Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Drill a hole in the base material of the appropriate diameter (M12 anchor requires a specific drill bit size, consult technical specifications).
- Ensure the hole is clean and free from dust and debris. Use a brush or vacuum.
- Insert the shield anchor into the drilled hole, ensuring it sits flush with the surface.
- Place the fixture to be attached over the anchor bolt.
- Tighten the bolt firmly using an appropriate wrench. The shield will expand behind the base material, creating a secure fixing.
Compatibility:
These anchors are designed for use in solid base materials such as concrete, brick, and stone. They are not recommended for use in hollow materials or plasterboard without appropriate backer boards.
Care:
While made from durable materials, regular visual inspection for signs of corrosion or damage is recommended, especially in harsh environments. Clean away any accumulated dirt or debris. Ensure fixings remain tight, particularly in areas subject to vibration.
