INSTALLING ANNULAR CUTTERS
Ø WARNING: Annular cutters are extremely sharp and should only be handled with a
thick glove so as not to cut the user during installation or removal.
Ø Check that the cutters are sharp and not damaged.
o Annular cutters that are dull or damaged should not be used.
Ø Insert the pilot pin into the center of the annular cutter you have chosen.

the metal slug after the cut.

Ø Insert the annular cutter into the ¾” adapter.
Ø Align the two “flat” sides of the annular cutter with the flat sides of the adapter.

simply on the round side of the cutter shank.
Ø Tighten one of the hex screws while slowly rotating the cutter forward and
backwards.
o Continue to tighten the screw until fully tightened.
Ø Tighten the 2
nd
hex screw.
