H. Drilling And Cutting Acrylic DRILLING: Small holes can be drilled with a twist drill, but the cutting edge MUST be backed off with an oil stone (the sharp edge dulled). Large holes must be drilled with a hole saw. Maximum drill size-12mm. Drill speeds-6mm 1800 RPM-12 mm 900 RPM. NOTE: Always drill from acrylic surface. CUTTING: If for any reason the acrylic requires cutting, use a fine tooth hacksaw and proceed with caution. Edges can be smoothed with a second-cut file and medium-fine sandpaper. If the surface of the acrylic should happen to be damaged, it can be restored by polishing with an abrasive cleaner. Deep scratches can be removed by rubbing with 600 grade wet & dry sandpaper then polishing. I. Clean-Up After Installation Clean the area around the blower motor of all dust and debris. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface of the bath with airjets. Do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the surface. Do not use powdered cleaners unless the cleaner is fully issolved in water. Solid substances could block the airjets. Do not use bleach or ammonia cleaning solutions. Chemically active cleaning solutions can damage the bath surface. Refer to the homeowners guide for normal cleaning recommendations. BATH OPERATION Fill the Bath CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Ensure that the area around the blower motor is free of sawdust, insulation, dirt, or other small loose debris. Such material could clog the blower motor air ducts and reduce the air flow through the blower motor. NOTE: Please read these steps carefully before you operate your bath with airjets. Troubleshoot any problems using the "Troubleshooting" section. I. H. 12mm 6mm 1800 / 12mm 900 600 / -14-
