side of the tool. The trigger will not work while
the switch is in the locked position. Always lock the
trigger and remove the battery pack before perform-
ing maintenance and changing accessories. Lock
the trigger when storing the tool and when the tool

sonal injury, always hold tool securely.
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 decrease the
pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger
is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure
the blade comes to a complete stop before re-
moving 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 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.
Always remove battery

sion, 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.
Plunge Cutting
Your MILWAUKEE Sawzall
ting 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
inserted. Column A shows how to plunge cut with
the teeth of the blade facing downward. 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.
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.
