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 your
MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog or go online to
www.milwaukeetool.com to select the best blade
for the job.
ASSEMBLY
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, slide the release lever up. Insert the blade
into the clamp until the tang butts against the
collar.

2. Release the lever and the spring loaded mecha-
nism will clamp the blade fi rmly in place.
3. Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked
in place.

4. To remove a blade, slide the release lever up
and pull the blade from the tool. 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, slide the release lever back
and forth to shake debris loose.
• Periodically lubricate Quik-Lok
with a dry lubricant such as graphite.

Removing broken blades from the Quik-Lok
Blade Clamp
Broken blades can be removed by the following
3
methods.
2 • Remove battery pack before removing blades.
• Point the tool downward, slide up and hold the
1
release lever, 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. Slide up and
hold the release lever, 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
holding up the release lever, 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 work-
piece or shoe (Fig. 2).

WARNING
keep hands away from the blade and other
moving parts. Always wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields. Use only specifi -
cally recommended accessories. Others may
be hazardous.
Trigger Lock
To lock the trigger, push the trigger lock to the cen-
ter. The trigger will not work while the switch is in the
locked position. Always lock the trigger and remove
the battery pack before performing maintenance and
changing accessories. Lock the trigger when storing
the tool and when the tool is not in use.

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
To reduce the risk of injury,
is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure
the blade comes to a complete stop before
removing 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
blade stops within two seconds. However, there
may be a delay between the time you release the
trigger and when the brake engages. Occasion-
ally the brake may miss completely. If the brake
misses frequently, the saw needs servicing by an
authorized MILWAUKEE service facility. You must
always wait for the blade to stop completely before
removing the saw from the workpiece.
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 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 increas-
ing 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.
