Do not tihten the TWIST-LOCK FASTENERS in this step.
Meet Parts (A and B). These
components have been enineered
to be lihter, stroner, faster…
well ok. Not technically faster. But
definitely makes for a sturdier
Lateral File that’s easier to assemble
and friendlier to the environment.

Some assembly
(and snacks) required.

Step 2
å Separate the EXTENSION SLIDES (40MC) from the EXTENSION RAILS (40MA) as shown in the upper diaram
below. Be prepared, the parts are reasy.
å Fasten the EXTENSION RAILS (40MA) to the ENDS (A and B). Use eiht SILVER 1/2" FLAT HEAD SCREWS (128S)
throuh holes #1 and #4.
å NOTE: For each EXTENSION RAIL, turn a SCREW into the hole shown in the enlared diaram. Then, slide the
inner cartride of the EXTENSION RAIL in to find the other hole that lines up with the hole in the END. Turn a
SCREW into this hole.
å NOTE: The EXTENSION SLIDES will be used later for the DRAWERS.
Push the black lever in and pull the SLIDE from the RAIL.
