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.
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 Hackzall® is ideal for plunge cut- ting directly into surfaces that can not be cut from an edge, such as walls or floors. Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces (see "Cutting Metals").
MAINTENANCE
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the bat- tery pack from the charger or tool before per- forming any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
