Hips Installation

Cutting

Use the guillotine to cut along the pre-marked cutting lines.

Bending

Place the tile in the bender and line up the marks showing the bend line. Operate the foot controlled vice mechanism to hold the tile firmly, and bend the tile upwards (Fig.7). Each cut tile will vary slightly in size, and as cutting and bending are done on the ground, it is very important not to mix up the individually cut tiles. Stack them in the sequence that they will be used (Fig. 8).

Installation of Cut Tiles

Install all cut tiles by nailing through the turn-up into the hip board, and one or more nails through the front edge into the battens (Fig. 9), starting from the bottom course.
