able
to recharge. Use a
forms with the power and torque needed for your application.
Store your battery pack in a cool, dry place. Do not store it where the
temperature may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in a vehicle or metal building during the summer. High temperatures will overheat the battery pack,
reducing battery life. If it is stored for several months, the battery pack
will gradually lose its charge. One to three cycles of charging and discharging through normal use will restore the capacity of the battery pack.
During the life of the battery pack, the operating time between charges
becomes shorter. If the operating time becomes extremely short after a
proper charge, the usable life of the battery pack has been reached and
it should be replaced.

Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents. Keep tool handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth
to clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain cleaning agents
and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of explosion, never
burn a battery pack even if it is damaged,
dead, or completely discharged.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES POUR TOUS LES OUTILS À BATTERIE
AVERTISSEMENT!
VOUS DEVEZ LIRE ET COMPRENDRE TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS.
Le non-respect, même partiel, des instructions ci-après entraîne un risque de choc
électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessures graves.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
AIRE DE TRAVAIL
1. Veillez à ce que l'aire de travail soit propre et bien éclairée. Le
désordre et le manque de lumière favorisent les accidents.
2. N'utilisez pas d'outils électriques dans une atmosphère explo-
sive, par exemple en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de
poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques créent des
étincelles qui pourraient enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
3. Tenez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs pendant
que vous travaillez avec un outil électrique. Ils pourraient vous
distraire et vous faire faire une fausse manoeuvre. Installez des
barrières ou des écrans protecteurs si nécessaires.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
4. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne transportez pas l'outil par son
cordon. N'exposez pas le cordon à la chaleur, à des huiles, à
des arêtes vives ou à des pièces en mouvement. Remplacez
immédiatement un cordon endommagé. Un cordon endommagé
peut constituer un risque d'incendie.
5. Un outil à bloc-batterie amovible ou à batterie intégrée ne doit
être rechargé qu'avec le chargeur prévu pour la batterie. Un
chargeur qui convient à tel type de batterie peut présenter un risque
d'incendie avec tel autre type de batterie.
6. N'utilisez un outil qu'avec un bloc-batterie conçu spécifiquement
pour lui. L'emploi d'un autre bloc-batterie peut créer un risque
d'incendie.
SÉCURITÉ DES PERSONNES
7. Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre travail et faites preuve
de jugement. N'utilisez pas un outil électrique si vous êtes fatigué
ou sous l'influence de drogues, d'alcool ou de médicaments. Un
instant d'inattention suffit pour entraîner des blessures graves.
8. Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni vêtements flottants
ni bijoux. Confinez les cheveux longs. N'approchez jamais les
cheveux, les vêtements ou les gants des pièces en mouvement.
Des vêtements flottants, des bijoux ou des cheveux longs risquent
d'être happés par des pièces en mouvement.
9. Méfiez-vous d'un démarrage accidentel. Avant d'insérer un
bloc-batterie, assurez-vous que l'interrupteur de l'outil est sur
ARRÊT. Le fait de transporter un outil avec le doigt sur la détente ou
d'insérer un bloc-batterie alors que l'interrupteur est en position
MARCHE peut mener tout droit à un accident.
10. Enlevez les clés de réglage ou de serrage avant de démarrer
l'outil. Une clé laissée dans une pièce tournante de l'outil peut
provoquer des blessures.
11. Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un bon appui et
restez en équilibre en tout temps. Un bonne stabilité vous permet
de mieux réagir à une situation inattendue.
12. Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez toujours des lunettes
ou une visière. Selon les conditions, portez aussi un masque
antipoussière, des bottes de sécurité antidérapantes, un casque
protecteur et/ou un appareil antibruit.
13. Immobilisez le matériau sur une surface stable au moyen
debrides ou de toute autre façon adéquate. Le fait de tenir la pièce
avec la main ou contre votre corps offre une stabilité insuffisante et
peut amener un dérapage de l'outil.
UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS
14. Ne forcez pas l'outil. Utilisez l'outil approprié à la tâche. L'outil
correct fonctionne mieux et de façon plus sécuritaire. Respectez aussi
la vitesse de travail qui lui est propre.
15. N'utilisez pas un outil si son interrupteur est bloqué. Un outil que
vous ne pouvez pas commander par son interrupteur est dangereux
et doit être réparé.
16. Retirez le bloc-batterie ou mettez l'interrupteur sur ARRÊT ou
en position verrouillée avant d'effectuer un réglage, de changer
d'accessoire ou de ranger l'outil. De telles mesures préventives
réduisent le risque de démarrage accidentel de l'outil.
17. Rangez les outils hors de la portée des enfants et d'autres
personnes inexpérimentées. Les outils sont dangereux dans les
mains d'utilisateurs novices.
18. Lorsque le bloc-batterie n'est pas en service, tenez-le à l'écart
d'autres objets métalliques (trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés,
clous, vis, etc.) susceptibles d'établir un contact électrique entre les deux bornes. La mise en court-circuit des bornes de la batterie
peut produire des étincelles et constitue un risque de brûlures ou
d'incendie.
19. Prenez soin de bien entretenir les outils. Les outils de coupe
doivent être toujours bien affûtés et propres. Des outils bien
entretenus, dont les arêtes sont bien tranchantes, sont moins
susceptibles de coincer et plus faciles à diriger.
20. Soyez attentif à tout désalignement ou coincement des pièces
en mouvement, à tout bris ou à toute autre condition préjudiciable
au bon fonctionnement de l'outil. Si vous constatez qu'un outil
est endommagé, faites-le réparer avant de vous en servir. De
nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils en mauvais état. Fixezy une étiquette marquée « Hors d'usage » jusqu'à ce qu'il soit réparé.
21. N'utilisez que des accessoires que le fabricant recommande pour
votre modèle d'outil. Certains accessoires peuvent convenir à un
outil, mais être dangereux avec un autre.
RÉPARATION
22. La réparation des outils électriques doit être confiée à un
réparateur qualifié. L'entretien ou la réparation d'un outil électrique
par un amateur peut avoir des conséquences graves.
23. Pour la réparation d'un outil, n'employez que des pièces de
rechange d'origine. Suivez les directives données à la section «
Réparation » de ce manuel. L'emploi de pièces non autorisées ou
le non-respect des instructions d'entretien peut créer un risque de
choc électrique ou de blessures.
