Face of
Cam Housing
Correct way to tighten
your Cam-Lock system.
Cam Connector
Shoulder
must
be
flush with the surface
of the wood.
DO NOT embed
the shoulder into the wood!
1. Insert the Cam Housing so the arrow faces the Cam
Connector. To achieve tension and holding power,
you
MUST TURN
the Cam Housing clockwise at
LEAST
1/4 turn to the 9:00 position. Turning the
Cam Housing between 1/4 and 1/2 turn should be
enough to ensure rigid tension. Tension should be
initiated as soon as 10:00. You should receive
optimum tightness at 11:00. IF this does not occur,
tighten or loosen the Cam Connector to achieve
proper tension.
2. You may need extra tension if:
A.
The Cam Connector was screwed in deeper than
or not as deep as if should.
B.
If the furniture is repeatedly assembled and
disassembled.
C.
If you place a heavy load in the unit.
To achieve extra tension, tighten the Cam
Connector between the 11:00 and 12:00
positions.
