Cutting a hole in drywall for installing an electrical outlet box
5.6 CUTTING A HOLE IN DRYWALL FOR INSTALLING AN ELECTRICAL
OUTLET BOX
The multi-tool can be used to cut a hole in drywall for installing an electrical outlet box.
1. Install the half circle saw blade for wood & drywall in the tool (Fig.2)
NOTE: The blade should be centered on the tool housing and not installed in the 90° position
2. Place the outlet box on the drywall and use a soft lead pencil to trace the required rectangular hole (1) on
the drywall (Fig.9)
Fig. 9
3. Place the corner edge of the saw blade (2) near the drywall in the middle of one of the cutting lines.
4. Set he speed to the highest speed and urn the tool ON (Fig. 5 & 6)
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 push 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.
