2. Identify Parts: Each metal sheet is typically numbered, and individual parts are labeled. Identify the parts required for the current step as indicated in the manual.
3. Detach Pieces: Gently twist or use a small cutting tool to detach the pieces from the metal sheets. Be careful not to bend or damage the pieces during this process.
4. Bend Tabs: Use your pliers to carefully bend the connection tabs according to the diagrams in the instructions. Ensure bends are precise (e.g., 90-degree angles) for a secure and flush fit.
5. Connect Parts: Align the bent tabs with their corresponding slots and gently push them through. Once through, twist or fold the tabs to secure the connection.
6. Follow Sequence: Assemble the model step-by-step, strictly adhering to the sequence provided in the instructions. Do not force parts together.

Maintenance

Once assembled, your Piececool 3D Metal Puzzle Sagrada Familia model requires minimal maintenance to preserve its appearance:

• Cleaning: Gently dust the model with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water, abrasive cleaners, or chemical solutions, as these can damage the metal finish.
• Storage: Display or store the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperatures. These conditions can cause discoloration or potential damage to the metal.

Troubleshooting

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

• Parts Not Fitting: Double-check that you are using the correct parts for the current step. Ensure that the tabs are bent precisely to the correct angle and are not over-bent or under-bent.
• Bent or Damaged Piece: Handle all pieces with care. If a piece is slightly bent, gently straighten it with your pliers. If a piece is severely damaged, refer to the warranty and support section for assistance.
• Difficulty with Small Connections: For very small tabs and slots, using fine-tip tweezers can provide better control and precision.
• Missing Parts: Carefully check all packaging and metal sheets to ensure no parts were overlooked. If parts are genuinely missing, please contact Piececool customer support.
