To Maintain Safe Tool Control
•
Make sure the work surface is free of nails or screws.
Cutting into a nail or screw may cause the tool to jump,
damaging the bit.
•
Never operate the tool with one hand while holding
the workpiece with the other hand. Always clamp the
material and guide the tool with both hands.
•
Do not cut material lying on a hard surface. Clearance
behind material to be cut must be allowed for
protruding bit.
•
Disconnect battery from tool before making adjustments,
changing bits, or cleaning tool.
•
Do not start the tool with bit engaged in the material.
The bit may grab the material.

Cutting a Hole for an Electrical Outlet
(Fig. G)
WARNING: Shut off all live electric circuits to any areas
where cut outs will be made.
1. Push any wiring deeply into the outlet box to avoid
damage from the cutting bit.
2. Before hanging the sheet covering the outlet, mark
the approximate location of the center of the outlet on
the wall board. Check the cutting bit depth against the
side of the board to be sure it will cut entirely through
the material.
3. Tack the sheet in place with a few fasteners avoiding the
stud holding the outlet. This allows the wall board to flex
slightly around the protruding fixture box.
4. Turn the cut‑out tool on. Holding the tool firmly with
both hands, plunge the bit straight into the center of
the outlet.
5. Cut to the right until the edge of the box
counterclockwise is touched. Pull out just enough for the
bit to clear the edge of the box. Plunge in again holding
the bit gently against the outside of the box.
6. Follow the outside of the box as shown keeping slight
pressure against the box. This will minimize wandering
and give you a clean precise cut.
7. Remove the waste and dust from the outlet. Finish
fastening the sheet of wall board.
