Preparing the Table
Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed. Read the following information before making a cut.
Determine the best location for the enclosure
Ensure that the location where the Cable Cubby is to be installed is convenient for as many users as possible.
Ensure that the edge on which the lid opens is oriented correctly.
Ensure that there is ample space under the table for cables.
When installing retractors in the Cable Cubby, ensure that there is enough space for the retractor assembly under the table or
furniture (ee dimensions for the retractors below).
Choose a method for cutting the hole in the table
ATTENTION: The opening in the table for the Cable Cubby should be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople.
Exercise care to prevent scarring or damaging the furniture.
ATTENTION: L’ouverture dans la table pour le CableCubby devrait être coupée seulement par des artisans autorisés et
qualiés. Faites attention à ne pas faire de marques sur le meuble et à ne pas l’endommager.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when operating power equipment. Failure to comply can result in eye injury.
ATTENTION: Portez des lunettes de sécurité lorsque vous utilisez l’équipement électrique. Ne pas respecter cela peut
conduire à une blessure à l’oeil.
Choose one of the following methods for cutting the hole:
