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.
Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS) are designated
by a number, threads per inch, and a length. For
example 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm].
This is a 4-40 SHCS that is 3/4" [19mm] long with
forty threads per inch.
• When you see the term test fit in the instructions,
it means that you should first position the part on
the assembly without using any glue, then slightly
modify or custom fit the part as necessary for the
best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely
upon your experience to decide what type of glue to use.
When a specific type of adhesive works best for that
step, the instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just epoxy is specified you may use
either 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute
epoxy. When 30-minute epoxy is specified it is
highly recommended that you use only 30-minute
(or 45-minute) epoxy, because you will need the
working time and/or the additional strength.
• Photos and sketches are placed before the step
they refer to. Frequently you can study photos in
following steps to get another view of the same parts.
