Starting, Stopping and Controlling
Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle
firmly and pull the trigger.
2. To vary the speed, increase or de-
crease the pressure on the trigger. The
further the trigger is pulled, the greater
the speed. The maximum RPM is de-
termined by the high/low/trigger lock
switch.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Make sure the blade comes to a com-
plete stop before removing the blade
from a partial cut or laying the tool
down.
Electric Brake
The electric brake engages when the trig-
ger 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.
Occasionally the brake may miss com-
pletely. If the brake misses frequently, the
saw needs servicing by an authorized
MILWAUKEE service facility. You must al-
ways wait for the blade to stop completely
before removing the saw from the work-
piece.
V28™ Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-
Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power
for their entire run time. The tool will not
experience a slow, gradual loss of power
as you work. To signal to you that the V28
battery pack is at the end of its run time
and needs to be charged, power to the
tool will drop quickly. When this happens,
remove the tool from the workpiece and
charge the battery pack as needed.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend
its life, the V28 ™battery pack's intelligent
circuit will turn off the battery pack if its
internal temperature becomes too high. This
could happen in extremely high torque, bind-
ing and stalling situations. The pack must
be placed on the charger to turn it back on.
The charger's light indicator will flash red,
indicating that the pack is too hot. Once the
light is continuously red, the pack has
cooled and can be used again.
Cold Weather Operation
The V28 ™Lithium-Ion battery pack can be
used in temperatures down to -4°F. When
the battery pack is very cold, it may pulse
for the first minute of use to warm itself
up. Put the battery pack on a tool and use
the tool in a light application. After about a
minute, the pack will have warmed itself
up and operate normally.
General Cutting
For straight or contour cutting from an
edge, line the blade up with your cutting
line. Before the blade contacts the work-
piece, 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.

Plunge Cutting (Fig. 6)
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.
Your MILWAUKEE Sawzall ® is ideal for
plunge cutting 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 in-
serted. Column A shows how to plunge
cut with the teeth of the blade facing down-
ward. (When attempting to plunge cut in
this manner, shoe must be moved all the
way out, as shown.) Column B shows how
to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade
facing upward. 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.
2. With the blade just above the work-
piece, 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.
