Step 2

              Preparing the Aluminum Profile and Connectors - Part 1
  • 8 x hammer nuts B-type nut 8 [M6]
  • 8 x T-diaphragm connectors for 8 x M6x35 cylinder screws
  • 2 x 320mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8
  • 2 x 360mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8

8 x T-diaphragm connectors for 8 x M6x35 cylinder screws

2 x 320mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8

2 x 360mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8

Step 3

              Screwing Connectors Into the Aluminum Profile
  • Clamp the aluminum profile and use the drill to screw a connector into it clockwise. Use a T40 bit for this.
  • Screw 2 connectors into each of the opposite grooves.
  • Important: Before the connectors on the other side are screwed in, insert the included screws into the groove.
  • Screw-in two connectors in the same groove on the other end of the profile.

Clamp the aluminum profile and use the drill to screw a connector into it clockwise. Use a T40 bit for this.

Screw 2 connectors into each of the opposite grooves.

Important: Before the connectors on the other side are screwed in, insert the included screws into the groove.

Screw-in two connectors in the same groove on the other end of the profile.

Step 4

              Aluminum Profile Assembly
  • Attach slot nuts to the screws on the aluminum profile (320mm) and slide them into the larger (360mm) aluminum profile.
  • With the help of another aluminum profile (size doesn’t matter) and a screw clamp, attach the smaller aluminum profile to the “helper profile”.
  • Slide the larger aluminum profile at a right angle into both of the other profiles.
  • Tighten the screws of the connectors with the 5mm Allen wrench.

Slide the larger aluminum profile at a right angle into both of the other profiles.

Tighten the screws of the connectors with the 5mm Allen wrench.

Step 5

              Creating a Square
  • Repeat “Step 4” four times with the 4 aluminum profiles to create a square.
  • Use the right angle tool to check and make sure there is a right angle.

Step 6

              Preparing the Aluminum Profile and Connectors - Part 2
  • 8 x hammer nuts B-type nut 8 [M6]
  • 8 x T-diaphragm connectors for 8 x M6x35 cylinder screws
  • 2 x 330mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8
  • 1 x 360mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8

2 x 330mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8

1 x 360mm aluminum profile 30 B-type nuts 8

Step 7

              Screwing Connectors Into the Aluminum Profile - Part 2
  • Clamp the aluminum profile and use the drill to screw a connector into it clockwise. Use a T40 bit for this.
  • Screw 2 connectors into each of the opposite grooves.
  • Screw-in two connectors in the other groove on the other end of the profile.
  • The connectors at the top and bottom of the profile are not in the same groove.

Screw-in two connectors in the other groove on the other end of the profile.

The connectors at the top and bottom of the profile are not in the same groove.

Step 8

              Creating a U-Shape
  • Repeat the instructions for step 4 and create a U-Shape.
  • Check that there is a right angle with the angle tool.

Repeat the instructions for step 4 and create a U-Shape.

Check that there is a right angle with the angle tool.

Step 9

              Connecting the Square and U-Shape
  • Place the U-Shape at 114mm
  • Fasten the helper profile to the aluminum profile with screw clamps.
  • Tighten the screws of the connectors with the 5mm Allen wrench.
  • Repeat the whole thing on the other side.
  • Use the steel angle to check if there is a right angle.

Place the U-Shape at 114mm

Fasten the helper profile to the aluminum profile with screw clamps.

Repeat the whole thing on the other side.

Use the steel angle to check if there is a right angle.

The aluminum profile frame is now fully assembled.
