Einleitung

Regularly cleaning the gears removes dirt and grime that would otherwise keep the gears from moving easily. Be sure to do this indoors in a clean environment to avoid additional dirt build up.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Place the lens face up to locate the bottom cover.
Remove the two 7mm screws using a J0 screwdriver.
Remove the six 4.3 mm screws using a J0 screwdriver.

Schritt 2

After the screws are removed, the bottom cover should easily pry off.

Schritt 3

Using a J0 screwdriver, remove the 4mm screw holding the metal plate to expose the gears.

Schritt 4

Using a pair of tweezers, gently remove the metal plate covering the gears.
Part of the plate's tab fits into a socket. Try to pivot around it when removing the plate to prevent bending the plate.
Be careful with the gears because some may be loose.

Schritt 5

Use tweezers to rotate gears or remove any large particles obstructing their rotation.
Smaller particles can be cleared using a microfiber cloth only. Other fabrics may leave residual fibers.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
