Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating the power tool in damp locations
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of
an GFCI reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the swi tch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
-3-
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a ”live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool ”live”
and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your
hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the
tool to jump and damage the bit.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface. Clamping the material and guiding
the tool with both hands is safer.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard
surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...
Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in
safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment device can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged
in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the
cutter.
Always hold the tool with two hands during
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
When routing or cutting, the direction of
feed with the bit’s cutting edge into the
material is very important. Always feed the
bit into the material in the same direction
as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material. When viewing the tool from the top,
the bit rotates clockwise. If the tool is between
the workpiece and your body, then feed the

tool to your right. If the workpiece is between
the tool and your body, then feed the tool to
your left. Feeding the tool in the wrong
direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to
climb out of the work and pull the tool in the
direction of this feed.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits
can snap during use. Dull bits require more
force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit
to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the bit is too hot to be
touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor has
come to a complete standstill. The spinning
bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out of
your control.
Never use bits that have a cutting diameter
greater than the opening in the base.
Do not use the tool for drilling purposes.
This tool is not intended to be used with drill
bits.
Always use the tool with the depth guide
securely attached and positioned flat
against material being cut. The guide
securely positioned on the material improves
the stability and control of your tool.
If devices are provided for the connection
to dust collection and extraction systems,
be sure these are connected and used
according to tool and vacuum instructions.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust related
hazards.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust collection and extraction systems,
empty the dust container before beginning
work, frequently during work, after
completion of work, and before storing the
tool. Be extremely careful of dust disposal,
materials in fine particles form may be
explosive. Do not throw dust on an open fire.
Combustion from mixture of varnishes,
lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust
particles can occur if there is a static
discharge, electric spark, or excessive heat.
Do not use dust extraction where for
operations where dust may include
burning, smoking or smoldering items like
hot ashes or sparks. Fire inside the vacuum
tank or bag may occur. Dust may smolder and
set vacuum on fire long after work is
completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive
dusts, varnish, polyurethane coatings,
cleaners, or oil-based paints. Electric
motors create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Do not use dust extraction when working
on metal. Swarf from sanding, grinding or
cutting metal may be hot and may spark which
may melt, plastic adaptors, vacuum hoses and
may cause a fire inside the vacuum tank or bag.
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Rotozip Factory Service
Center or Autho rized Rotozip Service Station.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,

MAKE A FEW PRACTICE CUTS
After installing th e bit into the tool and
adjusting your depth guide, you should make
a few practice cuts with the too l before
attempting an actual job. A few exercises will
give you the necessary practice to make
clean, professional cuts.
Step 1: Make certain that the collet nut is
securely tightened before turning the tool on.
Step 2: Hold the tool firmly and turn the tool
ON to your desired speed.
Step 3: While holding the tool firmly, insert the
bit into the material at a 45° angle (Fig. 6).
Step 4: Slowly bring it to a 90° angle to begin
the cut (Fig. 7). 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 cutouts
around any fixture or opening which has live
electrical wires, or any wall which may have
live electrical wiring behind it, as the bit could
conduct cu rrent 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 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 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 bit. Turn the tool off and remove it
from the material.

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.
Do not attempt to use this
tool to make cut-outs
around any fixture or opening which has
live electrical wires, or on any wall which
may have live electrical wiring behind it, as
the 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 this device.
Step 1: Be certain that the box or fixture is
firmly mounted and all wires or other
obstructions around the opening are pushed
back out of the way. The 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.
Step 2: Slide switch to turn the tool on. While
holding the Sprial Saw® firmly with both
hands, plunge the bit through the mark you
made. Then guide the bit to the right until you
feel and hear the bit touch the inside edge of
the box (Fig. 8).
Step 3: Pull the bit out far enough to slip it
over the edge of the box so it is now against
the outside of the box (Fig. 9).
Step 4: While keeping the bit in contact with
the outside of the box move the tool counter
clockwise while applying light inward and
upward pressure until you feel and hear it
come to the corner. As you round the corner
apply light pressure left and downward (Fig. 9).
Step 5: While moving slowly and continuously
along the top contour you will feel the bit come
to the next corner. Round the corner and
apply light down and inward pressure until the
bottom corner is reached (Fig. 9).
Step 6: Move the bit right and upward
maintaining light continuous pressure toward
the box (Fig. 9).
Step 7: Round the right bottom corner and
begin moving the bit upward while applying
light pressure left toward the box until you
meet initial upward cut. Push Sprial Saw®
switch to off (Fig. 9).
Step 8: The completed box, executed quickly,
neatly, and in a fraction of the time taken by
other methods.
NOTE: These step-by-step instructions are
generalized to acquaint you with the Sprial
Saw’s® operation. After some practice, you
may develop a technique with which you are
more comfortable. However, you must always
begin the cut somewhat centrally, and MOVE
THE Spri al Saw® O NLY COUN TERCLOCKWISE to take advantage of the
“hugging” action of the bit along the contours
of the template. Remember to use a smooth,
continuous motion. The exception to this rule
applies to cutting window and door openings.
Since you are tracing around the inside of the
framing members, move the bit clockwise to
take advantage of the bits “hugging” action.
