5). WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, keep hands away from the blade and other moving parts. Trigger Speed Control Switch The Sawzall® HatchetTM is 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. 1. To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger. 2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed. 3. 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. Stroke Fig. 5 WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if they impact the work or shoe (Fig. 5). page 7 Using the Orbit Control Switch (Fig. 6) Fig. 6 Straight action Orbital action The Sawzall® HatchetTM orbit control switch allows the tool to be operated in straight reciprocating (non orbital) or orbital action. Straight reciprocating action should be used when a smooth cut is needed. Orbital action is recommended for fast, aggressive cutting. The type of reciprocating action should be determined by the user for their specific cutting requirements. 1. For straight reciprocating action, press in the orbit control switch and slide the switch (Fig. 6) so the straight action symbol is shown. 2. For orbital action, press in the orbit control switch and slide the switch (Fig. 6) so the orbital action symbol is shown. Orbit action may be adjusted when the tool is running. NOTE: If the blade is installed with the teeth facing upward and orbital action is selected, cutting performance is reduced. General Cutting For straight or contour cutting from an edge, line the blade up with your cutting line. Before the blade contacts the workpiece, 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 Easy-Cut Sawzall Blade Lubricant Cat. No. 49-08-4206. Plunge Cutting (Fig. 7) 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. NOTE: If the blade is installed with the teeth facing upward and orbital action is selected, cutting performance is reduced. Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces (see “Cutting Metals”). WARNING! To reduce the risk of explosion, 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. Fig. 7 A B 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 work- piece as shown. 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 firmly on the workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cutting line to acquire the desired cut. NOTE: To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy gauge blade. page 8 MAINTENANCE ACCESSORIES WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool's electrical system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs. WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the tool before attaching or removing accessories. Use only specifically recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous. Maintaining Tools Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”). Under normal conditions, ...
