TO ADJUST THE SHOE
The Cutout Tool is equipped with a shoe
(A) Fig. 8 that you can adjust to provide
the desired amount of bit exposure.
Use the supplied hex wrench (C) Fig.

retaining screws) to loosen the screw
(B) Fig. 8, counter-clockwise. Move the
shoe to the desired position and tighten
the screw firmly.
TO USE THE CUTOUT TOOL
(Drywall, Paneling, Acoustical Tile, Foamboard)
Install an appropriate bit (see "TO INSTALL AND REMOVE THE BIT").
14) to prevent accidental electrical shock resulting from cutting a live wire.
1. Mount the outlet box so that the face
of the box extends a minimum of
1/4" from the face of the stud.
2. Before installing the wall covering
over the electrical box, position the
electrical wires to the bottom left
side of the electrical box (Fig. 9) Your
hammer handle is an excellent tool
for this purpose.
NOTE: Make several practice cutouts
using scrap wall covering material nailed
over an electrical box.
3. Position the wall covering against the
wall. Sight the electrical box position
(Fig. 10) and mark the approximate
center of the box on the face of the
wall covering. The hatchet end of
your hammer is an excellent tool for
this purpose. Attach the covering to
the wall.
NOTE: To prevent damage to wall
covering – DO NOT install nails or
screws within 18" of the electrical box
prior to completing the cutout.
Turn the Cutout Tool "ON".

5. Hold the Cutout Tool firmly with both hands and push the bit until the pilot
is through the wall covering at the mark made in STEP 3 (Fig. 10). Move
the Cutout Tool to the right until you feel the bit contact the inside of the
electrical box.
Disconnect all electrical circuits in the "cut" area. Hold the
Cutout Tool by the motor housing ONLY (see Figs. 11 thru
