Safety Precautions
Wall plugs provided are to be used in brick walls only. For other wall materials, source the suitable wall plug before use. DAS Audio Group, S.L., is not responsible for use other than the recommended or whether it be the result of insufficient strength of the support structure. Use only the screws and wall plugs supplied on surfaces that will provide sufficient support. Do not use on surfaces such as plaster, and gypsum. It is highly recommended and in most parts of the world mandatory, that a safety cable be used to secure the enclosure to the structure. To ensure optimum safety, the installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals replacing all deteriorated elements. Loosen the screws before reorienting the speaker. Never force the rigging elements. Contact a licensed rigger if there is any doubt.
