CUTTING A HOLE IN WOOD FLOORING
TO INSTALL A HEATING VENT
The oscillating tool can be used to cut a
hole in wood flooring for installing a
heating vent.
1. Install the plunge cutting saw blade for
wood in the tool (Fig. 6 Page 18).
NOTE: The blade should be centred on
the tool housing and NOT installed in the
90° position.
2. Place the floor vent on the floor and
use a soft lead pencil to trace the
required rectangular hole (1) on the
flooring (Fig. 13).
3. Place the saw blade (2) near the floor
surface in the middle of one of the
cutting lines.
4. Turn the tool ON and set the tool
speed at a medium speed
(Fig. 11 Page 20).
NOTE: The tool and blade should be at a
45° angle to the floor to allow the corner of
the blade to plunge cut into the flooring.
