When inserting the drywall guide bit into the drywall,
carefully insert the bit straight until the shoe base is in full
contact with the material.

Move the tool slowly with a constant pressure in a
clockwise direction to make the cut.
When cutting straight line, clamp a straight board firmly
to the material and use it as a guide. Move the tool in the
direction of the arrow with the shoe base flush with the
side of the guide board.

When the cut is complete, turn the tool off and wait for the
bit to stop rotating and then carefully remove it from the
material.
NOTE:
1. When using this tool, the rotating action causes
the tool to pull. The less pressure applied to the
tool causes less pull and provides a more accurate
cut. Excessive pressure or fast cutting can cause
the bit to dull or break premature.
2. When cutting drywall around outlet boxes, cut in a
counterclockwise direction for ease of cut.
3. The standard bit included with this tool is for cutting
drywall only. When cutting materials other than
drywall, do not use the standard drywall guide bit.
