Fitting Instructions
Careful fitting is important but easy - We hope these notes will help. Once mats have been carefully and tightly fitted, it should not be necessary to lift at them (it should be noted that in very hot weather, the mats will expand slightly.)
Equipment
A tape measure, a piece of chalk, a straight edge, a hammer and a jig saw or Stanley knife.
 |
1. A jig saw with a timber cutting blade is easy and quick, but for a small number of mats a Stanley knife (with a new blade) is adequate. Cutting with a jig saw should be carried out by laying the mat flat on a pallet with the marked 'cutting line' just off the edge. By supporting the mat firmly in this way you will avoid excessive vibration while cutting. If using a knife, draw the blade firmly along the 'cutting line' with the mat flat and then open up the cut by bending the mat and repeating the stroke. |
