4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly is designed to be straightforward. All necessary accessories and tools are included. An electric screwdriver can be helpful, but use it with caution and at a low torque setting to avoid damaging the panels. Do not use a drill-gun.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all panels and hardware. Refer to the included diagram to identify each piece. The panels are typically labeled.
- Assemble the Frame: Follow the numerical sequence in the provided instruction diagram. Ensure panels are oriented correctly. The new assembly method uses larger boards for a stronger structure.
- Insert Dowels and Screws: Carefully insert dowels into pre-drilled holes. Use the appropriate screws for each connection. Hand-tighten screws initially to ensure proper alignment, then secure firmly.
- Attach Back Panels: The back panels are crucial for reinforcing the bookcase structure. Note that back panels may not all be identical; some are mirror images. Lay them out and match them to their correct locations to ensure all holes align before fastening.
