Step 2
- With an electronic stud nder, locate the ceiling/wall stud closest to your desired location for the
KPM-590B.
- Once you identify the center of the ceiling/wall stud, use the ceiling plate as a template and mark
the mounting hole locations with a pencil.
- Place the ceiling plate into position against the ceiling/wall, aligning the mounting holes with the
center of the stud.
Step 3
- Remove the ceiling plate and set it aside.
- Next, drill a pilot hole in the center of each mark using a hand held drill and a 3/16˝ (4.7mm) drill bit.
Useful tip:
When a screw is driven into a material, such as wood, it can act as a wedge, generating outward
pressure which can cause the material to split. Drilling a small pilot hole into which a screw is then
driven, less 'wedging' takes place, thereby reducing the likelihood of the material being split. It
also prevents the screw head from getting sheared o by torque.
Step 4
- Place the ceiling plate against the ceiling/wall and line up the mounting holes with the drilled ones.
- For each hole use the W-C washers (4) and insert the W-A wood screws (4) to attach the ceiling plate
to the wooden stud.
- Once all screws are in place, tighten each screw with a Phillips screwdriver until the ceiling plate is
secured against the ceiling/wall, but do not over tighten the screws.
