It is risky to hang heavy pictures on the wall with
only nails. Screws with fixings are able to carry
greater weight.
How to proceed:
To hang a large picture, you will
need to install several screws or screw hooks on which
to hang the picture. Use a spirit level to mark the
points for the holes. Then simply hang and align the
picture.
Before drilling, make sure that there
are no cables or pipes behind the wall. For this purpose
we recommend using a metal finder.
Drill the holes with the impact
mechanism activated.
Remove the dust from the holes with a
vacuum cleaner (a dust blower or simply by blowing). Be careful to avoid
getting dust in your eyes.
Insert the fixing and tap lightly
with a hammer to make sure that the fixing is properly
seated in the hole.
Insert appropriately sized screws
into the fixing and then hang the picture.
Equipment required:
To drill in masonry, you'll need your
Bosch impact drill.
In addition: Masonry
drill bit (diameter 4 to 6 mm), plastic
fixing (diameter 4 to 6 mm) and
appropriate screws or screw hooks (see the manufacturer's
specifications on the fixing's packaging).
