Installation Notes

Installation of this hole saw requires a compatible arbor mandrel and a variable-speed drill or drill press. Ensure the workpiece is secured before beginning the cut to prevent binding or kickback. Follow applicable NEC or IPC guidelines when boring penetrations through fire-rated assemblies, and seal penetrations as required by local code. Always disconnect power or shut off water supply before cutting near live systems.
