Step 1. Attaching the Shelf Brackets to the Shelf: Position the shelf face down on a working surface that won't scratch the face of the shelf.
Locate and position (1) left and (1) right shelf bracket onto the shelf as in Illustration A. It is possible to attach the table brackets
incorrectly, so please make sure your shelf assembly looks exactly like Illustration A. Insert (1) 8-32 SEMS screw through the hole in the
shelf bracket then into the corresponding threaded brass insert that is molded into the shelf. (Note: If you are at all like me, you can't resist
using your new cordless driver / drill for all your fastener installation needs. I strongly urge you to resist temptation and leave the power
tool on the workbench. The plastic material the shelves are made of is some of the best available, but even it has it's limitations and if you
use a power tool to tighten the fasteners you may prove my point) Use a #2 Phillips hand held screw driver to start the screw into the insert,
repeat this at the remaining (3) locations then gently tighten all (4) screws.
STEP 2. Attaching the drop brackets (This assumes you have already installed the optional side shelves). Install (1) ¼" clinch stud into each
drop bracket as in (Illustration B) and finger tighten. Install (1) ¼" keps nut on each clinch stud and hand tighten only. Remove the front
keps nut from one of the side shelf brackets, place the corresponding drop bracket onto the clinch stud and reinstall the keps nut and finger
tighten only (Note: the drop bracket goes on top of the interface bracket). Repeat this for the opposite side drop bracket. (Illustration C)
