Assembly Instructions

1. Clean up the gear teeth so they will mesh smoothly.

2. Place the planet gears on the plate in the same orientation they were when you
printed them.
3. Pin the planet gears in place by jamming the nuts into the holes.
4. Apply a small amount of clear drying glue to the business end of the wrench and
install it from the side.
5. Soften the clips using a heat source, such as a hair dryer or heat gun.
6. Align the bump on the clip with the hole on the back of the plate and press over the
ring gear.
7. Squeeze the clip as it cools to ensure that it is securely attached.
 8. Attach the assembled gear mechanism to the light switch cover.
