Take the new ceiling fan's mounting bracket, which the presenter refers to as a "four prong hanger dilly whopper." Align the bracket with the electrical box in the ceiling, finding two suitable holes on the bracket that match the screw points in the box. Insert the provided screws through the bracket and into the electrical box, starting them by hand if possible to ensure they are properly aligned. Use a power drill, like the DeWalt 20V MAX impact driver shown, to securely tighten the screws, making sure the bracket is flush and stable against the ceiling. Be cautious not to accidentally screw into any existing wires within the electrical box.
