ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: First disconnect electricity at the circuit breaker or
the fuse box. Disconnecting power by using the wall switch is
not sufficient to prevent electrical shock.

from the power supply source to the fixture location.
WARNING - Use supply wires rated 90°C or higher.
3. Slide the plaster frame along the hanger bars to the desired
position. Using pliers squeeze the guides of the plaster frame

A. FOR BX (ARMORED) CABLE - Break off one of the round
knockouts (FIG. 9) using a screwdriver. Secure an appropriately
sized BX cable connector to the knockout opening. Feed the BX
cable through the connector, providing 6” of slack inside the
junction box. Tighten the connector to secure the cable in place.
