Position blade in hole on the underside of the pivot arm as shown with the flat side toward the set-screw hole. Use extreme care - blade is razor sharp! Match blade position to cutting base. Insert set-screw in side hole and tighten. See Fig 2. Click here.

Step 3

When blade makes contact with drywall, continue rotating handle approximately 10 full turns, until a cut has been made completely through the drywall. With 9" or 12" cuts, make 2 to 3 clockwise revolutions, than make 1 counter clockwise revolutions, to clear paper debris, repeat process until hole is cut. See Fig 4. Click here.

Step 5

PULL OUT DAMAGED SECTION - Pull the cutting base attached to damaged section of wall straight out.

Step 6
