KAWADA Nanoblock PAD Mini Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The KAWADA Nanoblock PAD Mini (Model: NB-053) is an accessory designed to enhance your Nanoblock building experience. This pad serves as a stable base, helping to secure individual Nanoblock pieces during assembly, particularly when constructing the initial layers of a model. Its unique surface is engineered to prevent accidental collapse, allowing for more precise and enjoyable construction of intricate Nanoblock kits.

4. Setup

1. Unpack the Pad: Carefully remove the Nanoblock PAD Mini from its packaging.
2. Choose a Flat Surface: Place the pad on a clean, flat, and stable surface where you intend to build your Nanoblock model. Ensure the surface is free from dust or debris that could interfere with the pad's grip or the blocks.
3. Orient the Pad: The pad can be used in any orientation. The raised silicone dots are designed to grip the underside of your Nanoblock pieces.

5. Operating Instructions

The Nanoblock PAD Mini is designed to provide a secure foundation for your Nanoblock creations, especially during the initial, most delicate stages of construction.

1. Placing the First Layer: Begin by placing your first layer of Nanoblock pieces directly onto the raised silicone dots of the pad. The dots will gently grip the underside of the blocks, holding them in position.
2. Building Subsequent Layers: Continue to build your model layer by layer on top of the initial foundation. The stability provided by the pad helps prevent the base from shifting or collapsing as you add more pieces.
3. Preventing Collapse: The primary function of the silicone dots is to offer resistance against lateral movement and upward pull, significantly reducing the likelihood of your model's base falling apart during construction. This is particularly useful when joining larger sections or applying pressure to connect pieces.
4. Removing the Model: Once your model's base is sufficiently stable, or the entire model is complete, gently lift the constructed Nanoblock model from the pad. The flexible nature of the silicone dots allows for easy removal without damaging your creation.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the Nanoblock PAD Mini, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the silicone material.
• Drying: Ensure the pad is completely dry before storing or reusing it.
• Storage: Store the pad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Blocks not sticking securely:
  • Ensure the pad surface is clean and free from dust or oils.
  • Verify that the Nanoblock pieces are placed directly onto the raised silicone dots.
• Pad deforming or losing shape:
  • Avoid storing the pad in direct sunlight, high temperatures, or humid environments. Extreme conditions can cause material deformation.
  • Do not use the pad for any purpose other than assembling Nanoblock.
