tool to make cut-outs
around any fixture or opening which has
live electrical wires, or on 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
this device.
• Step 1: Be certain that the box or fixture
which requires a cut-out is firmly mounted
and all wires or other obstructions around the
opening are pushed back out of the way. The
drywall cut-out bit uses the outer edge of the
box or fixture as a guide, so it is important
that there is nothing in the way which can
prevent it from guiding completely around the
opening. For the purposes of this instruction
manual, the procedure discussed will be to
make a cut-out around a standard 2 1/8" x 3
3/4" electrical box.
• Step 2: Before fastening the drywall sheet,
make a mark close to the center of the
opening in the box on the side of the drywall
facing you. You may then begin to screw or
nail the sheet to the wall, but do not install
fasteners closer then about 15" to the box, or
the sheet will likely bulge and crack before
you cut the opening.
• Step 3: Holding the tool firmly switch the
tool to the "ON" position as described earlier.
• Step 4: Holding the tool firmly with both
hands, push the bit through the drywall at the
mark you made in step 2. Guide the bit to the
right until you feel it make contact with the
inside edge of the box. Then retract the bit
slightly, (do not pull entirely out) to allow it to
penetrate through the drywall and contact the
outside edge of the box by continuing to
move the tool slightly to the right as you cut.
• Step 5: Keeping the bit in contact with the
outside of the box, move the tool counter-
clockwise to create the opening. When
rounding a corner, keep applying light
pressure towards the center of the box while
moving the bit steadily and smoothly around
the whole box until the entire cut has been
completed. Slide the switch to the "OFF"
position, and pull the bit free of the drywall.
You may then remove the piece you have
cut, and you will have a smooth opening. The
rest of the screws or nails may now be put in
place on the drywall sheet, and the task is
completed.

loaded. Reduce the pressure or feed rate to
prevent possible damage to the tool. Do not
attempt to start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the workpiece. Always be sure the
collet nut is tightened securely before use.
