Do not hammer key! For thick walls (over 1/2"
thick), do not pop open wings.

Mounting Wall Switch Assembly to Side
of Mantel
7. Create three openings in the mantel wall ac-
cording to Template 2, page 35. This is best
done by making a pattern to work with on the
mantel. Carefully cut page 35/36 from manual
and tape paper template vertically onto mantel
wall at preferred location. Pierce the paper at
the centers of the 2 holes with a nail or sharp
pencil, leaving a mark on the wall. Do the
same at centers of the four circles near the
corners of the rectangle.
8. Remove paper template from mantel wall.
9. Drill 1/8" pilot holes at each mark for top and bot-
tom screw holes. Drill 3/8" holes at each mark for
centers of four circles near corners of rectangle.
10. Using a straight edge and pencil, connect the
outer edges of the 4 holes for the rectangle (see
Figure 10). This will give you cutting lines for
the rectangle you will cut in the mantel wall.
11. Using a keyhole saw, hack saw blade, drill,
file, or other suitable tool, carefully cut out the
rectangular opening.
Note:
The corners of the
rectangle may be round.
IMPORTANT:
Do not
exceed the size of the rectangle on template.
12. Carefully pass wall switch assembly through
rectangular opening from inside mantel (see
Figure 13).
13. Position wall switch assembly vertically over
opening with decal lettering upright. Make
sure wires freely pass through wall without
binding. Align holes in wall plate with 1/8"
pilot holes in mantel wall.
14. Drive mounting screws, removed in step 2 of
Relocating Wall Switch Assembly
on page 10,
through wall plate holes and into pilot holes
in mantel wall.
15. Tighten screws until wall switch assembly is
firmly attached to mantel. Do not overtighten.
