The first thing that you need to do is to identify and mark the part numbers on the laser cut parts using the drawings on the 
following pages as a guide. 
 
It is possible that several of the laser cut parts may not be completely cut through. If this is the case you can free the part from 
the sheet quickly using an X-acto knife. 
NOTE: The slight discoloration on the edges of the laser cut parts may be removed by lightly sanding the edges with 400 grit 
sandpaper.
