Assembly Instructions – 4 Easy Steps

     1.  Connect the long arms by sliding the dovetail joints together firmly.

     2.  Stack the arms as shown in the image and insert the pins through the aligned holes to secure them.

     3.  Tighten the pins securely with the nuts against the shoulder to fix everything firmly in place.

     4.  Insert the lower end of the long arm with the dovetail joint into the base plate and attach the upper arm end into the hand piece, ensuring a snug fit.

Optional: You can apply glue into the openings at this step to make the stand permanent and prevent disassembly.
