OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Operating the Cut-out Tool
WARNING
• Always check the work area for hidden wires
before use. Shut off all live electric circuits to
any areas where cut outs will be made.
a. Move any wiring in the wall or ceiling away
from the path of the bit.
b. Remove the battery and adjust the depth
guide so that the bit extends 1/8" beyond the
material.
c. Replace the battery, turn on the tool, and allow
the tool to reach full speed.
WARNING
• Allow the cutting bit to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. Contact with the
workpiece during startup can cause the tool to kick back and cause injury.
d. Hold the tool with both hands and plunge the bit into the workpiece.
e. Keep the depth guide flat against the workpiece and move the tool through the cut.
f. When cutting a hole, plunge into the center and cut to the edge. Complete the cut in a
counterclockwise direction.
g. When the cut is complete, remove the cutting bit from the workpiece.
h. Turn off the tool and allow bit to stop before laying the tool down.
WARNING
• Ensure that the tool comes to a complete stop before laying it down. A spinning cutting bit
can grab a surface, causing injury or damage.
