2. Add plastic sleeves (washers) to both ends of the shaft. They fit tightly and require some
effort. You may put the sleeve on the table and push the shaft in with the negative end of
the battery. Leave a small gap so the sleeves are slightly above the surface of the knobs.
If you notice the burrs on the plastic sleeves remove them with a sharp knife.

3. Attach double sided sticky pads to the magnets. It does not matter to which side you attach
them as long as you use the same pole for all magnets. This is very important! If you do
not use the same pole for all magnets your motor will not work.
The easiest way to achieve it is to attach the pad to the top of the stack and then move top
magnet to the bottom; after you attach all seven pads your stack should look as shown. Do
not remove the second liner from the pads yet.
Neodymium magnets used in this motor are very strong! Be very careful – if they are
allowed to fly to each other they may shatter.
