Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required. If
you are using one extension cord for more than one
tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum
to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffi x “W-A” (“W” in Canada)
to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualifi ed person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug tool before attach-
ing or removing accessories or making adjust-
ments. Use only specifi cally recommended
accessories. Others may be hazardous.

Selecting a Blade
Use MILWAUKEE Sawzall
®
Blades for best perfor-
mance. When selecting a blade, choose the right
type and length.
Many types of blades are available for a vari-
ety 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.
Installing and Removing Blades
Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp
1. Unplug the tool.
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").
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.
Removing Broken Blades from the Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp
1. Unplug the tool.
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.
Blade Clamp (Accessory 49-22-5016)
1. Unplug the tool before changing blades.
2. Be sure the spindle and blade clamp area are
clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the
blade clamp screw from clamping securely.
3. To install a blade, loosen the blade clamp screw,
turning it counterclockwise. Insert the blade until
the tang butts against the spindle.
NOTE: The blade must be inserted all the way
into the spindle so that the tang on the blade
seats fi rmly in the blade clamp.
Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted
with the teeth facing upward or downward.
4. Insert the hex key into the blade clamp screw,
turning it clockwise. Tighten securely.
5. To remove a blade, insert hex key into the blade
clamp screw and turn it counterclockwise 1 full
turn. Then slide the blade out of the spindle. Be
careful when handling hot blades.

WARNING
Do not operate Sawzall
without a shoe. Striking the spindle
against the work may damage the reciprocat-
ing mechanism.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
be sure the blade always extends beyond the
shoe and work throughout the stroke. Blades
may shatter if they impact the work or shoe.

Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted
with the teeth facing upward or downward.
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.
