The top cover is fastened with two Torx TR10 security screws. These screws are different from normal Torx screws: they are equipped with a center pin. Use the right bit or screwdriver with center hole.
Remove two Torx TR10 screws.
Carefully lift off the cover. It is latched at the front.

This is what it looks like under the cover.
Slide out the two buttons and the small circuit board. The buttons are only snapped in.

The handle is fastened with a Torx T8 machine screw and a Torx T8 plastic screw. You will need a long screwdriver.
Remove two Torx T8 screws.

Unclip the handle from one side.
Unthread the cable, the buttons and the board.
The motor ist exposed. However, it is not yet completely accessible, since the lower plastic housing part cannot yet be slid over the bell. The bell must first be removed.

First try If the bell can be unscrewed. It is fastened with a left-hand thread, so turn it in the "wrong direction", clockwise, to loosen it.
Pull on the knife to remove it
The bell sits probably quite tight, as it should not come loose during normal operation. When reassembling, glue it in place with a few drops of fluid threadlocker, if needed.
If it does not come off easily, then slide the lower plastic part towards the bell and clamp the motor in a vice. Do not tighten the vice very much, the motor is sensitive.
Use a long screwdriver as a lever between the bell and the shaft. Then carefully unscrew the bell. Reminder: the wrong way round, i.e. clockwise.
Pay attention to the washer between the shaft and the bell, do not lose it.
