Choose the Correct Fit
Check the opening size, framing clearances and permitted drilling location. Nail resistance does not make hidden wiring or structural hardware safe to cut.
Fit the correct BIG HAWG arbor and a pilot appropriate to the material. Confirm the drill’s capacity for the saw diameter.
Installation & Care
Brace the drill and secure loose work. Follow the tool’s speed instructions and stop if the cutter binds.
Disconnect power before clearing the cup. Inspect the carbide teeth, brazed joints and pilot after hitting embedded metal.

Important Product Questions
Can this saw cut wood that contains nails?
Yes. Nail-embedded wood is a specified application, along with shingles, cement board, plaster and stucco. Check for other concealed objects before cutting.
Can I use the clean-wood pilot in abrasive material?
Choose the pilot for the actual material. A clean-wood pilot is intended for clean wood; use the compatible multi-material pilot for abrasive work.
Does this replace a finish-cutting hole saw?
Choose it for aggressive rough-in openings. If the exposed edge needs a fine finish, select the cutting tool and method specified for that material.
