Setup & Assembly Instructions

Assembly of these wooden puzzles requires patience and attention to detail. Follow the included instruction booklet specific to your model (ST003 or MC801) for step-by-step guidance.

1. Preparation: Unpack all components. Identify the wooden sheets and the instruction booklet. Prepare a clean, well-lit workspace.
2. Piece Identification: Carefully punch out the wooden pieces from their sheets. Refer to the diagrams in the instruction booklet to identify each piece by its number. Keep similar pieces grouped to avoid confusion.
3. Smoothing Edges: Use the provided sandpaper to gently smooth any rough edges or burrs on the wooden pieces. This ensures a better fit and prevents splinters.
4. Assembly Steps: Follow the numbered steps in the instruction booklet precisely. Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece.
5. Connecting Pieces: Pieces are designed to interlock. Apply gentle, even pressure when connecting them. If a piece is difficult to fit, do not force it. Recheck the piece number and orientation. A small amount of wax (if provided) can be applied to pegs for smoother insertion.
6. Electrical Components (ST003 Globe): If your ST003 Globe model includes LED lighting, follow the specific wiring instructions carefully. Ensure correct polarity and secure connections.
7. Final Touches: Once assembly is complete, ensure all pieces are securely in place. The models are designed for display.

Operating Instructions

The ROBOTIME ST003 Globe and MC801 Vintage Car are primarily static display models, with the ST003 Globe having an additional functional element.

• MC801 Vintage Car: This model is designed for display. Its wheels may turn, but it is not intended for active play or motorized movement.
• ST003 Globe: If your model includes an electrical lighting component, connect it to a suitable power source (e.g., USB cable, battery pack as specified in its individual manual). The globe will illuminate, enhancing its visual appeal. Some models may also feature a manual rotation mechanism for the globe.

Maintenance

Proper care will help preserve the appearance and integrity of your wooden puzzle models.

• Cleaning: Dust the models regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood.
• Storage: Display the models in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. These conditions can cause the wood to warp, crack, or fade.
• Handling: Handle the models gently, especially when moving them, to prevent pieces from detaching or breaking.

Troubleshooting

Encountering issues during assembly is common. Here are solutions to frequent problems:

• Pieces Not Fitting: Double-check the piece number and orientation against the instruction diagrams. Ensure no burrs are present; use sandpaper to smooth edges if necessary. Do not force pieces.
• Broken Pieces: If a piece breaks during removal from the sheet or assembly, a small amount of wood glue can often repair it. Allow sufficient drying time. Contact support if a critical piece is irreparably damaged.
• Loose Joints: For joints that are too loose, a tiny drop of wood glue can be used to secure them. Apply sparingly to avoid excess.
• ST003 Light Not Working: Verify that the power source is correctly connected and functional. Check all wiring connections for secure contact and correct polarity. Ensure the LED components are inserted correctly.
