either the "1" or "2" ON positions.
The tool is powered by a three position
bump-off slide switch located on the rear, side
of the tool.
Step 4
Position "0" is the OFF position
Position "1" turns the tool ON and activates
the trigger switch on the handle.
When the power switch is slid upward to the
first - or "1" - position, the tool is "live" and is
activated by depressing the trigger switch on
the removable handle. To turn the tool OFF
release the trigger switch and push the slide
switch to the "0" position.
Never leave the tool
CAUTION
!
unattended in the "1" ON
position. It is considered a live tool and is
activated by the trigger switch.
Position "2" turns the tool ON with a
continuous running action.
When the power switch is slid upward to the
second - or "2" - position, the tool runs
continuously. To turn the tool OFF, push the
slide switch down to the "0" position.
Note: When the auxiliary handle is removed, the
tool can only be turned ON in the "2" position.
STEP 5. LOCATE THE VARIABLE
SPEED INDICATOR
The Revolution Spiral Saw power tool features
a variable speed range of 15, 20, 25 and
30,000 RPMs.
Step 5
* The default rating is 30,000 RPMs. Meaning, if
you turn the tool OFF and then back ON again,
the tool automatically starts at 30,000 RPMs.
* While the tool is ON (either in the "1" or "2"
position) you can move between speeds by
pressing the VARIABLE SPEED button.
* An illuminated red LED light on the touch pad
indicates the variable speed chosen.
* For the best results, when using the Spiral
Saw power tool and Zip® Bits, we recommend
only using the 30,000 and 25,000 RPM. You
lower the
will not obtain a quality cut if you
RPM to 20,000 or 15,000.

Hold the tool with both hands
CAUTION
!
while starting, since torque of
the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Make A Few Practice Cuts
After assembling the Zip Bit into the tool and
adjusting your depth guide, as described
above, you should make a few practice cuts
with the tool before attempting an actual job.
A few exercises will give you the necessary
practice to make clean, professional cuts.
STEP 6:
Make certain that the collet nut is securely
tightened before turning the tool on.
STEP 7:
Hold the Spiral Saw power tool firmly and turn
the tool ON.
Hold the tool with both hands while starting,
since torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
STEP 8:
While holding the tool firmly, insert the Zip Bit
into the material at a 45° angle.
Step 8
STEP 9:
Slowly bring it to a 90° angle to begin the cut.
The base guide should be flush to the material
surface. For all materials (EXCEPT cutting
around outlet boxes in drywall), steer the tool
in a clockwise direction with slow, steady
pressure to make the cut.
Step 9
STEP 10:
After completing your cut, turn off the tool and
carefully remove it from the material.
Do not attempt to use this tool to make cut-outs
around any fixture or opening which has live
electrical wires, or any wall which may have
live electrical wiring behind it, as the Zip 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 a Spiral Saw power tool.
NOTE: Because of the rotating cutting action
of the Zip 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 Zip 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 Zip Bit. Turn the tool off and remove it
from the material.
