IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet Metal Screws are designated by a number
and a length. For example #6 x 3/4" [19mm].
This is a number six screw that is 3/4" [19mm] long.
Machine Screws are designated by a number,
threads per inch, and a length. For example 4-40 x
3/4" [19mm].
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" [19mm] long
with forty threads per inch.
• When you see the term test fi t in the instructions,
it means that you should fi rst position the part on
the assembly without using any glue, then slightly
modify or custom fi t the part as necessary for the
best fi t.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely
upon your experience to decide what type of glue to use.
