Compass
  Saber Saw
  
Belt Sander
 
Framing Square
  Tape Measure
  Caulking Gun
  3/8" Variable Speed Drill
  5/8" Spade Bit

PROCEDURE:  
1.  If fitting between walls or cabinets use the tape measure to determine if the countertop is the proper size to fit the opening.
   

*NOTE: It is recommended that you provide 1/16" of clearance between the counter top and the wall to make installation easier.
2. 

After the top has been fitted to the opening check the gap between the countertop and the wall.  If it is less than 1/8" you can caulk it.  If it greater than 1/8" you can proceed to step #3.
 
3.  Go to the point of the widest gap, using the compass set the metal leg against the wall and the leg with pencil in it so it just puts a mark on the edge of the top closest to the wall.  Now holding the metal leg of the compass against the wall, draw a line down the entire countertop.
   

*NOTE:  If the maximum gap was greater than 3/8" you must set the compass for 3/8" regardless, as there is only 3/8" of material provided for scribing.
4. 

Using the belt sander remove the excess material up to the edge of the pencil line.
 
5. 
Use the framing square or sink template to lay out the sink opening.  Use the 5/8"  spade bit to start the opening and finish cutting with the saber saw.
 
6. Secure to cabinets from underneath cabinet corner blocks with screws.
   
*NOTE: Make sure the screws are not long enough to go through the top.
