PART 4 -- INSTALLING THE FALSE TREADS ON THE OPEN SIDE OF THE STAIR
1. Place the false treads on the open side of the stair and mark the length needed from
the face of one false riser to the face of the next false riser. NOTE: Always place the
false tread on the stair with the non-grooved edge towards the middle of the
stair. Also note that the tread has a Bottom side as indicated with a stamp. Cut

2. Cut the miter from the end of the 9" piece of moulding that will be towards the
middle of the stair O. (See Figure 4a & 4d.) Take care when cutting this miter off,
to make a cut that will leave a corner without the bead O. (See Figure 4a.) This
corner will be used to return the side moulding to the skirtboard at the back of the
tread P & V. (See Figure 4a & 4d.)
