Schritt 1

Place the tool on its side so the orange and white warning label barcodes are facing up.
The lever and battery base of the tool should point toward you.

Schritt 2

Use a 5.5 mm nut driver to unscrew the Hex nut.
If the Hex nut is not unscrewing easily- you can use a 3 mm Hex head screwdriver to hold the other side of the screw still.

Schritt 3

Flip the tool over and remove the black screw holding the tool together.
Get a good grip on the screw by using pliers to pull the screw out of the tool.

Schritt 4

Pinch the lever with your fingers and pull it up and away from the tool. The lever pops right off! You can squeeze on the lever, and it will come off just as easily.
When replacing your new lever assembly, make sure the black torsion (the black staple-like hinge) is oriented correctly.

Schritt 5

Lay the tool on its side so that the grey and orange warning labels are facing up upwards.
Use the JIS #1 screwdriver to remove the 10 screws holding the tool together.
