No.3 "Shield Anchor" Wall Plug
Heavy Loads
For use with heavier loads such as TV
& HiFi Speakers and Satellite Dishes etc.
No.4 "Cavity Fixing" Wall Plug
For use with plaster board partitions or
hollow wooden doors.
No.5 "Cavity Fixing - Heavy Duty"
Wall Plug
For use when fitting or supporting heavy
loads such as shelving, wall cabinets,
coat racks.
IMPORTANT:
When drilling into walls always check that there are no
hidden wires or pipes etc. Make sure that the screws and
wall plugs being used are suitable for supporting your unit.
Consult a qualified tradesperson if you are unsure.
HINTS:
1) General Rule Always use a larger screw and wall plug if you are not sure.
2) Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.
3) Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.
4) Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure the plug is fitting below the ceramic
tile to avoid splitting or cracking.
5) Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.
Types Of Walls
You can use one of the following types
of wall plug if your walls are made of
brick, breeze block, concrete, stone,
wood or plaster board.
No.1 "Standard" Wall Plug
General Wall Materials
These come in various sizes and are made
from plastic or sometimes wood fiber.
No.2 "General Purpose" Wall Plug
Aerated / Breeze Block
Generally aerated blocks should not be
used to support heavy loads, use a
specialist fitting in this case.
For light loads, a General Purpose Plug
can be used.
No.6 "Hammer Fixing" Wall Plug
For use with walls stuck with plaster
board. The hammer fixing allows it to
be fixed to the wall rather than the plaster
board. Always check the fixing is secure
to the retaining wall.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
SAFETY
Always check the fitting and
location to ensure your safety in
and around the home.
FITTING
From time to time check the fitting
to ensure the wall plugs or screws
do not become loose.

Dear Customer.
Please note that the product you have purchased is a
natural living timber.
Just like nature itself, wood varies in shape and colour.
Knots, vein patterns, resin pockets and colour differences
contribute to giving the piece of furniture its beauty and
form - a natural part of solid wood.
Although the tree has been cut down and dried, it is still
alive and therefore will react to high and low
temperatures, light, humidity, drought and time.
In cold and dry periods, the wood contracts which may
lead to small cracks in the piece of furniture. The reverse
happens in warm and humid periods where the wood
expands and this may result in slight unevenness.
The colour of the wood also changes with time,
particularly if the furniture is placed in a light place. This
is a natural process and part of owning a piece of
furniture made of solid wood.
Any flexing that has occurred during transport will
re-correct it self once this product is correctly assembled.
Tighten all joints of the furniture after six months.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future
use.
