WARNING To 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
Your MILWAUKEE Sawzall® is ideal for plunge cutting directly into surfaces that can not be cut from an edge, such as walls or floors. Plunge cut- ting 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").
3.As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of the tool slowly until the shoe rests firmly on the workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cut- ting 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 Column B.
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.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and char- ger to the nearest service center listed on the back cover of this operator's manual.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING Always remove battery pack before changing or removing acces- sories. Only use accessories specifically recommended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.

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 upward, 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.
