Be careful not to scratch any parts when cutting away the wrapping.

Preferably store the sheets leaned up on their sides, but if flat must be on a very flat surface
and protected from scratching
•
Do not store the sheets in sunlight, the protective film will adhere to them
•
Do not allow the sheets to come in contact with PVC
CUTTING
Cutting aluminum extrusions with mitre saw, table saw or circular saw should be done using a fine
tooth carbide tipped blade for non-ferrous metal. Follow your tool manufacturer's safety guidelines.
Polycarbonate sheets can be cut with the same tools and blade mentioned above. Alternatively any
fine tooth panel or laminate blade. An air compressor is required to blow the cuttings out of the
