Adjusting the Pivot Shoe
The shoe can be adjusted forward or backward to
eight positions to take advantage of the unused por-
tion of the blade or for special jobs requiring low blade
clearance.
1. To adjust the shoe, rotate
the shoe release lever
toward the front of the tool
and slide the shoe forward
or backward to the desired
position.
2. To lock the shoe in position,
push the shoe release lever up.
3. After adjusting the shoe, slowly pull the trigger to be
sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and
your workpiece throughout the stroke.
DO NOT OPERATE SAWZALL

WITHOUT SHOE.
STRIKING THE SPINDLE AGAINST WORKPIECE
MAY DAMAGE THE TOOL.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.

The speed control dial con-
trols the maximum strokes per
minute. The speed will remain
variable to the chosen dial
setting by use of the trigger
switch. Refer to the chart for
recommended dial settings.
*These are only suggested settings;
the actual optimal setting may vary
depending on line voltage, blade
selected and user preference.
Trigger Lock
T
o lock the trigger, push the trigger lock from the
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 performing main-
tenance and changing accessories. Lock the trigger
when storing the tool and when the tool is not in use.
To unlock the trigger, push the trigger lock from the
side of the tool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury, always hold tool securely.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1.
To start the tool, grasp the handle(s) rmly and
pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled
and will go o shortly after the trigger is released.
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pres-
sure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled,
the greater the speed, up to the speed set by the
speed dial.
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.
Orbit Control Switch
This Sawzalls
®
is equipped with an orbit control
switch. The tool may be operated with straight re-
ciprocating (non orbital) or orbital action. Straight
reciprocating action should be used when a
smooth cut is needed. Orbital action is recom-
mended for fast, aggressive cutting. The op-
timal orbital action should be determined by
the user for their specific cutting requirements.
1. For straight reciprocating action, move the orbit
control switch to the straight cut symbol
.
2. For orbital action, move the orbit control switch
towards the orbital cut symbol .
The amount of orbital action may be adjusted by
moving the orbital control switch to any position
between the two symbols. For larger orbital action,
move the orbit control switch closer to the orbital cut
symbol . For smaller orbital action, move the orbit
control switch closer to the straight cut symbol .
Orbital action may be adjusted when the tool is
running.
NOTE: Orbital action will not operate if the blade is
installed upside down.
Electric Brake
The electric brake engages when the trigger is re-
leased, 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 completely. If the brake misses frequently, the
saw needs servicing by an authorized MILWAUKEE
service facility. Always wait for the blade to stop com-
pletely 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 rmly and
pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along your cutting
line. Always hold the shoe at 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.
