Figure H: Cutting Faceplate
Cutting Faceplates When Removing Side Sections:
Faceplates will need to be cut if side sections are removed
when not using a multi-gang faceplate. Place faceplate on
a soft cloth face down. Press firmly and score the groove
on the back of faceplate with a razor sharp knife, using
vertical groove to keep knife on a straight course. Bend
section back and forth to break it off. Smooth edges by
placing fine-grained sandpaper on a flat surface and
rubbing edge of faceplate over the sandpaper a few times.
Hold faceplate steady as you rub to keep a straight edge.
