Removing broken blades from the
Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp
Broken blades can be removed by the following
methods.
• Remove battery pack before removing blades.
• Point the tool downward, slide up and hold the
release lever, and shake the tool up and down
(
DO NOT
turn the tool on while your fingers 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. Slide up and hold
the release lever, 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 holding up
the release lever, and pull it out.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, be sure
the blade always extends beyond
the shoe and workpiece throughout the stroke.
Blades may shatter if they impact the workpiece
or shoe.

Selecting a Blade
The Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp can be used with all 1/2"
shank universal Sawzall
®
blades. Use MILWAUKEE
Sawzall
®
blades for best performance. When select
-
ing a blade, choose the right type and length. Many
types of blades are available for a variety of appli-
cations: 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 won't extend beyond
the shoe throughout the stroke.
