Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Align the fixing with the desired location on the plasterboard. Using a Pozidriv screwdriver (manual or power), pierce the paper skin of the plasterboard with the self-drilling tip.
Screwing: Insert the provided screw into the fixing and screw it in until the flange sits flush against the plasterboard surface. Do not overtighten.
Compatibility: These fixings are designed for use with standard plasterboard sheets. Ensure the plasterboard is in good condition and not damaged.
