Installation Procedure

1. Measure and mark desired cut lines on the polycarbonate sheet. Ensure accuracy to prevent material waste. 2. Using a fine-tooth saw or industrial cutting tool, carefully cut the sheet to the required dimensions. Maintain a steady speed and avoid excessive force. 3. Smooth all cut edges with fine-grit sandpaper or a deburring tool to remove sharp points and ensure a safe finish.
