Step 2: Position the Point Driver

Hold the frame steady on a flat surface. Align the point driver with the inside edge of the frame where you want to insert a point.

Step 3: Insert the Point

Firmly squeeze the handle to drive the point into the frame. Make sure it’s snug against the backing to hold everything in place.

Step 4: Repeat Along All Edges

Continue inserting points along each side of the frame—typically two to three per edge for stability.

Step 5: Check for Secure Fit

Gently press on the backing to ensure all components are held tightly in place.
