Removing and Replacing Quik-Lok®Cords (Fig. 1) (Select Models)

MILWAUKEE's exclusive Quik-Lok®Cords provide instant field replace- ment or substitution.

Removing Broken Blades from the Quik-Lok®Blade Clamp

1.Unplug the tool.

2.Broken blades can be removed by the following methods.

•Point the tool downward, twist the collar, and shake the tool up and down (DO NOT turn on the tool 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. Twist the collar and pull the broken blade out of the clamp by this corner.

Selecting a Blade

Use MILWAUKEE Sawzall® Blades for best performance. When select- ing 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. For best perfor- mance and longest life, see "Accessories" to select the best blade for the job.

5.To remove a blade, insert hex key into the blade clamp screw and turn it counterclockwise 1 full turn. Then slide the blade out of the spindle. Be careful when handling hot blades.
