I'm betting you did not get the safety lever inside the jacket, part 28, into the notch in the safety slide spring, part 30. This would obviously prevent the safety lever from moving forward. One has to line that up as one is putting the wood onto the top tang.
Then before you assemble anything else make sure as you move the safety the lever moves at the bottom before installing the floor plate and other items.
Go to the home page and on the left go to Technical Information to see the parts.
