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 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. Slide up and

hold the release lever, and pull the broken blade

out of the clamp by this corner.

OPERATION

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, keep hands away from the blade and other moving parts. Always wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Use only specifi- cally recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

Trigger Lock

To lock the trigger, push the trigger lock to the cen- ter. 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.

WARNING Recharge only with the charger specified for the battery. For specific charging instructions, read the operator’s manual supplied with your charger and battery. This tool is not compatible with V™- technology or NiCd systems.

Inserting/Removing Battery Pack

Insert the battery pack by sliding battery pack into the body of the tool. Insert the battery pack until the battery latches lock.

To remove the battery pack, press in both battery latches and slide the battery pack off of the tool.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always remove battery pack before changing or removing accessories. Only use accesso- ries 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 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 your MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog or go online to www.milwaukeetool.com to select the best blade for the job.

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 firmly 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.

Quik-Lok®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.

• 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).

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed

1.To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly 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 removing 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 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 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.
