I found this posting as well which is where I realized you should use a regular hammer not the rubber hammer. Lightly hit it and it's all good. The inside had a bit of rust were the screw goes so I WD40 the whole thing now and will leave it off for the night. I'm not feeling well so I'll call it a night. Tomorrow I'll check the wiring and electrical before I plug it in for the first time. I also added grease on the motor gear because the little they added wasn't even on the gears. It's also comes with the plastic gear and the housing bolts were loose all around. So check this so that your gears mesh just right, not too lose or too tight. This may be why some also brake aside from trying to cut too much. Just my educated guess right now. And yes, the HF manual is useless. Fortunately my dad and I have both been learning today. He's never used one either so it's been good for both of us.
