Removing broken blades from the Quik- Lok® Blade Clamp
•Remove battery pack before removing blades.
•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 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 twist- ing the collar and pull it out.
Adjusting the Pivot Shoe
The shoe can be adjusted forward or back- ward to six positions to take advantage of the unused portion of the blade or for special jobs requiring low blade clearance.
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. 2).

Impact Protection System
This model is equipped with a unique pat- ented gearing system that provides efficient power transmission and extended life in the most difficult cutting applications. This du- rable system will absorb impacts, blade lock ups, and motor stalls. This model 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.

Trigger Speed Control Switch
The SawzallTM is equipped with a trigger speed control switch. It may be operated at any speed from zero strokes per minute to full speed. Always start tool before blade contacts the workpiece. To vary the speed, simply increase or decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed. To stop the tool, re- lease the trigger and allow the tool to stop completely before removing from a partial cut or before laying the tool down.
Locking the Trigger
