OPERATION
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
Unplug the tool before removing blades.
Broken blades can be removed by the
following methods.
• Point the tool downward, twist the col-
lar, and shake the tool up and down
(DO NOT turn the tool on while your
fingers 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. Simply 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.
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.
2. To lock the shoe in position, push the
shoe release lever up.
3. After adjusting the shoe, slowly pull the
trigger to be sure the blade always
extends beyond the shoe and your
work throughout the stroke.
Adjustable Pivot Shoe (Fig. 3)
The shoe can be adjusted forward or back-
ward to six positions to take advantage of
the unused portion of the blade or for spe-
cial jobs requiring low blade clearance.

DO NOT OPERATE SAWZALL WITHOUT
SHOE. STRIKING THE SPINDLE
AGAINST WORK MAY DAMAGE THE
RECIPROCATING MECHANISM.
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. 4).
Impact Protection System
Both models are equipped with a unique
patented gearing system that provides ef-
ficient power transmission and extended
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 purpose cutting.
Rotating the Handle (Fig. 5)
(Cat. No. 6523-21)
The 6523-21 Orbital Super Sawzall®
handle can rotate continuously in either
direction, allowing the user to achieve
optimal cutting positions and comfort. The
handle can be locked into one of eight (8)
detent positions, one at every 45° angle.
To rotate the handle:
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Press in the handle rotation button.
3. Rotate the handle to the desired
position.
4. Release the handle rotation button. This
will lock the handle firmly into position.
Note: Make sure the handle does not
rotate before using the tool.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling
Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly
and pull the trigger.
1. For straight reciprocating action, move
the orbit control switch to the straight
cut symbol (1).
2. For orbital action, move the orbit
control switch towards the orbital cut
symbol (2).
The amount of orbital action may be
adjusted by moving the orbital
control switch to any position between the
two symbols. For larger orbital action,
move the orbit control switch closer to the
orbital cut symbol (2). For smaller orbital
action, move the orbit control switch closer
to the straight cut symbol (1).
Orbital action may be adjusted when the
tool is running.
NOTE: Orbital action will not operate if the
blade is installed upside down.
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.
Orbit Control Switch (Fig. 6)
The Orbital Super Sawzall
®
is equipped
with an orbit control switch. The tool may
be operated with 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 optimal orbital action should be
determined by the user for their specific
cutting requirements.

WARNING!
Do not operate the Sawzall® with
the handle rotation button
pressed in or with the handle not
locked into position.
WARNING!
If the handle can not be locked
into position, do not operate the
Sawzall®. Return the Sawzall® to
a
Milwauke
e service facility
immediately for repair.
