2. Trace the outline of the template with your pen or pencil.

3. Remove the template from the countertop, leaving the marked spot for the sink.

4. Add painter’s tape around the outside edge of the marked line for the protection of the countertop before starting your cut.

5. Using the power drill, drill a starting hole for the saw in the area of the countertop to be cut out.

6. Carefully cut out the needed section, using the proper saw type for your countertops.

7. Turn over the countertop and place the sink over the cutout.
   Trace the outside of the sink with a pencil or marker. Mark the location of the mounting brackets and remove the sink.
   NOTE: the underside of the sink has a marked spot of each of the mounting brackets. It is important to use all brackets provided on your sink.
