The disclosure relates to a method of assembling a hand machine tool having (i) an intermediate flange that includes (i) at least one base body having a slot-shaped opening extending in a bearing position and in a bearing, (ii) an intermediate shaft assembly that includes an intermediate shaft and a wobble bearing having a wobble pin, and (iii) a drive piston. The method includes sliding the drive piston onto the wobble pin, introducing the wobble pin into the slot-shaped opening such that the drive piston slides into the at least one base body, and inserting, in an assembly direction corresponding to a direction of a longitudinal axis of the base body, the intermediate shaft of the intermediate shaft assembly into a second base body of the immediate flange.
