Paper Roll Rod (wood rod with slots on each end)

Hardware Pack (2 each: bolts, washers, & wing

Assembly:
Your Drawing Desk is packaged assembled and
ready for use.
To install feet, push the wood pegs into holes provided on the bottom edges of the desk. The feet are
meant to be easily removed, as you might want to take them off to lay the drawing desk flat. Feet will
hold your desk at an angle for comfortable use.
To use the Paper Roll Rod, slide a roll of Beka Art Paper over the rod. Orient it so the paper will unroll
from the bottom of the roll. Position the notched ends of the wood rod above the holes provided in
the desk assembly. Slide a bolt through the notch and through the hole, securing it with a washer and
wing nut as shown. Repeat this on the other end. Position art paper so it will move across the art sur-
face and under the wood paper cutter, which helps hold the paper in place during use. To tear off used
paper, place a hand on paper still on the art board to hold it in place. Tear the paper by lifting it up so
it is creased against the cutter, as you would with standard kitchen wrap.
Art Surface:
Your Drawing Desk art surface will support a range of projects using paper.
Chalkboard
:
REMEMBER TO SEASON YOUR CHALKBOARD BEFORE USING!
The green chalk-
board is shipped ready to use, but will perform best when
“
seasoned
”
before general use. To reduce
“
ghosting
”,
use the edge of a piece of white chalk to cover the entire surface with chalk dust. Remove
excess dust with a dry cloth or chalkboard eraser. The resulting surface is said to be
“
seasoned
”.
Use
chalk intended for chalkboards, as harder versions like sidewalk chalk can scratch the board
’
s surface.
Do not use water on the chalkboard, as doing so will remove the chalk dust used to season the surface,
and possibly damage the board itself.
Dry
-
Erase Marker board
: Use high quality dry
-
erase markers for best results. Test markers on a corner
of the board to insure easy erasure before allowing general use. Clean the entire surface regularly.
Markers can leave stains, especially if left on the surface for extended periods. If stains occur, many
may be removed with special whiteboard cleaners available in office supply stores (any
“
cleaners
”
used
to remove stains should only be used by adults). Do not use household cleaners (especially abrasive
ones) on the marker board surface. They can damage the clear surface coat that allows dry
-
erase
markers to be used.
