Be careful to prevent panel deformation or damaged while opening the knockout
hole.
To prevent cutting of the wiring after the knockout hole was opened, remove the
burrs along the edge.
In addition, to prevent rusting, painting the edge with rust preventive paint is recom-
mended.
The piping can be connected from 2 directions; the front or the bottom.
(Knockout holes are provided so that the piping can be connected from 2 different
directions.)
Use the front knockout hole, as required.
