    • Unlock the four rubber feet by turning them 90° counterclockwise using your thumb or finger tip.

    • There is a tiny mark on every foot facing the bottom edge of the OP-Z. After turning them they should face towards the short edge where the on/off switch is.

    • If the bottom plate won’t come off you might want to make sure every foot is rotated correctly and gently tug on one of them.

Torx t4 screwdriver doesn’t work! Seems too big. Wasting too much money so far to fix something that shouldn’t have worn to breaking point so quickly. Gutted.
