Plunge Cutting (Fig. 6)
Your MILWAUKEE Sawzall ®
is ideal for plunge cutting directly into sur-
faces 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
downward. (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 work-
piece.
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 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.
To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and
property damage, always check the work area for
hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water pipes
when making blind or plunge cuts.

WARNING!
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
always unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool
before performing any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool, battery pack or
charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a
regular maintenance program. After six months to one year, depending
on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE ser-
vice facility for:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles,
bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged
battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does
not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
Maintaining Battery Pack
MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds
of cycles when they are maintained and used according to these instruc-
tions.
A battery pack that is stored for six months without being used will dis-
charge itself. Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. Charge
the battery every six months even if it is unused to maximize battery life.
Do not tape the trigger in the "ON" position and leave the tool unattended
as this may discharge the battery to a point where it will no longer be able
to recharge. Use a MILWAUKEE battery pack only until it no longer per-
forms with the power and torque needed for your application.
Store your battery pack in a cool, dry place. Do not store it where the
temperature may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in a vehicle or metal build-
ing during the summer. High temperatures will overheat the battery pack,
reducing battery life. If it is stored for several months, the battery pack
will gradually lose its charge. One to three cycles of charging and dis-
charging through normal use will restore the capacity of the battery pack.
During the life of the battery pack, the operating time between charges
becomes shorter. If the operating time becomes extremely short after a
proper charge, the usable life of the battery pack has been reached and
it should be replaced.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to
flow inside them.
