Do not use hammer and nail to punch holes in the sheet, as it may crack the sheet # Use only drills 4 After laying each sheet, screw the nuts lightly at first to hold the sheet in place. When a dozen or more sheets have thus been laid, tightenallthe nuts, # Donot screw the bolts oo tightly on the purlins 4 Alwaysuse good quality bitumen washer. 4 Use of power driven tools for cutting drilling is likely to induce hair cracks in sheets. PRECAUTION : The cutting or sawing of Asbestos Cement ‘products should be catried out in the open and notin a confined place, so.as to avoid concentration of dust from the material. This Precaution is recommended as the inhaling of dustin concentration, ‘snotin the interes ofthe preservation of health.
