−	~~''The Difficulty Scale is rated accordingly:''~~
−
−	* 1 = No tool required
−	* 2 = One tool required with little force required
−	* 3 = One tool required with a large force or accuracy required
−	* 4 = Multiple or specialized tools required with little force required
−	* 5 = Multiple or specialized tools required with a large force or accuracy required
−
−	~~===Final Assessment===~~
−
−	~~''Does your product run the same as it did before you disassembled it?''~~
−
−	The product still does not work. The pull start still gets jammed and slowly recoils, and the engine needs replacement parts in order to be repaired. Also, there is a hole in the crankcase preventing the chainsaw from ever working.
−
−
−
−	~~''What were the differences between the disassembly and the reassembly processes?''~~
−
−	During reassembly the same tools were used, however there is more detailed work required to make the chainsaw work. This includes a miniscule distance between the magneto and the flywheel, The timing of the spark plug must be accurately positioned, and the carberator must be tuned according to the manual. Overall we were able to reassembly the chainsaw with no problems.
