3: Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.
4: Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure wall plugs are inserted
beyond the thickness of the ceramic tiles to avoid the tiles splitting or cracking.

correct wall plugs for your wall,seek professional advice. Failure of the product due to using incorrect
