4. Install cutting bit and freehand cutting guide as outlined on pages 15-16 of this manual.
Adjust depth of cut so the bit will protrude 1/8” beyond the thickness of the drywall.
5. Hold the tool firmly with both hands and turn it ON. Plunge the bit through the drywall at
the mark indicating the centre of the box. See Ill. 10 for cutting pattern.
6.
Move the bit slowly to the right until you feel and hear the bit contacting the inside of the box.
7. Pull the bit out far enough to slip it over the edge of the box. Once the bit is outside the box,
push it back to full depth beside the outside edge of the box.
8. Move the tool upward while applying slight pressure toward the centre of the box. When
you feel the bit reach the top right corner of the box, move the tool to the left while applying
slight pressure downward toward the centre of the box.
9. Continue moving the tool around the box in a counter-clockwise direction while
maintaining slight pressure toward the centre of the box. When the box cut-out is
complete, turn the tool OFF and remove it from the cut-out.
10. Completed electrical box cut-out will be accurately and neatly cut.
NOTE: Always move the cutting bit in a counter- clockwise direction around the outlet box.
The natural tendency of the cutting bit to move to the left will make it easier to cut close to the
box.
Installing circle cutting guide
Ill.12
The circle cutting guide accessory is ideal for precision cutting of circles. This circle cutting
guide must be attached to the freehand cutting guide.
1. Install freehand cutting guide on the tool as illustrated on page 16 of this owner’s manual.
2. Insert the externally-threaded circle cutting guide mounting insert (1) into the bottom of
the freehand cutting guide (2).
NOTE: Make sure the notches (3) in the mounting insert are inserted into the matching
keys (4) in the sides of the cutting guide foot.
3. Place circle cutting guide mounting hole (5) over the externally-threaded circle cutting
guide mounting insert.
NOTE: Make sure pointed pivot pin (6) is pointing away from the tool.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
• Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A wrench or key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
