Nanoblock NBC_158 Giraffe Micro Sized Building Blocks Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides instructions for assembling the Nanoblock NBC_158 Giraffe building set. Nanoblocks are micro-sized building blocks designed for creating detailed 3D models. This set allows you to construct a miniature giraffe model.

The smallest bricks measure just 4x4mm, enabling intricate detail in the final model. Due to the small size of the components, careful handling and attention to detail are required during assembly.

2. Safety Information

• Choking Hazard: This product contains very small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Keep all components out of reach of infants and young children to prevent accidental ingestion.
• Recommended Age: This building set is recommended for ages 12 years and older due to the intricate nature and small size of the blocks.
• Supervision: Adult supervision is recommended for younger builders.
• Handling: Handle blocks carefully to avoid loss or damage.

3. Package Contents

Before beginning assembly, please verify that all components are present in your package:

• Approximately 150 Nanoblock pieces (various shapes and colors for the Giraffe model).

4. Assembly Instructions

Follow the detailed color instructions provided within your Nanoblock package. The assembly process involves connecting micro-sized blocks to form the giraffe model. Pay close attention to the diagrams and piece counts for each step.

1. Preparation: Clear a well-lit, flat surface for assembly. Organize your blocks by color and shape if desired, though the small size may make this challenging.
2. Follow Instructions: Refer to the included color instruction booklet. Each step will illustrate which blocks to use and where to place them.
3. Precision: Due to the small size, precision is key. Ensure blocks are firmly connected to prevent the model from falling apart.
4. Patience: Building with Nanoblocks requires patience. Take your time and enjoy the process.

5. Display and Handling

Once assembled, your Nanoblock Giraffe is a display piece. While the connections are firm, excessive force or dropping the model may cause pieces to detach.

• Placement: Display your model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: When moving the model, support it from the base to minimize stress on individual connections.
• Avoid Play: This model is designed for display, not for active play, as small parts can easily come loose.

6. Maintenance

To keep your Nanoblock model in good condition:

• Cleaning: Gently dust the model with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or loosen connections.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss.

7. Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
• Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing blocks, as this can cause damage.
• Model Instability: Re-examine the assembly steps, particularly for the base and legs. Ensure all connections are secure.
