Holes punching for access to the ventilation shaft. To do this, you can use an electric perforator or a special diamond cutter, which reduces the likelihood of cracks. It is important to note that when breaking through, it is necessary to provide the corresponding diameter of the hole in order to avoid reducing the performance of the extract.
