Step 1: Be certain that the box or fixture is
firmly mounted and all wires or other
obstructions around the opening are pushed
back out of the way. The bit uses the outer
edge of the box or fixture as a guide, so it is
important that there is nothing in the way
which can prevent it from guiding completely
around the opening. For the purposes of this
instruction manual, the procedure discussed
will be to make a cut-out around a standard 2
1/8" x 3 3/4" electrical box.

Step 2: Slide switch to turn the tool on. While
holding the tool firmly with both hands,
plunge the bit through the mark you made.
Then guide the bit to the right until you feel
and hear the bit touch the inside edge of the
box (Fig. 11).
Step 3: Pull the bit out far enough to slip it
over the edge of the box so it is now against
the outside of the box (Fig. 12).
Step 4: While keeping the bit in contact with
the outside of the box move the tool counter
clockwise while applying light inward and
upward pressure until you feel and hear it
come to the corner. As you round the corner
apply light pressure left and downward (Fig. 12).
Step 5: While moving slowly and continuously
along the top contour you will feel the bit come

to the next corner. Round the corner and
apply light down and inward pressure until the
bottom corner is reached (Fig. 12).
Step 6: Move the bit right and upward
maintaining light continuous pressure toward
the box (Fig. 12).
Step 7: Round the right bottom corner and
begin moving the bit upward while applying
light pressure left toward the box until you
meet initial upward cut. Release the trigger
(Fig. 11).
Step 8: The completed box, executed quickly,
neatly, and in a fraction of the time taken by
other methods.
NOTE: These step-by-step instructions are
generalized to acquaint you with the tracing
operation. After some practice, you may
develop a technique with which you are more
comfortable. However, you must always begin
the cut somewhat centrally, and MOVE THE
tool ONLY COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to take
advantage of the "hugging" action of the bit
along the contours of the template.
Remember to use a smooth, continuous
motion. The exception to this rule applies to
cutting window and door openings. Since you
are tracing around the inside of the framing
members, move the bit clockwise to take
advantage of the bits "hugging" action.
