Most Metal Time kits include basic tools like pliers, a file, gloves, and a polishing cloth. You will mainly use pliers to bend and twist the steel fasteners.
Metal Time model kits contain small and sharp parts and are strictly not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Due to the intricacy, most models are recommended for hobbyists ages 14 and up.
Parts are primarily secured using a standard fixing method where steel fasteners (eyelets and ears) are bent 90 degrees or twisted 45 degrees using the provided pliers.
If a part retains a sharp edge after you remove it from the metal sheet, please use the provided metal file to smooth it down ensuring safe handling.
For Metal Time models featuring LEDs or motors, ensure that the wiring contact points do not touch the main stainless steel product body. Follow the wiring check diagram carefully.
