Sanus Wall Mount

One of the benefits to owning a flat panel television is the ability to wall-mount, freeing up floor space and offering expanded design options. With a large selection of wall mounts---and very thin flat screens---these television sets are becoming almost as easy to hang as a large picture. A few common tools is all that is required to mount a 50-inch television.

Instructions

1 Locate two studs on the mounting wall with the stud finder. Place the wall bracket portion of the mount against the wall, and align with the studs at the desired viewing height. Mark at least four bolt hole locations through the wall bracket using the pencil.
2 Drill the marked locations with the drill and the 3/16-inch bit. Place the wall bracket back against the wall, aligned with the drilled holes.
3 Insert the supplied lag bolts and washers into the drilled holes, and hand-tighten a few turns. In a crisscross pattern, tighten the bolts fully using the socket wrench and the correct socket that fits the head of the bolt.
4 Place the TV bracket section of the wall mount against the back of the TV, aligned with the threaded bolt inserts. Insert the supplied bolts and washers through the holes in the bracket, and into the threaded inserts. Tighten these bolts using the appropriate screwdriver.
5 Lift the TV onto the wall bracket. Pause for a moment in front of the set to ensure that the wall mount is secure. Place the level atop the set, and fine-tune the alignment using the adjustment screw on the rear of the bracket. Tighten this fully when satisfied. Tighten any other security screws as needed, depending on the model of the mount.
