tery pack.
Inserting Battery Pack into Tool
Battery pack can be inserted into the tool in two
ways.
1. For working in restricted spaces, insert the bat-
tery pack from the front by pressing in the release
buttons and sliding battery pack into the body
of the tool. Insert the battery pack until clamp
engages.

pack until clamp engages.
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 will not extend
beyond the shoe throughout the stroke.
For best performance and longest life, see "Acces-
sories" to select the best blade for the job.
Installing and Removing Blades
®
Quik-Lok Blade Clamp
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Be sure the spindle and blade clamp areas are
clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the
Quik-Lok ® Blade Clamp from clamping securely
(see "Maintenance").
ASSEMBLY
3. To install a blade, twist the collar in the direction
of the arrow while inserting the blade into the
clamp until the tang butts against the collar.
Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted
with the teeth facing upward or downward.
Fig. 1
4. Release the collar and the spring loaded mecha-
nism will clamp the blade fi rmly in place.
5. Twist the collar in the opposite direction of the
arrow to ensure that the blade is locked into the
clamp.
6. Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked
in place.
7. To remove a blade, twist the collar in the direc-
tion of the arrow while pulling on the blade. Be
careful when handling hot blades.
Removing Broken Blades from the Quik-Lok
Blade Clamp
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Broken blades can be removed by the following
methods.
• Point the tool downward, twist the collar, and
shake the tool up and down (DO NOT turn on
®
the tool 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.
• 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.
