TA-880

Flying a vertical column of TA-880 trapezoidal cabinets

When flying more than one cabinet deep you will need to use SW-880H swords to suspend and correctly position the second and subsequent cabinets. These make use of the internal sword boxes in the trapezoidal cabinet in the same way as the flying chain and dagger, and ensure that the entire weight of the column is taken through the metalwork and not through the woodwork of the cabinet. Note that there are two holes in each end of the flying sword; selection of these determines the vertical angle between cabinets and is explained in the table and diagrams below.

1.Lift the first cabinet high enough to allow access to the bottom of the cabinet. Insert SW- 880H flying swords into the cabinet from the bottom, passing them up through the box, and align them with the lower slots in the sword boxes. You will be able to judge the position of the sword by looking through the top handle box.

2. Secure the swords on both sides of the cabinet using SL-880 safety linch-pins.
