Main risks

• Cuts or splinters when drilling or cutting the furniture and when handling edges or cable grommet covers.
• Pinched fingers from hinged lids or moving parts.
• Damage to cable insulation due to sharp edges, burrs, forced bends or compression, with possible overheating or failures of connected equipment.
• Trips caused by loose cables if they are not properly routed towards the floor or the skirting board.
• Detachment of the cable grommet due to poor fixing (adhesive or push-fit), causing unintentional strain on the cables.
• Ingress of liquids and spills into the cable area if the hole is left open or without a cover.
• Risk of ingestion or choking from small parts (rings, lids) in children and pets.
• Damage to the furniture from drilling in unsuitable areas or without checking what is behind.

Safe use

• Before installing, check that there are no hidden cables, reinforcements or conduits in the area of the furniture.
• If drilling or routing, use tools in good condition and protection for eyes and hands; work on a stable surface.
• Remove burrs and fit the ring or trim to cover the edges of the hole and prevent chafing on the cables.
• Disconnect equipment from the mains before feeding, reorganising or tensioning the cables.
• Do not force connectors through small openings; if they do not pass with adequate clearance, use a cable grommet of a larger diameter.
• Maintain a generous bend radius and avoid pinching the cables with the lid or the edge.
• Do not overload the opening: leave space for the cables to move without rubbing or being compressed.
• Route the cables neatly towards the side or the floor so that they do not encroach on walkways.
• Avoid contact with liquids and wipe up any spillage around the cable grommet immediately.
• For adhesive models, clean and dry the surface thoroughly and wait for the adhesive to reach maximum bond strength before loading cables.

Storage and maintenance

• Periodically check that there are no cracks, looseness, exposed edges or loose parts.
• Replace the cable grommet if you notice wear, deformation or edges that could cut the insulation.
• Remove dust, fluff and debris that accumulate in the hole, lid or brush to prevent blockages.
• For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid aggressive solvents and abrasive scourers.
• Check that the cables are not taut or crushed and readjust their routing if necessary.
• If an adhesive loses adhesion, replace it or change the fixing method; do not let the weight of the cables rest on the cable grommet.
• Store uninstalled parts in a dry, ventilated place, protected from sun and heat.
• Keep small accessories in closed containers, out of the reach of children and pets.

Usage restrictions

• Recommended for use in dry indoor areas; do not install outdoors or in areas with splashes or high humidity unless explicitly specified for the product.
• Do not use the cable grommet to bear weight, hang objects or as a handle.
• Do not pass damaged cables, cables with broken insulation or makeshift splices through the opening.
• Do not place the cable grommet near sources of intense heat, flames or items that reach high temperatures.
• Do not bundle a large number of cables in a single cable grommet if they will be heavily compressed.
• Installation and handling by adults only; ensure supervision when children are nearby.
• Do not modify or drill the cable grommet once installed; if the size is not suitable, replace it with one that fits correctly.
• Avoid making holes in areas very close to edges or joints of fragile furniture; in such cases, consider surface-mount solutions.
