Using the Orbit Control Switch
TM
The Sawzall Hatchet orbit control switch
allows the tool to be operated in 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 type of reciprocating action should be
determined by the user for their specifi c
cutting requirements.

1. For straight reciprocating action, press
in the orbit control switch and slide the
switch so the straight action symbol
is shown.
2. For orbital action, press in the orbit
control switch and slide the switch so the
orbital action symbol is shown.
Orbit action may be adjusted when the
tool is running.
NOTE: If the blade is installed with the
teeth facing upward and orbital action
is selected, cutting performance is re-
duced.
General Cutting
For straight or contour cutting from an edge,
line the blade up with your cutting line. Be-
fore the blade contacts the workpiece, grasp
the handle fi rmly and pull the trigger. Then
guide the tool along your cutting line. Always
hold the shoe fl at against the workpiece to
avoid excessive vibration.
Cutting Metals
Begin cutting at a slow speed, gradually in-
creasing 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. Extend blade life
by using a solid blade cutting lubricant such
as MILWAUKEE Band Saw Blade Lubricant
Cat. No. 49-08-4206.

Plunge Cutting
Your MILWAUKEE Sawzall ® is ideal for
plunge cutting directly into surfaces that can
not be cut from an edge, such as walls or
fl oors. Plunge cutting may be done two ways
depending on how the blade is inserted.
Column A shows how to plunge cut with the
teeth of the blade facing down. Column B
shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of
the blade facing up.
NOTE: If the blade is installed with the teeth
facing upward and orbital action is selected,
cutting performance is reduced.
Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces (see
"Cutting Metals").

1. Insert the blade into the tool.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth
facing downward, hold the tool as shown
in Column A, resting the edge of the
shoe on the workpiece.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth
facing upward, hold the tool as shown in
Column B, resting the edge of the shoe
on the workpiece as shown.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explosion,
electric shock and property dam-
age, always check the work area for
hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or
water pipes when making blind or
plunge cuts.

2. With the blade just above the workpiece,
pull the trigger. Using the edge of the
shoe as a pivot, lower the blade into the
workpiece as shown.
3. As the blade starts cutting, raise the
handle of the tool slowly until the shoe
rests firmly on the workpiece. Then
guide the tool along your cutting line to
acquire the desired cut.
NOTE: To make plunge cutting easier,
use a heavy gauge blade.
