Notice: Do not subject the tool to more than 100 Nm (75 ft. lbs.) torque. Exceeding the recommended torque may damage the tool and/or the

An open end wrench or adjustable wrench may be needed in order to prevent the T-bolt from losing the horizontal alignment with the
knockout.
-
If the torque limit on the T-bolt is met and the knockout does not break free, use a die grinder of appropriate size.
Using the stamped outline as a guide, remove the knockout.
Remove the wax coating in the knockout area in order to make the perforation lines more visible.
