Step 3
Removing the outer screws
- Remove the twelve #00 1 cm Phillips screws.
- Because the holes for the screws are deeper than the screw size, some of the screws may not come out even after you have completely unscrewed them. They will come out when you take off the outside cover in the next step, which is okay.
- Rotate the gun so that the front is facing you to remove the final screw.
