• Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces, when performing an operation where the

cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”

and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body

leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry

important information. If unreadable or missing,

contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free

replacement.

• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to cause can-

cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well

ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING Recharge only with the

charger specified for the battery. For spe-

ciﬁ c charging instructions, read the operator’s

manual supplied with your charger and battery.

Removing Battery Pack from Tool

Push in the release buttons and pull the battery

pack away from the tool.

Inserting Battery Pack into Tool

To insert the battery pack onto the tool, slide the

pack onto the body of the tool. Make sure it latches

securely into place.

Selecting a Blade

The Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp can be used with

all 1/2" shank universal Sawzall® blades. Use

MILWAUKEE High Performance Super Sawzall®

blades for best performance. When selecting 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. Do not use blades

less than 3-1/2" long since they won't extend

beyond the shoe throughout the stroke.

For best performance and longest life, see “Acces-

sories” to select the best blade for the job.

Installing and Removing Blades from the Quik-

Lok® Blade Clamp

Remove battery pack before changing blades.

Make sure the spindle and blade clamp areas are

clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the

Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp from clamping securely.

1. Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted

with the teeth facing up or down. To install a blade,

twist collar in the direction of the arrow while

inserting the blade into the clamp until the tang

butts against the collar.

WARNING Always remove battery

pack before changing or removing ac-

cessories. Only use accessories speciﬁ cally

recommended for this tool. Others may be

hazardous.

Use only MILWAUKEE M28™ or V28® battery packs.

OPERATION

WARNING Alwa

ys remo

ve battery-

pack before changing or removing acces-

sories. Only use accessories specifically

recommended for this tool. Others may be

zardous.

1/4 Turn

Release collar and the

spring loaded mechanism

will clamp the blade ﬁ rmly

in place.

3. Twist collar in the opposite

direction of the arrow to

ensure that the blade is locked into the clamp.

4. Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked

in place.

5. To remove a blade, twist collar in the direction of

the arrow while pulling on the blade. Be careful

when handling hot blades.

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

Broken blades can be removed by the following

methods.

• Remove battery pack before removing blades.

• Point the tool downward, twist the collar, and

shake the tool up and down (DO NOT turn the tool

on while your ﬁ ngers 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.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

keep hands away from the blade and all

moving parts. Always wear safety goggles or

glasses with side shields.

High/Low/Trigger Lock Switch

To set the maximum speed or lock the trig-

ger, move the high/low/trigger lock switch

to the following positions:

For low speed (Maximum 2000 RPM):

Move the switch to the left." 1 " will be

displayed above the switch. To vary the

speed up to 2000 RPM, increase or de-

crease pressure on the trigger. Low speed

is generally used for cutting metals.

For high speed (Maximum 3000 RPM):

Move the switch to the right. " 2" will be

displayed above the switch. To vary the

speed up to 3000 RPM, increase or de-

crease pressure on the trigger.

WARNING To reduce the risk of

injury, blades

must extend

beyond the shoe

and workpiece

throughout the

stroke. Blades

may shatter if they impact the workpiece or shoe.

• 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.

Adjusting the Pivot Shoe

The shoe can be adjusted forward or backward to

six positions to take advantage of the unused por-

tion of the blade or for special jobs requiring low

blade clearance.

1. To adjust the shoe, pull the

shoe release lever down

1/4 turn and slide the shoe

forward or backward to the

desired position.

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 workpiece throughout the stroke.

DO NOT OPERATE SAWZALL WITHOUT SHOE.

STRIKING THE SPINDLE AGAINST WORKPIECE

MAY DAMAGE THE TOOL.

To lock the trigger: Move the switch to the

center. " " will be displayed above the

switch. The trigger will not work while the

switch is in the locked position. Always lock

the trigger and remove the battery pack be-

fore performing maintenance and changing

accessories. Lock the trigger when storing

the tool and when the tool is not in use.

terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a ﬁ re.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-

ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

WARNING To reduce the risk of per-

sonal injury, always hold tool securely.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed

1. To start the tool, grasp the handle ﬁ rmly and pull

the trigger.

2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the

pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger

is pulled, the greater the speed. The maximum

RPM is determined by the high/low/trigger lock

switch.

3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure

the blade comes to a complete stop before re-

moving the blade from a partial cut or laying the

tool down.

Electric Brake

The electric brake engages when the trigger is

released, causing the blade to stop and allowing

you to proceed with your work. Generally, the saw
