5. Align a bubble level with the top edge of the wall plate and gently rotate the wall plate
until the bubble level shows that the top edge of the wall plate is level.
6. Secure the plate to the wall using heavy masking tape.
7. Using the wall plate as a template, mark the locations of the two upper screw holes
and the three lower screw holes.
8. For a concealed wiring connection, trace the outline of the open area in the center
of the wall plate. Identify and mark a 1/2 inch hole through which the HandPunch’s
wiring will be mounted.
9. For a surface conduit wiring connection, mark the two conduit clamp holes at the right
side of the wall plate.
10. Remove the wall plate, masking tape, and the nail (if used).
1. For a hollow wall, use the provided hardware to mount the wall plate. Use the two
auger style fasteners for the upper two mounting holes. Use the toggle bolts for the
three lower mounting holes.
2. For a solid wall, use expansion bolts to mount the wall plate. For all five mounting
holes, drill a 1/4 inch diameter hole, 1/4 of an inch deeper than the length of the
expansion anchor.
1. Refer to Figure 3-2 on page page 15 for a template diagram to assist in routing wiring.
2. For a concealed wiring connection, drill a 1/2 inch hole in a convenient location within
the open area of the wall plate. Pull the wiring to enter the HandPunch through this
hole in the open area.
3. For a surface conduit wiring connection, drill a 1/4 inch diameter hole, 1/4 of an inch
deeper than the length of the expansion anchor for each of the two conduit clamp
holes. Route 1/2 inch, flexible conduit to the HandPunch, ending the conduit between
the two conduit clamp holes. Pull the wiring to enter the HandPunch through the
conduit. Pull 18 inches of wire past the end of the conduit to allow enough space for
final connection to the HandPunch.
4. Clear all dust and debris away from the HandPunch mounting location.
