Dear parent:
At Safety 1
st
, we are committed to developing a full
range of childcare products to help make your daily life a little
easier. When it comes to safety, we look at things from a child’s
perspective. Our in-depth line of child safety products is designed
to help you create a more secure environment for your child.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
USING THIS PRODUCT AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
Instructions for Assembly and Use
CAUTION: Always use a minimum of 2 straps (1 pair) per item. Additional straps should
be added for extra safety on tall and heavy furniture. We recommend adding 1 to 2
straps for furniture 4 feet and wider. Stacked furniture (2 piece units) like china cabinets
and hutches, need to be secured together, before fastening. For this we recommend
mending plates or straps (available at your retailer or your local hardware store).
Step 1:
• Locate the wall studs behind the furniture. Mark studs on both
wall and furniture top and mark height of furniture on wall. (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
Always use studs and mount each strap to a separate
stud. Furniture should be as close to centered on the wall studs as
possible.
Step 2:
• Slide furniture away from wall, allowing yourself enough room
to work. (Fig. 2)
Step 3:
• Using the brackets marked “wall” make marks on the wall studs for
pilot holes about 9” below the item’s top. Drill pilot holes with a
1
/
8
”
drill bit. (Fig. 3)
Step 4:
• Screw wall brackets into wall studs using the 1
1
/
2
” screws
provided. (Fig. 4)
Step 5:
• Locate the brackets marked “furniture” and the areas previously
marked on the furniture top in Step 1. Using these brackets, mark and
drill pilot holes so brackets are aligned with previous marks. Screw the
brackets into the furniture top using the 1” screws provided. (Fig. 4)
Caution: For furniture with particle board or thin plywood type
backing, brackets must be screwed into solid top or back brace.
When placing screws in bureaus, check before hand and make certain
they will not interfere with the normal function of the top drawer.
Step 6:
• Slide furniture back into position and hook silver buckle to strap
on furniture bracket. (Fig. 5)
Step 7:
• Pull strap on furniture
bracket until all
slack in the strap is
eliminated. Do this
for both straps.
(Fig. 6)
Note: Replace
brackets if they
become damaged
during use.
