Why It Matters
Patch panel work goes faster when the cut lands on the scribe line the first time. The depth gauge keeps the blade out of the panel underneath, and the rotating handle reaches areas a fixed-handle saw can't.
Installation Notes
Set the quick-set depth gauge so the blade cuts only the top panel, line up the laser-etched sight marks on the inside or outside of your line, and run it on a compressed-air supply that can deliver 4 CFM at 90 PSI.
