Assembly Instructions

This wa-gu-mi puzzle is designed for glue-free assembly. Follow the steps carefully, referring to the included instruction sheet and diagrams for precise part identification and placement.

Step 1: Prepare the Pieces

Carefully detach all wooden pieces from their sheets. It is recommended to use a small craft knife or sandpaper to smooth any rough edges that may remain after detachment. Organize the pieces by their corresponding numbers or shapes as indicated in the instruction sheet's part maps. Note: Some parts may not have numbers printed directly on them; refer to the diagrams in the instruction booklet for identification.

Step 3: Interlocking Pieces

Gently push the interlocking tabs and slots together. If a piece does not fit easily, do not force it. Recheck the instruction diagram to ensure you have the correct piece and orientation. Slight pressure may be needed, but excessive force can damage the wood.

Step 4: Layer by Layer Construction

The Five-storied Pagoda is built in layers, starting from the base and working upwards. Ensure each level is stable and correctly aligned before proceeding to the next. The intricate details of the pagoda's roofs and railings require careful attention.

Step 5: Final Touches

Once all main structural components are assembled, attach any decorative elements or the spire at the top. Review your completed model against the product images to ensure all details are correctly placed.

• Storage: Store the model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, to prevent warping or fading of the wood.

Troubleshooting
