4. Make a dotted line, using the slotted holes along the bottom of the WHITE CUT-OUT
AREA portion, for the bottom edge of the hole.
5. Remove the template.
7LSIf necessary, use tape to hold the template temporarily in place (see TAPE HERE on the
template). Then run your pencil along the entire template edge, except where there is tape.
Cutting the speaker hole
You need a small saw or specialized cutting tool (for example, a keyhole or drywall saw)
for this step of the installation.
WARNING:
Use eye protection (Figure 15) and be sure to observe all safety precautions while
using the saw or cutting tool.

Caution against drilling

1. It is best to drill holes inside each corner of the rectangular outline you have drawn,
before you begin cutting. Insert the blade into the pilot hole and cut down and at an angle
until you reach one pencil line.
7LSWhile it is important to cut carefully, remember that the speaker frame overlaps the
wallboard by

/

inch (0.6 cm) when the speaker is in place. Minor cutting inaccuracies will be
hidden behind that frame.
2. Cut around three of four sides of the drawn outline, not all the way around (Figure 16a).
WARNING:
Keep fingers away from the cutting blade.
3. Hook your finger into the pilot hole to keep the wallboard from falling behind the wall, and
then make the final cut (Figure 16b).
4. Using your finger, pull out the piece of wallboard you have just cut.
