Screw Tightening Torque
Use the following torque when tightening screws.
CAUTION: Over tightening may damage screws or parts. Under tightening may allow
screws to loosen (and possibly fall out) causing a short circuit or other
damage.
NOTE: To tighten screws quickly and accurately, an electric screwdriver is
recommended.
M2 (2mm) 0.167 N·m (1.7 kgf·cm)
M2.5 (2.5mm) 0.245 N·m(2.5 kgf·cm)
M2.5 (2.5mm) 0.392 N·m(4.0 kgf·cm) for Hinge support
M3.0 (3mm) 0.245 Nm (2.5 kgfcm)
NOTE: To prevent damage to THIN HEAD screws, press along the axis of the
screwdriver while turning the screw. This is because the contact area between
the screw and driver is less than for a pan head screw (standard pan-shaped
screw head).

Even numbered length screws: Brown
Grip area
Odd numbered length screws: White
