Start by pushing the handle vertically downwards to disengage it from its lugs. Next ease the ends of the handle apart and lift it clear. Undo the two handle lug screws that are now exposed. The two halves of the case can then be separated starting at the top and being careful not to break the two plastic hooks at the bottom.

Thanks Alan, I have already down loaded the service document pages, in German!, but I can see what is loose/broken from your advice, cheers pal, Snowy

There's also a French version in the wild somewhere if that helps!

Morning Alan, broken ferrite rod, will stick it together and adjust the coils or just return item to seller, my mistake my paperwork is in French not German. thanks for your help, Snowy

I would not adjust the coils until you are sure that there is a problem with alignment.
