Selecting a Blade
The Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp can be used with
all 1/2" shank universal Sawzall
®
blades. Use
MILWAUKEE
High Performance Super Sawzall
®
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 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.
For best performance and longest life, see “Acces-
sories” to select the best blade for the job.
Installing and Removing Blades from the Quik-
Lok
®
Blade Clamp
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
®
Blade Clamp from clamping securely.

• 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.

with the teeth facing up or down. To install a
blade, twist collar in the direction of the arrow
while inserting the blade into the clamp until the
tang butts against the collar.
2. Release collar and the spring loaded mechanism
will clamp the blade fi rmly in place.
3. Twist collar in the opposite direction of the ar-
row to ensure that the blade is locked into the
clamp.
4. Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked
in place.

Blade Clamp Maintenance
• Periodically clean dust and debris from the Quik-
Lok
®
Blade Clamp with dry compressed air.
• If the collar resists twisting, twist the collar back
and forth to shake debris loose.
• Periodically lubricate Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp
with a dry lubricant such as graphite.
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, twist the collar, and
shake the tool up and down (
DO NOT
turn the
tool on while your fi ngers are holding the blade
clamp open). The shank of the broken blade
should drop out of the clamp.
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 (Fig. 3).
The shoe can be adjusted forward or backward
to six positions to take advantage of the unused
portion of the blade or for special jobs requiring
low blade clearance.
1. To adjust the shoe, pull the shoe release lever
down 1/4 turn and slide the shoe forward or
backward to the desired position.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of in-
jury, keep hands away from the blade and all
moving parts. Always wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields.
WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing acces-
sories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
