Milwaukee 6536-21, 6523-21 manual Operation

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

Unplug the tool before removing blades. Broken blades can be removed by the following methods.

•Point the tool downward, twist the col- lar, 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.

WARNING!

Do not operate the Sawzall® with the handle rotation button pressed in or with the handle not locked into position.

Rotating the Handle (Fig. 5) (Cat. No. 6523-21)

The 6523-21 Orbital Super Sawzall® handle can rotate continuously in either direction, allowing the user to achieve optimal cutting positions and comfort. The handle can be locked into one of eight (8) detent positions, one at every 45° angle.

To rotate the handle:

2.To stop the tool, release the trigger. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from a partial cut or laying the tool down.

Orbit Control Switch (Fig. 6)

The Orbital Super Sawzall® 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 cutting. The optimal orbital action should be determined by the user for their specific cutting requirements.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.

Adjustable Pivot Shoe (Fig. 3)

The shoe can be adjusted forward or back- ward to six positions to take advantage of the unused portion of the blade or for spe- cial jobs requiring low blade clearance.

DO NOT OPERATE SAWZALL WITHOUT SHOE . STRIKING THE SPINDLE AGAINST WORK MAY DAMAGE THE RECIPROCATING MECHANISM.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if they impact the work or shoe (Fig. 4).

2.To lock the shoe in position, push the shoe release lever up.

3.After adjusting the shoe, slowly pull the trigger to be sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and your work throughout the stroke.

Both models are equipped with a unique patented gearing system that provides ef- ficient power transmission and extended life in the most difficult cutting applications. This durable system will absorb impacts, blade lock ups, and motor stalls. These models can be used for extreme cutting applications such as large diameter pipe, thick metal, pallets, and heavy demolition and renovation work as well as for general purpose cutting.

Orbital action may be adjusted when the tool is running.

NOTE: Orbital action will not operate if the blade is installed upside down.
