OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Avoid forcing the bit to bend or twist. It may snap.
• Before turning the tool on, make sure the bit and
collet nut are securely tightened.
Hold the tool secure with the bit pointing in a safe direc-
tion not contacting any surface and slide the switch to the
''ON'' position. Wait until the tool attains full speed.
When starting the multipurpose bit into the material, hold
the tool at approximately a 45 degree angle with the edge
of the shoe base contacting the material.
Carefully bring the tool to a straight position so the shoe
base is in full contact with the material.
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 clock-
wise 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.
