As someone who works in manufacturing this makes prefect sense and wish more instructions were this clear
How 🤨... tighten, but don't...
Tighten them but tighten them not too much but make sure not to tighten them too less, I guess
Tighten but don't overtighten them, probably.
It means “put all of the screws in the holes in order to start guiding the surfaces that you’re screwing together into the correct position, but don’t firmly tighten down all the screw until you have put all of them in so that you can ensure proper alignment of everything before you lock it in.”
Sure but that's obvious
Yeah, it's fairly obvious to me as well. That's basic assembly procedure, you don't tighten them fully until you have them all in place.
This manual will just confuse me, I'll just follow the assembly plan without actually reading it 😁.
Like put them in a few threads but don't tighten then yet until you complete the next step
That's "screw them in, but don't tighten them".
”Use a wrench, position it on the screw and hit it with baseball bat."
