KEEP DIY TOOLS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
Safety and Care Advice :
- Always take care when using power tools, particularly in the bathroom.
- Always check for hidden cables and pipework before drilling and take extreme care
if there is any water in the working area.
- It is advisable to use a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB).
- Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling.
- If the product is to be fitted on a ceramic tiled wall, a ceramic drill bit should be used.
- Always ensure that the drill hole passes through the central tiled area rather than
through the grouted area. To prevent damage to the tile, mask the area around the hole
with tape before drilling.
Additional Information :
- Maximum safe working load for the shelf is 2kg evenly distributed.
- Wall brackets can be removed by twisting the bracket in an anti-clockwise direction.
- Adhesive residue can be removed by carefully scraping the wall surface with a blunt instrument.
