How do the dowels and Minifix system work?
This is so important too! Every time you're using one of these connectors during the assembly, you should follow these same steps.
Wood dowels
They are little wooden cylinders.
- Put in the dowel inside the indicated hole and softly hit it until it's fully inside.
- When joining two panels together, don't forget to gently hit the panels to adjust the joint.
Minifix system
It's a joint compound of two parts: a spreading bolt and a Minifix cam.
- This is a Minifix cam. It has a little arrow on its upper surface.
- You should insert these cams with the little arrow pointing towards the drilling on the panel's edge (shown on the left).
- This is a spreading bolt. You should put it with the black plastic part facing down.
- After joining two panels together you should turn the cams 180° with a phillips head screwdriver to adjust and secure the joint.
