Drill a pilot hole approximately one quarter inch (0.64 cm) outside

 

of the marked circle. This pilot hole is used as a starting point

 

for a saws-all or sabre saw blade. Cut around the marked circle

 

staying approximately one quarter inch (0.64 cm) outside of the

 

line. (This will allow the vent to easily slide through the opening.

 

The resulting gap will be covered up by the Vent Terminal cover

 

plate.) Repeat this step on inside wall if necessary.
