SelectingaBlade
The Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp can be used with
all 1/2" shank universal Hackzall
®
and Sawzall
®
blades. Use blades for best perfor-
mance. 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 88.9 mm long  since they won’t
extend

beyond the shoe throughout the stroke.
For best performance and longest life, see your
Electric Tool catalog or go online to
www.milwaukeetool.com.au to select the best
blade for the job.

Quik-Lok

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:
• 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 ngers 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. 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.
