b. Conduct operations in a manner to protect adjacent and surrounding surfaces and
material to remain from damage. Do not damage substrates to remain.
c. Neatly cut openings and holes plumb, square, and true to dimensions required.
Use cutting methods least likely to damage construction to remain or adjoining
construction. Use hand tools or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding,
not hammering and chopping, to minimize disturbance of adjacent surfaces.
d. Cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces to avoid
marring existing finished surfaces.
e. Remove residual mortar, adhesives, or other matter, from material to remain, in
preparation for tie-in of new Work. (For example, where deficient brick has been
removed, remove mortar around perimeter of area in preparation for new brick
