COMMENT

For large installations, it is recommended to use several sizing tools.

1. To adjust the sliding block, loosen the screw a few turns. Use a Phillips screwdriver to

do this.

2. Place the sizing tool on the short side of a panel.

3. Slide the sliding blocks against the side of the panel and screw them in place.

COMMENT

The sizing tool can also be set with a tape measure.

Marking the installation area

1. Using a tension line or chalk line, mark the outer contours of the field.

2. Mark the positions of the panel clamps. Consult the panel installation manual for this.

When using the LunaLiner, the spacing is 10 mm.

Laying method

There are two different methods for placing the panels, namely:
