When inserting the drywall guide bit into the drywall, care-
001629
fully 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
001630
the material and use it as a guide. Move the tool in the direc-
tion 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 mate-
rial.
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 pres-
sure or fast cutting can cause the bit to dull or break pre-
mature.
2. When cutting drywall around outlet boxes, cut in a coun-
terclockwise direction for ease of cut.
3. The standard bit included with this tool is for cutting dry-
wall only. When cutting materials other than drywall, do
not use the standard drywall guide bit.
