It also aligns and makes the switchgear level and doesn't mark the paint.
The stencil allows access to all fixing points on the wall plate, and clips on snugly to ensure that you get it right every time.
Works with both vertical and horizontal wall plates.

Instructions of use
For switchgear
1. Measure the position desired for the switchgear and trace the hole you wish to cut for a C-bracket.
2. Check for studs, metal brackets and power cords behind the plasterboard using a suitable stud finder.
3. If there are no studs, place the level and cut-out tool on the surface of the plaster board.
4. Check that the tool is level (horizontally or vertically) and draw around the stencil with a pencil or pen.
5. Using a Wall Board Saw, cut around the outline.
6. Place a C-bracket in the cut-out hole.
7. You are now ready for fit-off.
For Downlight Holes
- There are 3 holes on the template always use the hole at the 2.5mm as the pivot point
- For a 70mm Hole use the hole at the pivot (2.5mm) and the hole at 6mm.
- This will give you a diameter of 35mm
- Place a screwdriver in the pivot hole(2.5mm) and then in the 6mm hole use a pencil to mark the 70 mm circumference
- For a 90mm Hole use the hole at the pivot (2.5mm) and the hole at 7.25mm.
- This will give you a diameter of 45mm
- Place a screwdriver in the pivot hole(2.5mm) and then in the 7.25mm hole use a pencil to mark the 90 mm circumference
