Be sure you have good tools!.  Buy a new, high quality #1 Phillips Screw Driver and use it.  Round up all the Reed and Prince cheap screwdrivers that you bought at the bargain store and preferably throw them away, if not keep them with the punches, that is all they are good for.  Buy a static mat, read the instructions and use it.  Read the construction manual from front to back.  If you don't understand them, read them again and again until you do.  If you still don't understand them, get help until you do.  Before you do anything read the appropriate part again so you really know what to do.  Follow the instructions in the order the manual prescribes and be sure you understand each step.  When you need to plug in a part, make sure that you have the right plug and socket then use as much force as required to seat the plug fully.  When assembling something, if it will not go, loosen some screws so you can move it a little then be sure to
 tighten them before you go on.  There is no magic formula, just be careful and forget the hi-hi until you are sending Morse.  It is easy, but every step is important and must be done correctly.
