Blade Clamp Maintenance
WARNING
•
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 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.

The Quik-Lok
TM
Blade Clamp can be used with all
13 mm (1/2") shank universal SAWZALL
TM
reciprocating saw blades. Use
MILWAUKEE
®
SAWZALL
TM
reciprocating saw blades for best
performance. When selecting a blade, choose the
right type and length. Many types of blades are
available for a variety 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 the
work throughout the stroke. Do not use blades less
than 102 mm (4") long since they won't extend
beyond the shoe throughout the stroke.
Remove battery pack before changing blades.
Make sure the spindle and blade clamp areas are
clean. Metal chips and sawdust may prevent the
Quik-Lok
TM
Blade Clamp from clamping securely.
To reduce the risk of injury,
always wear proper eye
protection marked to comply with
AS/NZS 1337.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use a
suitable dust extraction solution.
Periodically lubricate Quik-Lok
TM
Blade Clamp with
a dry lubricant such as graphite according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Periodically clean dust and debris from the
Quik-Lok
TM
Blade Clamp with dry compressed air.
