SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, 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-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
tions, illustrations and specica-
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL 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. Unmodied 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 ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI 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 inuence 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 a 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 o-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on
the switch or energizing 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
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
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 o. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may aect 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 dierent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.

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 re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specied
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
SAWZALL
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting ac-
cessory 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 workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
erable amount of dust, use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution in accordance with the
solution’s operating instructions.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.

blade comes to a complete stop before removing
the blade from a partial cut or laying the tool down.
This Sawzalls® is equipped with an orbit control switch.
The tool may be operated with 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 cut-
ting. The optimal orbital action should be determined
by the user for their specic cutting requirements.
1. For straight reciprocating action, move the orbit
control switch to the straight cut symbol .
2. For orbital action, move the orbit control switch towards the orbital cut symbol .
The amount of orbital action may be adjusted by mov-
ing the orbital control switch to any position between
the two symbols. For larger orbital action, move the
orbit control switch closer to the orbital cut symbol
. For smaller orbital action, move the orbit control switch
closer to the straight cut symbol .
Orbital action may be adjusted when the tool is running.

Trigger Lock
To reduce the risk of personal injury, always hold tool securely.
Orbit Control Switch
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. Occasionally the brake may
miss completely. If the brake misses frequently, the
saw needs servicing by an authorized MILWAUKEE
service facility. Always wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the saw from the workpiece.
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 rmly and
pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along your cutting
line. Always hold the shoe at against the workpiece
to avoid excessive vibration.
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.

General Cutting
Cutting Metals
To reduce the risk of explosion,
electric shock and property damage, always check the work area for hidden gas
pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when mak-
ing blind or plunge cuts.
This MILWAUKEE Sawzall® is ideal for plunge cutting directly into surfaces that can not be cut from
an edge, such as walls or 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 up-
ward, 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 rmly on the
workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cutting
line to acquire the desired cut.
