Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your UGEARS wooden model, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids, as they can damage the wood.
• Environment: Keep the model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can cause the wood to warp or crack.
• Lubrication: If any mechanical parts become stiff over time, reapply a small amount of paraffin wax to the contact points as originally done during assembly.
• Handling: Handle the model gently to avoid accidental breakage of delicate parts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during or after assembly, consider the following:

• Parts not fitting: If a part is too tight, gently use the provided sandpaper to slightly reduce its size until it fits. Do not force parts together.
• Parts too loose: If a part is too loose, ensure it is correctly oriented and fully inserted. If it still feels loose, a tiny drop of wood glue (not included) can be used as a last resort, but this is generally not recommended for UGEARS models.
• Mechanical parts not moving smoothly: Ensure all moving parts are properly lubricated with paraffin wax. Check for any misaligned gears or obstructions. Refer to the instruction manual to verify correct assembly of the mechanism.
• Missing or damaged parts: If you find any parts are missing or damaged upon opening the kit, please contact UGEARS customer support for assistance.
