the tool by its thermoplastic housing, and
always wear eye protection when operating
this device.
Step 1: Be certain that the box or fixture
which requires a cut-out is firmly mounted
and all wires or other obstructions around the
opening are pushed back out of the way. The
drywall cut-out bit uses the outer edge of the
box or fixture as a guide, so it is important
that there is nothing in the way which can
prevent it from guiding completely around the
opening. For the purposes of this instruction
manual, the procedure discussed will be to
make a cut-out around a standard 2 1/8" x 3
3/4" electrical box.
Step 2
Slide switch to turn the tool on. While holding
the Spiral Saw power tool firmly with both
hands plunge the Zip Bit through the mark
you made. Then guide the Zip Bit to the right
until you feel and hear the Zip Bit touch the
inside edge of the box.
Step 3
Pull the Zip Bit out far enough to slip it over
the edge of the box so it is now against the
outside of the box.
Step 4
While keeping the Zip Bit in contact with the
outside of the box move the tool counter
clockwise while applying light inward and
upward pressure until you feel and hear it
come to the corner. As you round the corner
apply light pressure left and downward.
Step 5
While moving slowly and continuously along
the top contour you will feel the Zip Bit come
to the next corner. Round the corner and
apply light down and inward pressure until
the bottom corner is reached.
Step 6
Move the Zip Bit right and upward maintaining
light continuous pressure toward the box.
Step 7
Round the right bottom corner and begin
moving the bit upward while applying light
pressure left toward the box until you meet
initial upward cut. Push Spiral Saw power tool
switch to off.
Step 8
The completed box, executed quickly, neatly
and in a fraction of the time taken by other
methods.
These step-by-step instructions are
generalized to acquaint you with the Spiral
Saw power tool operation. After some
practice, you may develop a motion
technique with which you are more
comfortable. However, you must always
begin the cut somewhat centrally, and MOVE
THE SPIRAL SAW POWER TOOL ONLY
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to take advantage
of the “hugging” action of the rotating Zip Bit
along the contours of the template.
Remember to use a smooth continuous
motion.
