Step 3

              prepare to put the halves together
  • Regardless of how the halves are separated, to put them back together, it is practical to put the saw blade mechanism in the halve with the rest of the parts.
  • Then, make sure the right parts line up and are fitted correctly:
  • The holes for the blade holder. The axis is located on the other halve.
  • The blade driver.
  • The blade guide.
  • The metal strip.
