Installation Procedure

1. Accurately measure and mark cut lines on the polycarbonate sheet using a fine-tip marker and straight edge. 2. Utilize a high-speed cutting tool equipped with a fine-tooth blade designed for plastics (e.g., a circular saw with a carbide-tipped blade) to make precise cuts, ensuring proper support to prevent vibration. 3. Drill mounting holes using a sharp drill bit designed for polycarbonate, employing a slow speed and moderate pressure to avoid cracking or chipping.
