IMPORTANT USER TIP
Step 3
While holding the tool firmly, insert the Zip Bit
into the material at a 45° angle (Fig. 9).
Step 4
Slowly bring it to a 90° angle to begin the cut
(Fig. 10). The base guide should be flush to
the material surface. For all materials
(EXCEPT cutting around outlet boxes in
drywall), steer the tool in a clockwise direction
with slow, steady pressure to make the cut.
Step 5
After completing your cut, turn off the tool and
carefully remove it from the material.
Do not attempt to use this tool to make cut-
outs around any fixture or opening which has
live electrical wires, or any wall which may
have live electrical wiring behind it, as the Zip
MAKING DRYWALL CUT OUTS
After assembling the bit into the tool as
described earlier, it will be necessary to
review the instructions provided below and
make some practice cut-outs with this tool
before attempting an actual job. The best
method is to take some scrap pieces and nail
or screw them in place over wall studs which
have an electrical box or other feature in
place. A few such exercises will give you the
necessary practice to make clean,
professional cutouts around whatever is
behind the drywall you are installing.

Bit could conduct current to the tool, creating
an electrocution hazard for the operator. Shut
off breakers or remove fuses to disconnect the
circuit. Always hold the tool by its
thermoplastic housing, and always wear eye
protection when operating a Spiral Saw power
tool.
NOTE: Because of the rotating cutting action
of the Zip Bit, there will be a slight pull when
cutting. The slower you cut, the more control
you have. Excessive pressure or fast cutting
will cause excessive heat and may shorten the
life of the Zip Bit.
NOTE: When cutting on a vertical surface,
avoid ending your cut at the bottom of the
hole. If possible, start and end your cut at the
top so the scrap part will not drop onto the
rotating Zip Bit. Turn the tool off and remove it
from the material.

fuses to disconnect the circuit. Always hold
the tool by its thermoplastic housing, and
always wear eye protection when operating
this device.
Step 1: Be certain that the box or fixture
which requires a cut-out is firmly mounted and
all wires or other obstructions around the
opening are pushed back out of the way. The
drywall cut-out bit uses the outer edge of the
box or fixture as a guide, so it is important that
there is nothing in the way which can prevent
it from guiding completely around the opening.
For the purposes of this instruction manual,
the procedure discussed will be to make a cut-
out around a standard 2 1/8" x 3 3/4" electrical
box.
