Installation Procedure

1. Prepare a clean, flat work surface. 2. Measure and mark the desired cut lines using a suitable marking tool. 3. Employ appropriate cutting tools (e.g., shears, saws) based on the thickness and desired precision, ensuring proper support to prevent deformation. 4. Deburr all cut edges to remove sharp burrs and achieve a smooth finish.
