When cutting out openings, take precautions to avoid injuries and not to damage FTU, furniture, or 
any  other  objects.  Use  a  retractable  hobby  knife  or  any  other  type  of  knife  that  is  suitable  for  the 
task. Try to make the opening as clean and even as possible; do not leave jagged edges, as these 
may obstruct straight insertion of the SC/APC adapter which will lead to problems with closing of the 
FTU case. 

To make cutting of the openings easier, guide  the knife at an angle 

of about 45º to the side of the 

cover wall, as shown in the following figures.

To make cutting easier hold knife at angle of about 45°
