CUTTING TIPS – cont'd
Slower cutting gives you better control.
Excessive pressure or fast cutting will
increase the bit temperature and shorten
the life of the bit.
When cutting a hole in a vertical surface,
avoid ending the cut at the bottom of the
hole. Always start and end the cut at the
"top" so the cut out part will not drop onto
the rotating bit. Always turn the tool OFF
before removing it from the workpiece.
CUTTING OUTLET OPENINGS IN
DRYWALL
!
DANGER:
Do not attempt to use
this tool to make cut outs around any
fixture or opening which has live
electrical wires or on any wall which
may have electrical wiring behind it. If a
live wire is contacted, the bit could
conduct the electric current to the tool,
creating an electrocution hazard for the
operator. Turn OFF breakers or remove
fuses to disconnect the electric circuit
in the area of work. Always hold the tool
by its insulated housing when working
in areas where there is a possibility of
contacting electric wires. Always wear
eye, ear and dust protection when
operating this tool.
1. Before installing drywall, push the
electrical wires to the back of the
outlet box as far as possible so they
will not be cut by the bit when cutting
the opening.
2. Before fastening the drywall sheet
over the electrical box, mark the sheet
as close as possible to the centre of
the box opening. Mark should be on
the side of the drywall facing you.
