used on the landing (E02) (fig. 9).
26. Start modelling the handrails (A13), do not mark them in red and try to give them a curve which follows the
staircase as much as possible (fig. 1).
27. Start from the baluster (C03) on the landing (E02) and begin by securing the handrail (A13), which is slightly
bent. Use elements C64 with the screwer.
Warning: position the seam of the coating on the handrail toward the bottom.
28. Join to the other segments of the handrail (A13) tightening, gluing and shaping them one after the other. Use
elements B33, and D35. Position the thickest part of D35 towards the outside.
29. Saw off the excess handrail next to the first (C81) baluster the staircase using a hacksaw.
30. Complete the handrail (A13) by securing element A12 using elements C64 and the glue (X01) (fig. 1).
31. Insert all the other balusters into the treads L03, tighten element B02 and secure to handrail A13 taking care to
check their verticality, we recommend assembling the shorter balusters first.
32. Check the linearity of the handrail (A13) and correct using a rubber hammer, if necessary.
33. Complete railing assembly by inserting elements B82 into the lower part of the balusters C03 (fig.1)
Assembling the balustrade
34. Assemble column (C04) to element G01 protruding from the landing (E02) (fig. 8) (fig. 1).
35. Position elements F01, using elements C58, B83, B02 on the landing (E02). Drill the landing (E02) using a
Ø 5 mm point, maintaining the same centre to centre distance between the holes as the one used between the
balusters (C03) on the railings assembled before.
36. Position the shorter balusters (C03) and tighten elements B02 from the articles F01(fig. 1).
37. Secure element A15 to column (C04) using element B02 (fig. 1).
38. Secure the handrail (A14) marked in red using elements C64 (fig. 1).
39. Based on the position and the existence of walls around the opening of the staircase, one or two (C03) extra
balusters may need to be positioned (fig. 10).
40. I n this case, consider a space equidistant from the other balusters or from the wall. To secure these, we
recommend drilling the landing (E02) with a Ø 5 mm point and using elements F01, C58, B83, B02. We also
recommend drilling the floor with a Ø 14 mm point and using elements F01, B02, B13 (fig. 11). If necessary,
secure the balustrade on the landing to the balustrade on the floor, (fig. 10), model the handrails carefully,
following well secured curves. Any wrinkles that form on the inside of the handrails are not a defect, rub
energetically (generating heat) with a paper tower until they disappear.
Final Assembly
41. To further stiffen the staircase at intermediate points, secure elements F09 to the wall and join using elements
F33, with the balusters (C03). Drill using a Ø 8 mm point and use elements C50, C49, C58, B12 (fig. 12).
