5. Assembly Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions carefully to assemble your Sakura Bonsai. The manual uses visual icons to guide you through the process. Refer to the icon legend in your printed manual for detailed explanations.

• Icon Legend: Your instruction manual includes a page explaining various icons. For example:
• An exclamation mark in a red circle indicates "Special attention in assembly."
• A hand with a piece of sandpaper indicates "Polish the parts with sandpaper." This is useful if pieces are too tight.
• An arrow indicating a change in perspective means "Perspective changed."
• A gear icon indicates "Ensure the connection of gears smoothly."
• Preparation: Carefully detach all pieces from the wooden sheets. Use a small tool or your fingers to gently push them out. Identify each piece by its label (e.g., A1, A2, B1, B2).
• Step-by-Step Assembly: The manual provides numbered steps with clear diagrams. Each step shows which pieces to use and how they connect. Pay close attention to the orientation of pieces and any arrows indicating direction.
• Interlocking Design: This puzzle uses an interlocking design, meaning no glue is required. Pieces should fit snugly. If a piece is too tight, gently sand the edges as indicated by the sandpaper icon.
• Flower Placement: The small flower pieces (P1, P2, P3, P4) are typically added towards the final stages of assembly to create the cherry blossom effect. Follow the diagrams for their correct placement and distribution on the branches.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your completed Sakura Bonsai 3D Wooden Puzzle, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Dusting: Gently dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to prevent dust buildup.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the model away from water and high humidity to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
• Direct Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the colors to fade over time.
• Handling: Handle the assembled model with care to prevent pieces from detaching.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Tight Pieces: If a piece does not fit easily, do not force it. Refer to the sandpaper icon in your manual and gently sand the edges of the piece until it fits snugly.
• Loose Connections: Ensure all interlocking tabs are fully inserted into their corresponding slots.
• Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and work area. If a piece is genuinely missing, please contact Rowood customer support.
