2. Setup and Installation

This kit is intended for use in assembling or repairing clock faces. The numbers are designed to be affixed to a clock panel or surface using adhesive. Please note that glue is not provided with this kit and must be acquired separately.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the clock panel or surface where the numbers will be applied is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris.
2. Plan Placement: Carefully arrange the numbers on the clock face to determine their correct positions before applying any adhesive. Consider the clock's design and the desired aesthetic.
3. Apply Adhesive: Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., strong craft glue, epoxy) to the back of each numeral. Use a small amount to avoid excess squeeze-out.
4. Attach Numerals: Firmly press each numeral onto its designated position on the clock panel. Hold in place for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to begin setting.
5. Allow to Cure: Allow the adhesive to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before handling or moving the clock. This ensures a strong and lasting bond.

3. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed on a clock face, the numerals serve as visual indicators for telling time. Their function is passive, relying on the clock's movement mechanism to display the correct time via hands pointing to the numbers.

Ensure the clock mechanism is correctly installed and functioning to utilize the numerals effectively. The numbers themselves do not require any active operation.

4. Maintenance

The DOITOOL Clock Numerals are made of plastic, which is stable and durable. They are designed to be resistant to wear and tear under normal conditions.

Cleaning: If the numerals accumulate dust or dirt, gently wipe them with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the plastic finish.

Handling: While durable, avoid excessive force or bending, which could cause the plastic to break.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the installation or use of the clock numerals.

• Numerals Not Sticking:
  Ensure the clock surface is clean and dry before adhesive application. Verify that the adhesive used is appropriate for plastic and the clock face material. Allow sufficient curing time for the adhesive.
• Numerals Appear Crooked or Misaligned:
  Before applying adhesive, always dry-fit the numbers to plan their exact positions. If already glued, and the adhesive allows, carefully adjust before it fully sets. For permanent adhesives, removal might damage the numbers or surface.
• Numerals Damaged During Installation:
  Handle the plastic numerals with care. Avoid applying excessive pressure or bending them. If a numeral is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
