Installation Procedure

1. Clean all surfaces thoroughly to remove any grease, oil, or contaminants. 2. Accurately measure and mark cut lines according to project specifications. 3. Use appropriate cutting tools (e.g., abrasive chop saw, band saw) designed for aluminum, ensuring a clean and precise cut. 4. Deburr all cut edges to remove sharp burrs and ensure safety during handling and subsequent fabrication.
