4. Safety Information
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as safety glasses, when drilling.
- Ensure the wall surface is suitable for mounting and can support the intended weight of the shelf and its contents.
- Locate wall studs for maximum support. If studs are not available, use appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, concrete). The included anchors are for general use; consult a professional if unsure.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 60 lbs per pair of brackets. Distribute weight evenly on shelves.
- Keep small parts (screws, anchors) away from children to prevent choking hazards.
5. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Janyang shelf brackets:
- Marking: Determine the desired height and spacing for your shelves. Use a level to mark the precise locations for the bracket mounting holes on the wall. Ensure marks align horizontally.
- Drilling: Using a 6mm drill bit, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The depth of the hole should match the length of the wall anchors.
- Cleaning: After drilling, use a brush or vacuum to clean any dust or debris from inside the drilled holes.
- Inserting Anchors: Gently tap the screw holders (wall anchors) into the drilled holes with a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Mounting Brackets: Position the shelf bracket over the installed anchors. Use the longer screws provided to secure the bracket to the wall with a cross screwdriver. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.
- Attaching Shelf Board: Place your chosen wood board onto the mounted brackets. Use the shorter screws provided to secure the board to the brackets through the pre-drilled holes on the top surface of the brackets.

7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your shelf brackets:
- Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
- Periodically check all screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Inspect brackets for any signs of damage or corrosion, especially in humid environments.
8. Troubleshooting
- Shelf feels unstable:
- Ensure all brackets are securely fastened to wall studs or appropriate heavy-duty anchors.
- Verify that the shelf board is firmly attached to all brackets using the provided screws.
- Check if the weight on the shelf exceeds the 60 lbs per pair capacity or is unevenly distributed.
- Screws not holding in wall:
- Confirm that you are drilling into a wall stud. If not, ensure the correct type and size of wall anchors are used for your specific wall material.
- If the hole is stripped, you may need to use a larger anchor or relocate the bracket.
- Bracket appears bent or damaged:
- Discontinue use immediately. Contact customer support for assistance.
