5.2 Wall Mounting
To mount the WM4 on a wall, use the keyhole slots located on the back of the mount. Secure appropriate fasteners (screws, nails, etc., not included) into the wall, ensuring they are spaced correctly to engage with the keyhole slots. Hang the mount onto the fasteners, then slide it down to lock it in place. Ensure the mount is stable before attaching a laser tool.
5.3 Ceiling Trim Mounting
For ceiling trim applications, utilize the integrated clip and clamping screw. Position the clip over the ceiling trim or a suitable edge. Tighten the clamping screw until the mount is firmly secured. Verify stability before proceeding.
