Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the work area is clean and free of debris. 2. Precisely measure and mark cut lines using a calibrated measuring tool and a sharp scribe. 3. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., shear, bandsaw with appropriate blade) to achieve desired dimensions, maintaining straight edges. 4. Deburr all cut edges thoroughly to remove sharp fragments and prevent injury.
