If any pieces are too tight, do not force them. Gently sand the connecting tabs until they fit smoothly. If pieces are too loose, a small amount of wood glue (not included) can be used for reinforcement, but this is generally not required for proper assembly.

This 3D wooden puzzle is a static display model. It does not require batteries or external power. The propeller may rotate manually. Handle the assembled model with care to prevent damage.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the wood.
• Storage: Store the model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes, to prevent warping or fading of the wood.
• Repairs: If a piece detaches, it can often be reattached using a small amount of wood glue.

7. Troubleshooting

• Pieces do not fit: Ensure you are using the correct pieces as indicated in the manual. Gently sand the connecting tabs if they are too tight.
• Pieces are loose: Verify that the pieces are fully inserted. For persistent looseness, a small drop of wood glue can be applied to the joint.
