20 Most Recent Milwaukee Tool Milwaukee 6266 - 22 6.2 - AMP Orbital Jig Saw Questions & Answers

Use a higher quality blade, this will help.

It happens with a Jig saw. You have to mind the direction of the force you push on the unit.

A better blade will cut easier and faster and will be less likely to bend.

ALSO: this tool has orbital. This feature makes the unit cut much faster but is much less accurate for cutting. If you need to make a really straight cut, make sure orbital is off.

Possible causes:- Tires: If the tire(s) on the front or rear pulleys are worn, torn or have chuncks out of them, the blade can slip off.- Pulley(s) out of line: If either or both pulleys are out of alignment the blade will work it's way off. This could be caused by a worn pulley hub; a worn or broken pulley axel; or worn, broken or frozen bearings where the axels turn. On the drive pulley this could include the bearings on the drive shaft or the boss where the bearings fit into.- Blade: If there are any kinks or slight bends in the metal they could cause the blade to work off the pulley.

could be a couple things, unplug tool and look at the pins on both the cord and the pin housing to make sure none pushed back, next remove handle half and remote electronic and look for a loose flag terminal at the brush holder, look for loose wires on the switch, (give a gentle tug) and remove the brushes and look for unusual wear patterns and possibly a burnt brush spring. Let me know if you need more help.

Scott, What is the serial number on your saw? I need that to make sure I get the correct info for you.

Hi Don. have you tried over tightening the blade tension? that works for me

Take the clamp apart by removing the spiral ring that holds the collar on and then remove the pin. Make sure you write down how to put it back together! Once you remove the pin everything else will come off easily! diagram the whole thing as you go!

UNPLUG THE SAW first!! Look for the blade lock on the top or front of the motor body, Hold the lock button down while turning the blade nut with a wrench. After a bit you'll feel the lock button engage and hold the blade firm. Rotate the the wrench counter clockwise and remove the nut, Slide the blade out from under the guard and replace with a new one. Reinstall the nut following the above procedure.

If you're not familiar with allen screws, I'd stay out of the insides.

before change the switch,check 120 volt wire and brushalso check for loose terminal on brush holder,sometime look ok but you can see littlebit of melted plastic at the crossing of plastic and terminalwith more then 12 years to repair tools,when i open the handle,i weld the terminal to holder to eliminate futur problem,it take 2 minutes

the commutator culd just be dirty. Remove the brushes again and look into the brush tubes while slowly turning/pulling the blade and look for discoloration of the comm bars. If one is raised that is your problem. You can try and SEAT the new brushes before replacing the armature. If you do replace it I would recommend replacing the bearings also. Let me know and I will try and help more.

I don't know what model you have but Milwaukee sawzalls use a wobble shaft and wobble plate to turn the rotary motion of the armature into the reciprocating action of the blade. If you motor is working (hums?) but the blade won't move one or more of these parts are broken and hitting eacher (clicks?) inside the gear case. You or a repair center will have to take the gear case apart to find our what's broken and determine whether it's worth repairing.

you can go to milwaukeetool.com and download an users manual for the tool. You would need the model number and serial number for this. Let me know if you need more assistance.

the grease has broken down and would need serviced. As far as parts and breakdowns go to milwaukeetool.com and you would need the model and serial number so you can download a parts and also wiring schematic. They also have a service locator that you can buy parts from locally. If you need more assistance let me know and I will try and help
