Figured out these were available so I ordered one to tear down and have a look. I saw the ipl last year and couldnt wrap my head around it so I had hoped holding the parts in my hands would help....it didnt!
Overall impression:
I love it, easy to tear down and work on. I had about 45 minutes in the complete tear down and reassembly of the saw and never once had to go to the service manual for guidance on how something came apart or went together. Very smooth controls and perfect alignment/fit/finish of all the pieces/parts. Seems well built with metal inserts in the plastic, lots of gusseting of the plastic housing in important stress areas. T27 fasteners for 99.9%, remaining fasteners were phillips head screws holding reeds and the reed plates so.
Lets start off with some general pics.
