PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pro-Cut
®
Starter Strip protects the roof edge and provides the hold down features needed to provide high wind resistance at the critical roof areas of the eaves and
rakes. The Pro-Cut
®
Starter Strip protects the roof by filling in the spaces under the cut-outs or shingle edges for the first course of exposed shingles.
* Due to manufacturing tolerance nominal sizes may vary slightly

USES
The Pro-Cut
®
Starter Strip is designed as a starter course before installing the first course of shingles. The Pro-Cut
®
Starter Strip is an easy, cost saving
alternative to the traditional method of cutting tabs from 3-tab shingles to form a starter course. The Pro-Cut
®
Starter Strip may also be used as a rake edge strip
to prevent wind uplift of the field shingles.
APPLICATION
Pro-Cut
®
Starter Strips can be installed starting at either end of the eave. Begin installing the starter strips from the same end you intend to start the first course
of field shingles.

Position the cut starter strip along the bottom of the eave at the rake edge making sure the self seal adhesive line is facing up and nearest to the lower edge of
the eave. Position the fasteners so they will not show through any cutouts of the first shingle.
