4.1 General Assembly Tips

• Do Not Disassemble All at Once: To avoid confusion and loss of pieces, do not remove all puzzle parts from the wooden sheets simultaneously. Follow the instructions to assemble them step by step, detaching pieces as needed.
• Use an Exacto Knife (Optional but Recommended): For very intricate or tightly fitted pieces, an exacto knife can be helpful to carefully detach parts from the wooden frame and prevent splintering.
• Identify Pieces: Each piece is numbered on the wooden sheet. Correlate these numbers with the diagrams in the instruction manual.
• Gentle Pressure: When fitting pieces, apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing pieces, as this can cause them to break.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Keep Dry: Do not expose the wooden puzzle to water or high humidity, as this can cause the wood to deform or swell.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the wood to fade or warp. Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

7. Troubleshooting

• Pieces are Difficult to Detach: If pieces are stuck, use an exacto knife to carefully cut through any remaining wood connections. Avoid twisting or forcing, which can cause breakage.
• Pieces Break During Assembly: Due to the delicate nature of the wood, some pieces may break if excessive force is applied. If a piece breaks, wood glue can be used for repair.
• Model is Unstable: Ensure all connecting tabs are fully inserted into their corresponding slots. Double-check the assembly steps to confirm all parts are correctly positioned.
