4. Assembly Instructions

Follow the numbered steps in the included assembly instructions carefully. The pieces are designed to fit together snugly. Patience and precision are key for a successful build.

1. Preparation: Lay out all wooden sheets and identify the parts. It is recommended to use a clean, flat workspace.
2. Detaching Parts: Gently pop out each piece from its wooden board. If a piece is stubborn, use a craft knife or sandpaper to carefully loosen it. Avoid forcing pieces, as this can cause breakage.
3. Follow Numbered Steps: Refer to the visual diagrams and numbered steps in the provided instruction booklet. Each step will guide you on which pieces to connect.
4. Adhesive Application (if needed): For parts that require extra stability or are indicated in the instructions, apply a small amount of wood glue. Allow sufficient drying time before proceeding to the next step.
5. Music Box Mechanism: Carefully integrate the music box mechanism and crank handle as instructed. Ensure it is securely placed and functions smoothly before sealing the base.
6. Final Assembly: Complete the structure, including the cherry blossom tree and decorative elements like the cats. Ensure all rotating parts move freely.

5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, your music box is ready for operation:

• Winding the Mechanism: Locate the crank handle, typically on the side or bottom of the music box. Gently turn the crank clockwise until you feel a slight resistance. Do not over-wind, as this can damage the mechanism.
• Playing the Music: After winding, the music box will play its melody, and the cherry blossom tree will rotate.
• Stopping Playback: The music will stop automatically once the spring unwinds.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your wooden music box:

• Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
• Storage: Store in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or fading of the wood.
• Handling: Handle the assembled model gently, especially the delicate cherry blossom branches.

7. Troubleshooting

• Pieces Breaking During Assembly: If a delicate piece breaks, it can often be repaired with a small amount of wood glue. Apply glue to the broken edges and hold firmly until set.
• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct parts for each step. Sometimes, a gentle sanding of edges can help if a fit is too tight. Do not force parts together.
• Music Box Not Playing/Rotating: Check if the music box mechanism was installed correctly and is fully wound. Ensure no wooden parts are obstructing the rotation.
• Missing Parts: Double-check all wooden sheets and packaging. If a part is genuinely missing, contact customer support.
