How do the dowels and Minifix system work?
Wood dowels
this is so important too!
They are little wooden cylinders.
1
Before inserting the
dowel, put a drop of
glue inside the drilling.
2
Put in the dowel and
softly hit it with the
rubber hammer, until it’s
fully inside.
Everytime you’re using one of these
connectors during the assembly, you
should follow these same steps.
Don’t forget to gently hit the panels to
adjust the joint.
3
When joining two panels together,
you should put another drop of
glue in the drillings where the
dowels are going.
Minifix system
It’s a joint compound of two parts: a spreading bolt and a Minifix cam.
2
You should insert these cams
with the little arrow pointing
towards the drilling on the
panel’s edge (shown on the
left).
3
This is a spreading bolt.
You should put it with the
black plastic part facing down.
4
After joining two panels
together you should turn the
cams 180° with a phillips
head screwdriver to adjust
and secure the joint.
