Installation Procedure

1. Ensure proper safety equipment is worn, including eye protection and gloves. 2. Accurately measure and mark cut lines on the aluminum sheet using a scribe or permanent marker. 3. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., abrasive saw, band saw, CNC plasma cutter) for precise material removal, ensuring adherence to cut tolerances. 4. Deburr all cut edges thoroughly to remove sharp fragments and prevent injury.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or poor edge quality.Select cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys and ensure blades are sharp and appropriate for the thickness.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during cutting or welding.Allow for expansion/contraction when making precise cuts or performing high-heat operations. Consider cooling methods if necessary.

Common Applications
