manship for a period of fi ve (5) years* after the date of purchase. Return the electric power tool and a copy of proof of
purchase to a
MILWAUKEE
factory Service/Sales Support Branch location or
MILWAUKEE
Authorized Service Station,
freight prepaid and insured, are requested for this warranty to be effective. This warranty does not apply to damage
that
MILWAUKEE

WARNING
To reduce the risk of explo-
sion, electric shock and property damage,
always check the work area for hidden gas
pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when
making blind or plunge cuts.
Plunge Cutting
Your
MILWAUKEE
Sawzall
®
is ideal for plunge
cutting directly into surfaces that can not be cut
from an edge, such as walls or fl oors. Plunge cut-
ting may be done two ways depending on how the
blade is inserted. Column A shows how to plunge
cut with the teeth of the blade facing downward.
Column B shows how to plunge cut with the teeth
of the blade facing upward. Do not plunge cut into
metal surfaces (see "Cutting Metals").
1. Insert the blade into the tool.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing
downward, hold the tool as shown in Column A,
resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing
upward, hold the tool as shown in Column B,
resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
2. With the blade just above the workpiece, pull the
trigger. Using the edge of the shoe as a pivot,
lower the blade into the workpiece as shown.
3. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly until the shoe rests fi rmly on the
workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cut-
ting line to acquire the desired cut.
NOTE:
To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy
gauge blade and install the blade with the teeth
facing upward as shown in Column B.
• Lubrication
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger,
motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and
electrical operation
If the tool does not start or operate at full power
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts
on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
to a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for repairs.
