Locating Level Vial
Instructions
The rear base of the HC-450 Hole Cutting Tool hous-
es a level vial. This vial is used to ensure that series
of holes align. (See Figure 9.)
In the event that the hole location is angled by a cer-
tain amount, the vial can be rotated within the base to
reflect the deviated angle.
In new pipe installation, the vial can be pre-set and
used to repeat hole orientation. As long as the vial is
showing level, the hole angles will align.
