God yes, the re-assmebly info is VERY important to stop the washers and bearing from coming adrift during assembly. Trust me! You have to fit the blade into the handle and sqweeze the handle tight, then fit the screw and female part. Otherwise the bearing will move ONTO one of the washers. The blade will then be very tight and the lockbar will go over too far.
This is the only way to avoid this problem. Read Annes advice and follow it to the letter! Cheers!
