UNDERSTANDING CAM FITTINGS
The bed cabinet is assembled using
what’s known as a cam fittings. This
system allows for easy and exact
alignment of parts and are what secures
the bed pieces together. There are two
parts to this system: the cam fittings (Fig.
A) found in hardware package #6 and cam
screws (Fig. B) found in hardware package
#1. When inserting cam fittings, it’s important to properly align the flat part
of the fitting with the edge of the board (Fig. C). Cam fittings are tightened
by inserting a #1 Phillips screwdriver at a slight angle through the top hole
and twisting until snug (Fig. D). Once tightened, cam fittings have an equal
holding strength as screws. Never use
an electric drill to tighten cam fittings,
always hand-tighten.

Turn cam fittings clockwise until snug,
being careful not to over-tighten
which can cause breakage.
