using the #560 bit you will be able to cut in a
counter clockwise direction because the bit
has a piloted tip and won't cut into the outlet
box. The maximum cutting depth is 3/4" (19
mm). Thicker materials may require a slower,
steadier cut. The recommended tool speed for
the Drywall Cutting bit is generally 25,000-
35,000 rpm. Caution should be used when
making overhead cuts so debris is not getting
drawn into the tool.
5 6 1
Multipurpose Cutting Bit – For use in wood,
plastics, drywall, fiberglass, vinyl or
aluminum siding, acoustical tile and
laminates.
Use with 1/8" (3.2 mm) collet #480 and collet
nut.
When inserting the #561 bit into your rotary
tool, it is very important that at least 1/16" (1.6
mm) and no more than 1/8" (3.2 mm) of
smooth shank remains visible above the collet.
Leaving too much shank out of the tool can
cause the bit to spin unevenly and make the
tool difficult to control. The guide has a "0"
depth marking on it, however, when inserted
properly, the bit will stick out from the end of
the guide by 1/16" (1.6 mm) – 1/8" (3.2 mm).
The depth can be adjusted from that point on a
continuous slide up to 3/4" (19 mm).
When making freehand cuts in drywall –ex.
repairing a hole in drywall, use the
multipurpose bit #561, cutting in clockwise
direction. When using a template (like an outlet
box) behind the drywall, use the drywall bit
#560, cutting in a counter-clockwise direction.
The maximum cutting depth is 3/4" (19 mm).
Thicker materials may require a slower,
steadier cut.
When plunge-cutting using the #561
Multipurpose Cutting Bit, start the bit into the
material at a 45 degree angle and then slowly
bring the bit and tool to a 90 degree angle to
begin cutting. Keep in mind the sides of the bit
are what actually do the cutting. Caution
should be used when making overhead cuts
so debris is not getting drawn into the tool.

Tile Cutting Bit – For use on wall tile,
cement board and plaster
Use with 1/8" (3.2 mm) collet #480 and collet
nut.
When inserting the #562 bit into your rotary
tool, it is very important that at least 1/16"
(1.6 mm) and no more than 1/8" (3.2 mm) of
smooth shank remains visible above the
collet. Leaving too much shank out of the tool
can cause the bit to spin unevenly and make
the tool difficult to control.
When plunge-cutting using the #562 Tile
Cutting Bit, start the bit into the material at a
45 degree angle and then slowly bring the bit
and tool to a 90 degree angle to begin
cutting. Keep in mind the sides of the bit are
what actually do the cutting. Caution should
be used when making overhead cuts so
debris is not getting drawn into the tool.
Recommended speed for this accessory is
