Depress the trigger on the underside of
the drill motor’s handle, and feed the hole saw
by turning the feeder knob clockwise. Feed the
saw into the cut at a moderate rate to maintain
good cutting action. DO NOT feed the saw too
fast, since it can cause the motor to stall. If dif-
ficulties occur during the cutting operation,
refer to the “Troubleshooting” section on page
12.

After completing the cut, remove your fin-
ger from the trigger, and retract the hole saw
by turning the feeder knob counterclockwise.
