2. Safety Information
- Age Recommendation: This puzzle is suitable for individuals aged 14 years and older. Keep small parts away from younger children.
- Material Safety: The puzzle pieces are made from premium basswood, processed with advanced laser cutting technology to ensure smooth edges and prevent burrs.
- Rubber Band Operation: The model uses rubber bands as projectiles. The range is approximately 3-5 meters. Do not aim at eyes or faces. Use only the provided rubber bands or similar safe alternatives.
- Assembly Precautions: Handle pieces carefully to avoid breakage. Do not force pieces together.
3. Setup and Assembly
The ROBOTIME M1906 Browning 3D Wooden Puzzle comes with pre-cut wooden sheets and a detailed instruction book. Follow the steps below for successful assembly:
- Unpack Components: Carefully open the package and lay out all the wooden sheets and the instruction book. Verify that all sheets are present and undamaged.
- Identify Parts: Refer to the instruction book to identify each piece. Pieces are precision cut and labeled on the sheets.
- Remove Pieces: Gently push out each piece from its wooden frame. If a piece is difficult to remove, use a small tool (like a craft knife or sandpaper, not included) to carefully detach it, avoiding damage.
- Follow Instructions: Assemble the puzzle step-by-step according to the visual diagrams and written instructions in the included manual. Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece.
- Interlocking Mechanism: The puzzle uses mortise and tenon joints for a secure fit. Ensure pieces are fully inserted without excessive force. A small amount of wood glue (not included) can be used for added stability on non-moving parts if desired, but is generally not required.
- Moving Parts: For mechanical components like the trigger and escapement wheel, ensure they move freely after assembly. Do not apply glue to moving parts.

- Rubber Bands: Replace worn or stretched rubber bands to maintain optimal firing performance.
6. Troubleshooting
- Pieces Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for each step. Refer to the instruction manual's diagrams. Do not force pieces; gently sand edges if necessary for a snug fit.
