Step 5: After completing your cut, turn off the
tool and carefully remove it from the material.
Do not attempt to use this tool to make cutouts
around any fixture or opening which has live
electrical wires, or any wall which may have
live electrical wiring behind it, as the bit could
conduct current to the tool, creating an
electrocution hazard for the operator. Shut off
breakers or remove fuses to disconnect the
circuit. Always hold the tool by its
thermoplastic housing, and always wear eye
protection when operating the tool.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING CUT-OUTS IN DRYWALL
FOR OUTLETS, CAN LIGHTS, WINDOWS, AND DOORS
After assembling the bit into the tool as
described earlier, it will be necessary to review
the instructions provided here and make some
practice cut-outs with this tool before attempting
an actual job. The best method is to take some
scrap pieces and nail or screw them in place
over wall studs which have an electrical box or
other feature in place. A few such exercises will
give you the necessary practice to make clean,
professional cutouts around whatever is behind
the drywall you are installing.
NOTE: Because of the rotating cutting action
of the bit, there will be a slight pull when
cutting. The slower you cut, the more control
you have. Excessive pressure or fast cutting
will cause excessive heat and may shorten
the life of the bit.
NOTE: When cutting on a vertical surface,
avoid ending your cut at the bottom of the
hole. If possible, start and end your cut at the
top so the scrap part will not drop onto the
rotating bit. Turn the tool off and remove it
from the material.
Do not attempt to use this

operator. Shut off breakers or remove fuses to
