Electrical Power Outlet Kit
Instructions
THINGS YOU’LL NEED:
• Power Drill • 3/8″ Drill Bit • Philips Screwdriver • Flat-Head Screwdriver • Hammer • Box Cutter or Knife
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
Locate/mark-off (on the exterior of the safe) where you would like to drill the hole for the cord to run through to the inside of your safe.
Use the 3/8″ drill bit to drill only through the steel on the outside of the
safe. Once you get through the steel and to the fireboard STOP DRILLING.
IMPORTANT: Do not drill through the fireboard. It will tear the fabric on
the inside of the safe.* Please Note: Many safes already have a 3/8″ hole pre-
drilled in the bock of the safe. Please check before drilling the hole.
Take a
small flat-head screwdriver, insert into the drilled hole. Using the hammer,
lightly hit the back of the screwdriver to lightly chisel through the
fireboard until you hit the fabric on the inside of the safe.
Locate the hole positioned on the inside of the safe where the flathead poked
through. Use a knife or box cutter to cut an X in the fabric to create opening
flaps over the hole.
This step ensures you do NOT twist up and damage the fabric while drilling through the fireboord.
Drill
through the fireboard from the outside of the safe. Use a vacuum to clean up
any debris on the inside of the safe (from drilling through the fireboard).
Feed the power cord through the hole from the outside of the safe.
Ensure the power cord is not plugged into an outlet during these steps.
From the inside of the safe, take the wire connector and flip up all the orange
tabs.
Then, one-by-one, insert the exposed wire into the connector.
*Match up the cords with small writing across from each other.
(RECOMMENDED: First insert the cord with small writing on it into the
terminal, then line up the rest on that side)
After the wire is completely inserted into the terminal, flip the orange tabs
down to secure the wire.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND to wrap the entire wire connector and all loose wires in
electrical tape as a safety measure when installing this outlet unit in your
safe.
Electrical tape can also hide the wires and give a clean look to the cord.
