so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
●
Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment shall not be grounded by metal within the wall.
Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.
●
To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.
