Editing Futaba ML series (section)

==Disassembly==
The two legs are threaded, as with the larger Futaba linear switches. To open the switch, first unscrew and remove the two legs. Then, gently insert a screwdriver or one leg of a pair of tweezers inside the retention recess and lever away the retention clip.

The contact leaf should detach cleanly from its mounting lugs when the slider is depressed; unlike the simplified linear, the leaf comes off fairly easily and without becoming mangled or torn. Removal of the leaf should not be attempted without good reason as it remains a risky operation.

When reassembling the switch, the legs should first be placed inside the base. Then, insert the base very slowly, making sure that the legs are passing down the correct side of the contact leaf prongs; failure to do so may result in a crushed contact leaf that will need straightening, although the reason for the large static prong is unknown.
