ON/OFF SWITCH
This cut-out saw is equipped with a
convenient ON/OFF switch (1) located on
the top of the tool handle (Fig. 5). To turn
the switch ON, slide the switch outward.
To turn the switch OFF, slide the switch
inward.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH
The cut-out saw is equipped with a
variable speed control located below the
ON/OFF switch. To run the tool at its
slowest speed, rotate the speed control
wheel (2) to number “1” (Fig. 6). To
increase the tool speed, rotate the speed
control wheel in the opposite direction.
Maximum speed
will be achieved at “6”.
ADJUSTING THE FREEHAND CUTTING
GUIDE
1. Adjust the freehand cutting guide
depth by loosening the depth gauge
locking screw (1) and moving the
cutting guide foot (2) up or down as
required (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Set the foot so the cutting bit
protrudes beyond the bottom of the cutting
guide 1/8" more than the thickness of the
material being cut. For example, if you are
cutting 5/8" drywall, the bit should protrude
3/4" beyond the bottom of the cutting
guide.
2. Securely tighten depth gauge locking
screw.
NOTE: Hand tightening is normally
adequate. If you use a screwdriver (3), do
not over tighten the locking screw.
