Oscillating multi tool - Owner's Manual
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
CUTTING A HOLE IN WOOD FLOORING TO
INSTALL A HEATING VENT
The oscillating tool can be used to cut a hole in
wood flooring for installing a heating vent.
1. Install the wood and drywall plunge saw blade
in the tool (Fig. 1 Page 11).
NOTE:
The blade should be centered on the tool
housing and NOT installed in the 90° position.
2. Place the floor vent on the floor and use a soft
lead pencil to trace the required rectangular hole
(1) on the flooring (Fig. 7).
3. Place the saw blade (2) near the floor surface in
the middle of one of the cutting lines.
4. Set the tool speed at a medium speed #4
(Fig. 5 on Page 13).
5. Turn the tool ON (Fig.4 on Page 12).
NOTE:
The tool and blade should be at a 45°
angle to the floor to allow the corner of the blade
to plunge cut into the flooring.
6. While holding the tool tightly, slowly plunge
the corner of the blade into the flooring until it
cuts through the flooring. Once the plunge cut
is complete, set the tool to its highest speed and
complete the cut to the corner of the rectangle.
7. 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
rectangle.
8. Repeat steps #4, #5 & #6 to cut the remaining
three sides of the rectangle.
9. When all cuts are complete, use a flat blade
screwdriver to carefully pry the cut-out from
the floor.
NOTE:
Do NOT use the saw blade to pry the cut-
out from the floor. You will break the blade. If the
cut-out is not easy to pry from the floor, check
to make sure each line is cut completely into the
corner of the rectangle.
CUTTING A HOLE IN DRYWALL FOR
INSTALLING AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET BOX
The oscillating tool can be used to cut a
hole in drywall for installing an electrical
outlet box.
1. Install the wood & drywall plunge saw
blade in the tool (Fig.1 on Page 11).
NOTES:
a) A half circle saw blade for cutting
wood or drywall can also be used for this
operation. The half-circle blade must be
purchased separately.
b) The blade should be centered on the
tool housing and NOT installed in the 90°
position.
2. Place the outlet box on the drywall
and use a soft lead pencil to trace the
required rectangular hole (1) on the
drywall (Fig. 8).
NOTE: Do NOT use the saw blade to pry
the cut-out from the floor. You will break
the blade. If the cut-out is not easy to pry
from the floor, check to make sure each
line is cut completely into the corner of the
rectangle.
