## Chapter 1: Detach the **Parts** from **panels** by cutting the **tabs**
|
||
|
||
|
||
👁 Locate the **panel S1** and discover the 5 differents **Parts F, P, K, J** and **I**.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
🎬 Flip your **panel S1**.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
🔴 Locate the outer **tabs** on the edges of the different **Parts**. These are typically small projections of material that are used to secure the case parts to the panels.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
Gather all the necessary tools. You will need the B2 🟠 **Razor blade** to cut the tabs.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- 🟣 Use the **razor blade** to cut the outer tabs located on the edges of the different Parts
|
||
- ❌ Do not cut the inner tabs present inside the different Parts for now and focus on the outer tabs attaching the Parts to the main panel.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Position your **razor blade** on the tab as close to the piece as possible to avoid residual tab after cutting.
|
||
- Press firmly on the razor blade, being very careful with your finger, to cut your first tab.
|
||
- Make sure you don't damage your table by placing a flat, rigid support under the **S1 panel**.
|
||
- Keep going with the other tabs of this piece F.
|
||
|
||
Once all of the tabs are cut, gently lift the case parts away from the panels. If the case parts are stuck or difficult to remove, you may need to gently wiggle or pry them loose using a flat tool such as a screwdriver.
|
||
|
||
!!! warning
|
||
|
||
Be extremely careful because this is very sharp.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Once you have removed your **Part** from the main panel by cutting off all the tabs holding it, inspect it for potential residual tabs.
|
||
|
||
- 🟣 Here is a **residual tab** that will need to be removed.
|
||
- 🟠 Here there is no **residual tab** which is perfect.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
🟣 Place your razor **blade flat** on the edge of your piece being very careful with your fingers and cut the residual tab.
|
||
|
||
!!! warning
|
||
|
||
Be extremely careful because this is very sharp.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Repeat the cutting of the **tabs** on all the **Parts F, P, K, J and I** present on the **panel S1**.
|
||

🔴 Locate the **inner tabs** on the edges of the different **Parts**.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Cut out the **tabs** inside of all the **Parts F, P, K, J and I** detached from the **panel S1**.
|
||
|
||
Dispose of the cut tabs and any other debris that may have been created during the detachment process.

|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Dispose of the cut tabs and any other debris that may have been created during the detachment process.
|
||
Inspect the case parts and panels for any damage or imperfections that may have occurred during the detachment process. If any damage is found, it may be necessary to repair or replace the affected parts.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Chapter 2: Place the 4 **Adhesive Pads** under the **Part I**
|
||
|
||
|
||
To secure the PlanktoScope on slippery grounds using the adhesive pads, follow these steps. Gather all the necessary materials. You will need:
|
||
|
||
- Time: 1 min
|
||
- 👁 and Take the Part I
|
||
- 🟠 Take the four adhesive pads present in the bag A.
|
||
- 🟣 Locate the four pockets that will receive the four adhesive pads.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Clean the bottom of the case part I. Make sure the surface is free of dirt, debris, and any other substances that may prevent the adhesive pads from sticking properly.
|
||
- Remove the paper and place the four adhesive pads in the pockets by pressing firmly on them, sticky-side down.
|
||
- Test the stability of the PlanktoScope by gently shaking or tilting it. If it feels secure and does not slip or slide, the adhesive pads have been successfully installed.
