Cutting a Hole for an Electrical Outlet (Fig. E)

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 fixture box, mark the
approximate location of the center of the fixture box 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 fixture box. 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
fixturebox.
5. Cut to the right until the bit reaches the inside edge of the
fixture box. Pull the bit out just enough it to clear the edge
of the fixture box. Plunge the bit in again, holding the bit
gently against the outside of the fixturebox.
6. Follow the outside of the fixture box and complete the cut
counterclockwise, keeping slight pressure against the fixture
box. This will minimize wandering and give you a clean,
precisecut.
7. Remove the waste and dust from the fixture box. Finish
fastening the sheet of wallboard.
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.
