Blade Clamp
(Accessory 49-22-5016)
1. Unplug the tool before changing blades.
2. Be sure the spindle and blade clamp area are
clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the
blade clamp screw from clamping securely.
3. To install a blade, loosen the blade clamp screw,
turning it counterclockwise. Insert the blade until
the tang butts against the spindle.
NOTE: The blade must be inserted all the way
into the spindle so that the tang on the blade seats
firmly in the blade clamp.
Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted
with the teeth facing upward or downward.
4. Insert the hex key into the blade clamp screw,
turning it clockwise. Tighten securely.
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.
Do not operate Sawzall without a
WARNING
shoe. Striking the spindle against
the work may damage the reciprocating mecha-
nism.
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.

OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Always unplug tool before attaching or removing
accessories or making adjustments. Use only
specifically recommended accessories. Others
may be hazardous.
Impact Protection System
Select models are equipped with a unique pat-
ented gearing system that provides efficient 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.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull
the trigger.
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.
Trigger Speed Control Switch
MILWAUKEE Sawzalls
speed control switch. It may be operated at any
speed from zero strokes per minute to full speed. Al-
ways 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.
General Cutting
For straight or contour cutting from an edge, line
the blade up with your cutting line. Before the blade
contacts the workpiece, grasp the handle firmly and
pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along your cutting
line. Always hold the shoe flat against the workpiece
to avoid excessive vibration.
Cutting Metals
Begin cutting at a slow speed, gradually increasing
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
ting directly into surfaces that can not be cut from
an edge, such as walls or floors. 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. Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces (see "Cut-
ting 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 up-
ward, hold the tool as shown in Column B, resting
the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
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 and install the blade with the teeth
facing upward as shown in Column B.
