Work Area

Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and
dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use
containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small
components in separate containers prevents them from becoming
lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from
accidentally damaging the internal components.
