Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

Here we have chosen to rout the vent through an exterior wall. You may find it easier to run the vent through the roof. Mark the area you need to remove above your stove. Your hood may have come with a template for this. If not, hold your hood up to where it will be mounted and trace the area of your wall and trace inside the cut-out area intended for the vent. SAFETY TIP: Make sure you’re clear of electric and gas line before cutting the drywall.

STEP 2

Step 2

Next, cut around the area you just outlined with a Multi-Max tool and an MM452 Wood/Drywall & Metal Saw Blade. Once your cut is complete, remove the cut drywall and underlying insulation to expose the exterior wall. SAFETY TIP: Exercise caution when working with insulation and seek help if you have questions about safe handling measures.
