power source before making
any assembly, adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Slide "ON/OFF" Switch
This tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch
located on the front of the motor housing.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" slide the switch
button up.
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF" slide the switch
button down or "0" position.
Hold the tool with both hands
WARNING
!
while starting, since torque of
the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Installing Zip
®
Bits
The Zip Bits are held by a collet system. At the
time your tool was assembled, the 1/8" collet
(used for 1/8" Zip Bits) was installed for your
convenience. A 1/4" collet is required for 1/4"
inch diameter Zip Bits, sold separately.
ZIP BIT STORAGE
Do not use .118" shank bits in the 1/8" collet, use
only Roto Zip Tool Corporation 1/8" Zip Bits.
Identify the different parts of your Zip Bits.
Sabrecut™ Zip Bit
The Zip Bit flutes are sharp
WARNING
!
and should be handled with
caution.
Step 1:
To insert a Zip Bit into the tool, first remove the
standard equipment wrench and locate the shaft
lock button. Depress and hold down the shaft
lock button with one hand and at the same time
loosen the collet nut with the other hand by
turning it counter clockwise with the wrench for
a couple rotations.
Remove the old Zip Bit (if there is one), insert
shank of Zip Bit into the collet so that 1/16" to
1/8" of smooth shank remains visible above the
collet.
Do not allow the flutes/cutting
CAUTION
!
edges of the Zip Bit to fall into
the collet, and do not tighten the collet around
the flutes; doing so will result in broken Zip Bits.
After properly placing the Zip Bit into the collet,
depress the shaft lock button and simultaneously
tighten the collet nut in a clockwise direction-
first by hand and then with the wrench until Zip
Bit is held securely.
Changing the collet
As stated above, the 1/8" collet is used with 1/8"
diameter Zip Bits and the 1/4" collet is used with
1/4" diameter Zip Bits, sold separately. To
interchange collets, first remove the Zip Bit.
Continue to loosen and unscrew the collet nut
until you can remove it from the tool. Remove
the collet and replace it with another. (Each
collet is double-ended, and either end is
acceptable to use.) By hand, re-tighten the
collet nut around the collet in a clockwise
direction. You are now ready to insert a new
Zip Bit as instructed in step 1 above.

tool when there is no Zip Bit
in the collet, DO NOT tighten the collet nut
down onto an empty collet. Doing so will make
the collet hole smaller, preventing you from
inserting Zip Bits into it in the future.
Adjusting, removing and installing the depth
guide assembly.
Step 2:
The depth guide is used to adjust the depth of
the cut. The depth guide assembly consists of
the depth guide, locking knob, base screw, and
bracket in addition to the wrench. Loosen the
locking knob by turning it counter clockwise with
the flat end of the wrench and slide the depth
guide up or down to the desired depth of your
cut. Retighten the locking knob with the wrench
in a clockwise direction. For best results, set
the guide at about 1/8" greater than the material
thickness. For example, to cut 1/2" plywood,
set the Zip Bit end so it protrudes 5/8" below the
base guide.
Note: Zip Bits can cut materials up to 1" thick.
To remove the depth guide, loosen the base
screw located on the collar of the depth guide
with the wrench. Twist the depth guide counter
clockwise and pull the assembly straight off the
tool. To re-attach the assembly, push down and
twist the depth guide clockwise until it is flush
with the tool. Tighten the guide screw with the
wrench.
Make A Few Practice Cuts
After assembling the Zip Bit into the tool and
adjusting your depth guide, as described above,
you should make a few practice cuts with the
tool before attempting an actual job.
A few exercises will give you the necessary
practice to make clean, professional cuts.
Step 3:
Make certain that the collet nut is securely
tightened before turning the tool on.
Step 4:
Hold the Spiral Saw power tool firmly and turn
the tool ON.
Hold the tool with both hands
WARNING
!
while starting, since torque
from the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Step 5:
While holding the tool firmly, insert the Zip Bit
into the material at a 45° angle.
