Tools And Equipment
Tools and equipment required to complete the installation can vary depending on the task at
hand and type of construction method employed. Below is a list of tools and equipment used
in the installation procedures outlined in this Guide. Techniques may vary.
Installation of the Portal MUST BE COMPLETED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER familiar
with sheet metal manipulation/modifications. Cutting or drilling into metal cages can
produce sharp or jagged edges which could cause serious lacerations which, if not
avoided, could result in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, such as, but not limited to, eye
protection, ear protection, and gloves during installation. Failure to do so could result
in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Be sure to secure long hair or loose fitting clothing during installation. Long hair or
loose fitting clothing can become ensnared on exposed (cut) stainless steel edges and
cutting tools, and if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Ensure the tools are properly maintained. Drill bits and cutting heads should be in
good order. Use drilling oil as required.
