Never useany other fittings for attaching the strap to your furniture than those supplied.• Never use the screw provided to attach the wall attachment strap to the wall.NO WALL ATTACHMENT FITTINGS ARE SUPPLIED. This is because the type offittings required to attach the wall attachment strap to the chosen wall is determinedby the walls composition.If you are in any doubt about the correct type of fittings to use when attachingyour wall attachment strap, consult a professional before attempting to fix it tothe wall.• The wall attachment strap must not be used to replace any other fitting supplied withyour piece of furniture.• Furniture falling over is generally due to the surface it is placed on. A warped floor orwall-to-wall carpeting will enable the furniture to rock, so greatly increasing thepotential for the furniture to fall. If the furniture is placed on a flat level wood or tiledfloor the risk is reduced, but we still recommend the wall strap is fitted.- 19 -
