OPERATION
Impact Protection System
Select models are equipped with a unique patented gearing
system that provides efficient power transmission and extend-
ed life in the most difficult cutting applications. This durable
system will absorb impacts, blade lock ups, and motor stalls.
These models can be used for extreme cutting applications
such as large diameter pipe, thick metal, pallets, and heavy
demolition and renovation work as well as for general pur-
pose cutting.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trig-
ger.
2. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Allow the tool to come
to a complete stop before removing the blade from a partial
cut or laying the tool down.
Selecting the Speed Range
The speed control dial controls the maximum strokes per
minute. The speed will remain variable to the chosen dial set-
ting by use of the trigger switch. Refer to the chart for recom-
mended dial settings

* These are only suggested settings; the actual optimum set-

user preference.
Trigger Speed Control Switch
Super Sawzalls® are equipped with a trigger speed control
switch. It may be operated at any speed from zero strokes per
minute to full speed. Always start tool before blade contacts
the workpiece. To vary the speed, simply increase or decrease

the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled,
the greater the speed. To stop the tool, release the trigger and
allow the tool to stop completely before removing from a
partial cut or before laying the tool down.
General Cutting
For straight or contour cutting from an edge, line the blade up
with your cutting line. Before the blade contacts the work-
piece, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger. Then
guide the tool along your cutting line. Always hold the shoe
flat against the workpiece to avoid excessive vibration.
Cutting Metals
Begin cutting at a slow speed, gradually increasing speed as
you cut. When cutting into metals or hard materials that can
not be cut from an edge, drill a starting hole larger than the
widest part of the blade. Extend blade life by using a solid
blade cutting lubricant such as MILWAUKEE Band Saw
Blade Lubricant Catalog Number 49-08-4206.
Plunge Cutting (Fig. 6)
Your MILWAUKEE Sawzall® is ideal for plunge cutting
directly into surfaces that can not be cut from an edge, such
as walls or floors. Plunge cutting 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 down.
Column B shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the
blade facing up. Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces (see
"Cutting Metals").
