LEVEL RAIL INSTALLATION
2.
Place rail panel across the opening and adjust
to ensure equal baluster spacing at each end
(Figs. 7 & 8). Mark each end of the rail panel
from post face to allow for bracket and/or weld
clearance (Fig. 9).
Before cutting the panel to size, protect the rail
surface from marring while cutting. The RDI RAIL
CUTTING JIG (73018283) is available through
your Excalibur dealer.
Hold the tool rmly and place the sole plate of
your jig saw against the saw guide portion of the
tool (Fig. 10), cut the excess material from the
end of the cutting tool.
The tool is now tted to your saw for consistent
and repetitive use without marring the rail nish.
This tool will help in effectively and accurately
cutting any similarly sized rail system. Snap the
cutting tool over the rail and cut at your mark.
Repeat for the remaining 3 ends (Fig. 11).
3.
Test t the rail panel. Once a proper t is ensured
all cuts must be painted prior to nal installation
(Fig. 12).
Set the panel in place. Pre-drill the screw holes
using a
supplied panel attachment hardware (Fig. 13)
(2 screws per bracket).
NOTE:
Rail ends may be painted with any zinc rich
primer or paint. For SATIN BLACK touch-
ups, we recommend Rust-Oleum
Canyon Black, Color Code 249844. For
BRONZE touch-ups, we recommend Rust-
Oleum
210880.
