Chapter 2:
Bed Cabinet assembly.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
Position the “
Bed
Cabinet Right
Side” on its edge
with notch for the
baseboard facing
up and position the
top assembly from
previous step with “Bed Cabinet Toe
Kick” closest to the wall where bed will
be attached. Slide in direction of arrows
and tighten all cam fittings. The Toe Kick
cams face up and tighten from the top
side. The unfinished side of the Toe Kick
will be exactly flush with the unfinished
edge of the cabinet side. If there is
a 1/4” difference, turn the Toe Kick
around 180 degrees (use the other two cams on the opposite side).
STEP 2
FIG. 2B
OVERVIEW:
You’ll now assemble the Bed Cabinet on the floor
directly in front of the wall where the
bed will attach
, then tilt the unit up. To do this, you’ll need
at least 3 extra inches of height clearance
.
If the height of your room is shorter than this, you’ll have to assemble the Bed Cabinet vertically.
CAM FITTINGS/SCREWS ARE OFFSET TO PREVENT THE TOP NAILER FROM BEING
INSTALLED BACKWARD. FROM THE VIEW ABOVE THE CAMS ARE FACING THE
CAMERA. ONCE ASSEMBLED, THESE WILL FACE THE WALL THE BED WILL ATTACH
TO AND NOT BE VISIBLE. DO NOT RE-DRILL HOLES IF THE CAMS DO NOT ALIGN.
FIG. 2A
Lower “
Bed Cabinet Top Nailer” onto “Bed Cabinet Top” as
shown in Fig. 2A and tighten cam fitting using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. Note: Make sure cam fittings are facing toward and
aligned to this back edge of the “
Bed Cabinet Top” as illustrated
below.
Reverse the top nailer (rotate end-to-end) if the edges
don’t align (the cams are intentionally offset to one side).
STEP 1
Cam fittings should be turned approx. 1/4 turn until snug.
Over-tightening can cause them to break.
