Getting Started
  • Make sure the on/off switch is set to off to prevent any accidental unwanted inputs to the machine

  • Apply heat to the leftmost pad as shown in the image, near where the back of the palm rests while in use.

  • Once heated, try to gently pry off the PTFE pad with a spudger or a guitar pick

  • Heat the adhesive again and try to pry it off in one piece so you can reuse it.

  • In my case, the PTFE came off without the adhesive, if you manage to get it all off at once, even better.

  • Now, using your T5 Torx screwdriver, remove the 2 screws as marked in the image.
