Place the bottom rail support (M) on the
nose of the tread that is nearest to the
center of the stair rail section. Trace the
bottom of the beam onto the support
and cut the support to match the angle.
Place the cut support in position under
the center of the bottom beam.
Drill through the beam perpendicular to
the tread surface using a ¼" drill bit. It is
necessary to drill the beam so the screw
will be positioned at the front edge of the
bottom rail support to prevent the beam
from bowing during installation (Fig. 13).
Secure the bottom rail support using the
supplied screw (H).
If installing a section longer than 6',
evenly space the two rail supports along
the span of the bottom rail.
Snap the bottom rail in place on top of
the bottom beam (Fig. 14).

NOTE: In 6' stair kits and stair baluster
packs, balusters come pre-cut at an angle
of 32°. If stairs are at a different angle, cut
balusters at required angle.
Insert baluster plugs into the bottom rail
with the rounded side of the baluster
plug facing the bottom of the stairs (Fig.
15).
Insert baluster plugs into the top beam
with the rounded side of the baluster
plug facing the top of the stairs (Fig. 15).
Insert the plugs all the way into the slots
so they seat completely (Fig. 16, A), then
push the plugs to the angle required (Fig.
16, B).
Tip :
You can use a rubber mallet to help tap
the baluster plugs into the bottom rail.
9.
Insert a baluster onto the  rst and last
baluster plug of the bottom rail (B) (Fig.
17).
Set the top beam (D) onto the two
balusters you installed (Fig. 18), allowing
the top beam to extend past the top and
bottom post for aligning your installation
angle.
