CUTTING A HOLE IN DRYWALL FOR
INSTALLING AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET BOX –
cont’d
4. Place the corner edge of the saw blade (2)
near the drywall in the middle of one of the
cutting lines.
5. When the tool reaches its maximum speed,
carefully plunge the blade into the drywall
until it cuts through the drywall. Complete
the cut to the corner of the rectangle.
NOTE: Hold the tool tightly and do not put
too much pressure on the saw blade when
cutting.
6. Turn the saw OFF, remove it from the cut
and proceed to cut in the opposite direction
to complete the cut for the first side of the
rectangle.
7. Repeat steps #4, #5 & #6 to cut the
remaining three sides of the rectangle.
8. When all cuts are complete, use a flat
blade screw driver to carefully pry the cut-
out from the drywall.
USING THE SCRAPER BLADE
1. Install the scraper blade on the oscillating
tool (Page 10).
2. Turn the switch ON (Page 11).
When using the scraper blade to scrape old
finishes or glue from a workpiece, place the
under side of the blade flat on the workpiece
surface and then lift upward on the rear of the
tool to allow the blade to form a very slight angle
with the workpiece surface. Feed the blade
slowly into the material that is to be removed.
Do not force the tool as slower travel speeds will
produce better cutting action and reduce the risk
of gouging the workpiece.
When using the scraper blade to cut carpet,
place a scrap workpiece under the carpet where
the cut is being made. Turn the tool so the
scraper blade is at right angles (perpendicular)
to the carpet and then feed the blade into the
carpet.
