Cutting a Hole for an Electrical Outlet
(Fig. G)
WARNING: Shut off all live electric circuits to any areas
where cut outs will bemade.
1. Push any wiring deeply into the outlet box to avoid
damage from the cuttingbit.
2. Before hanging the sheet covering the outlet, mark
the approximate location of the center of the outlet on
the wall board. Check the cutting bit depth against the
side of the board to be sure it will cut entirely through
thematerial.
3. Tack the sheet in place with a few fasteners avoiding the
stud holding the outlet. This allows the wall board to flex
slightly around the protruding fixturebox.
4. Turn the cut‑out tool on. Holding the tool firmly with
both hands, plunge the bit straight into the center of
theoutlet.
5. Cut to the right until the edge of the box
counterclockwise is touched. Pull out just enough for the
bit to clear the edge of the box. Plunge in again holding
the bit gently against the outside of thebox.
6. Follow the outside of the box as shown keeping slight
pressure against the box. This will minimize wandering
and give you a clean precisecut.
7. Remove the waste and dust from the outlet. Finish
fastening the sheet of wallboard.
To Maintain Safe Tool Control
