Mounting Wall Switch Assembly to Side of Mantel

Create three openings in the mantel wall according to Tem-
plate 2, page 39. This is best done by making a pattern to work
with on the mantel. Carefully cut page 39/40 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.

Remove paper template from mantel wall.

Drill 1/8" pilot holes at each mark for top and bottom 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, page 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 suit-

able 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 open-

ing 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 pages 9 and 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.
