Important Safety Notices
General Safety Guidelines:
- Always use proper tools.
- Follow the assembly steps in order. Do not skip any steps.
- Check all packing materials carefully for small parts that may have come loose during shipment. Contact the retailer for any missing parts. Do not use substitute parts.
- Periodically check to ensure all connectors (bolts, screws, etc.) are tight.
- Keep these instructions for future reference.
- Be very careful when handling glass or mirrors, as severe injury may result if they break. Never handle large pieces of glass or mirrors by yourself.
- When assembling products with electric cords (lamps, lights, etc.), always ensure the electrical cord is unplugged before assembly and be careful not to twist the cord during assembly.
- When assembling shelves or entertainment centers, use a step ladder instead of standing on lower shelves.
- Do not stand on tables, as they are not designed to support a person's weight.
- If assembly instructions state that two or more people are required, do not attempt by yourself due to the risk of injury.
