OPERATING TIPS

PILOT DRILL IS PRE-INSTALLED IN VENT SAW. Drill bit point length
extending beyond saw teeth is preset to accommodate hole
cuts up to 2" deep. No further adjustment is necessary. Hold saw
perpendicular to work when drilling pilot so that teeth engage
evenly to assure accurate, efficient hole cutting. Keep a firm

grip on drill and apply only moderate feed pressure while drilling
pilot to maintain operator control when saw teeth engage material.

NOTE: Extra long pilot drill easily bores through nonferrous
materials up to 4" thick. For some hole cutting applications,

the extra pilot drill length may help locate the hole center
from the other side of work in order to finish hole cuts up to
a maximum 4" depth.

RECOMMENDED CUTTING SPEEDS WILL RANGE DEPENDING ON
MATERIAL BEING CUT. Refer to drill manufacturer's use and care
manual for recommended operating instructions and proper
drill size. Generally, lower speeds should be used for hard,

dense materials while higher speeds are more efficient when
cutting in softer, less dense or thinner materials. For optimum
performance and maximum blade life, operate Hole Saw at
slowest speed and lowest feed pressure consistent with good
results. Saw must be held perpendicular to the surface being
cut. Cutting at an angle will result in blade damage.

REPLACEMENT BLADES: Blades are easily replaced by remov­ing the 4 screws and lock nuts that hold blade to aluminum
arbor. New replacement blades will come with a new set
of screws and lock nuts. Place new blade over aluminum
arbor and line up the holes in arbor with the holes in blades.

Tighten screws securely using a 1/8" hex key wrench and 3/8"
open or closed end wrench.
