Cutting Round Openings into Panels with Hole Cutting Tool
1.
Remove the panel with sticker “Cut This Panel for Duct
Connection” from the Perfect 16 system. Detach the insulation
from the panel.
2.
For round openings, adjust the cutting tool to the right position
and fix it in the center hole of the panel.
3.
Cut the panel and remove the inner part. The panel can be
customized to fit your transition. Never cut a panel with a
Swiss cross.
4.
Fit the insulation back into the panel. Lay the panel on a hard
protected surface. Using a sharp blade, cut the insulation along
the panel opening.
5.
Remove the insulation again. The insulation now has the same
opening as the panel.
6.
Install the dove tail collar on the front of the panel by folding
some “teeth” to the outer side which will support the collar on
the panel.
7.
Turn the panel over and fix the collar by folding the rest of the
“teeth”.
8.
Screw the collar tightly on the front side by fixing the “teeth”
with metal screws.
