Directions
Step 1
Familiarize yourself with the appropriate panel installation guide. Orient yourself to the panel and locate the lip, fingers and slots to determine the installation direction. Figure A
Step 2
Set the saw to a 45 degree angle, with the textured front of the panel facing up and the lip away from you, make a 45 degree cut. Figure B
Step 3
Set Side A aside. Flip side B, so that the textured front of the panel facing down and the edge from the previous cut is towards the saw blade, make a second 45 degree cut as close to the end of the panel as possible. Discard the section that was just removed. Figure C
Step 4
Using standard installation instructions, mount the first section of the cut panel.
Step 5
Mount the second section of the cut panel paying close attention to the corner seam. Use paint from the touch up kit to conceal the seam. Figure D
