Installing and Cutting Mohawk's InstaForm Profile
CAUTION: The edge of the cut profile can be very sharp. Be sure to wear gloves when handling the raw edges, and sand the edges prior to installation.
Cut the entire InstaForm profile to the desired length with a saw prior to using the cutting tool. Use the enclosed cutting/sanding tool to remove the one or two pieces of the profile as necessary to obtain the desired shape. Slide the cutting tool in a smooth movement on the length of the profile, and then take off the piece to be removed. Sand any unevenness by using the sander found on the edge of the tool.
The molding profile you select will be put in place via the included rail track. You’ll attach the rail to the floor and then press the molding into place. You can use screws to attach the plastic rail to the floor. Use the pre-drilled holes between the raised legs of the rail, but be aware of any pipes that may be in the floor below.
For installation of floors of more than 9 mm, snap off the long lip of the rail at the notch over the entire length of the rail. Insert this lip under the rail to compensate for the different in height with the floor. Firmly anchor both pieces to the ground with screws.
See image below for the highlighted sections to cut off:
