NOTE:
Important! Use scrap wood
as a backer board when drilling to
prevent splintering and damage.
This procedure will help ensure
the finish on the back side of the
headboard or footboard does not
splinter or become blemished. The
backer board should be large enough
and positioned properly, so when the
drill bit exits, it will hit the backer board.
1. Position backer board (not
supplied) on back side of
headboard or footboard to be
drilled
(See Figure A)
.
2. Clamp backer board to headboard
or footboard
(See Figure B)
.
3. Place masking tape over area
of hole to be drilled. Mark hole
location
(See Figure B)
.
4. Drill holes through from the face
side using a wood Forstner bit
according to bed frame’s drill
pattern
(See Figure C)
.
5. Discard backer board before
affixing headboard or footboard to
bed frame (Bed frame hardware
not included).
