• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals 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.
SERVICE
• 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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• 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
cancer, 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 spe-
cially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

Selecting a Blade
The Quik-Lok ® Blade Clamp can be used with
all 1/2" shank universal Hackzall
blades. Use MILWAUKEE blades for best perfor-
mance. 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 your

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
a dry lubricant such as graphite.
Removing broken blades from the Quik-Lok
Blade Clamp
Broken blades can be removed by the following:
• 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.
® and Sawzall ®
• 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.
WARNING
be sure the blade always extends beyond
the shoe and workpiece throughout the
stroke. Blades may shatter if they impact the
workpiece or shoe).
