headless screw in its place.
10. Remove the second M4x8 screw from the third tab and screw the sixth headless
screw in its place. After this step, the set should look as in fi g. 34.
11. This way you should have all the M4x8 screws removed and in their place

12. Stick a small piece of adhesive tape on the top plane of the tilt plate. Stick it on
