5. Loosely attach the lock case assembly
to the container wall with two of the
four mounting screws, placing them
diagonally across from each other.
6. Tighten the lock case mounting screws
to hold the lock case in place. (See
Figure 6.)
CUTTING THE TUBES
Warning:
The end of the large tube that
is to be discarded must be from the plain (unfl ared) end of the tube. The end of
the small tube that is to be discarded must also be from the plain (unnotched)
end of the tube.
1. Make sure that the outer tube is properly placed over the lock case
tube retainer.
2. While holding the outer tube fi rmly in its seated position, use a 6 inch scale or
ruler to measure 5/16 inch from the container wall and mark the outer tube at
this length.
3. Remove the lock case assembly from
the container and remove the outer tube
for cutting.
4. Assemble the saw blade and wooden
saw handle provided. To assemble the
saw, grip the saw frame in a vise, just
below the neck. Drive the handle fully
onto the neck. (See Figure 7.) This will
reduce the tendency of the handle to
turn on the saw frame when sawing.
Note:
This saw is intended only for
cutting the tubes. A standard hacksaw
should be used to cut the spindle.
5. Insert the tube to be cut into the rubber
vise clamp (provided), with the mark just
beyond the clamp. Then fi rmly clamp
the rubber vise clamp in a vise. (See
Figure 8.) Use the saw to cut the tube
where marked. Be careful to keep the
cut as straight as possible. Remember
the saw only cuts when pushing. Trying
to cut while pulling may pull the handle
off of the saw blade.
