Turn the saw OFF, remove it from the cut
and proceed to cut in the opposite direction
to complete the cut for the first side of the

Do not
use the saw blade to pry the
cut-out from the drywall. You will break the
blade. If the cut-out is not easy to pry from the
drywall, check to make sure each line is cut
completely into the corner of the rectangle.
