4. Instruccions de muntatge
The estimated assembly time for this model is approximately 4 hours. Take your time and follow the steps carefully. The clock utilizes mortise and tenon construction for a full structure physical splicing experience.
4.1. Preparació
- Desembaleu tots els components i col·loqueu-los sobre una superfície neta i plana.
- Familiarize yourself with the different wooden sheets and the numbering of the pieces.
- Have a small container for loose parts and a sharp craft knife or tweezers handy for delicate work.
- If using, prepare a small amount of wax or a candle for lubricating moving parts.
4.2. Muntatge pas a pas
Follow the numbered diagrams and instructions provided in the included printed manual for detailed step-by-step guidance. Key aspects include:
- Removing Pieces: Gently push out the wooden pieces from their sheets. Use a craft knife for any stubborn connections.
- Poliment: Lightly sand any rough edges with the provided sandpaper for a smooth fit.
- Structural Splicing: Assemble the main frame and gear mechanisms using the mortise and tenon joints. Ensure pieces fit snugly without excessive force.
- Gear Assembly: Carefully assemble the gears. Apply a small amount of wax to the gear teeth and axles to ensure smooth operation.
- Quartz Movement Installation: Install the quartz movement module into its designated slot. Ensure it is securely fitted.
- Clock Hands: Attach the hour, minute, and second hands to the quartz movement shaft in the correct order.
- Pendulum Assembly: Assemble the gravity pendulum components. The design includes a musical note-shaped pendulum.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1. Installing Battery
Insert one (1) AA battery (not included) into the battery compartment of the quartz movement module. Ensure the polarity is correct.
5.2. Configuració de l'hora
Use the small dial on the back of the quartz movement to set the correct time. Do not adjust the clock hands directly, as this may damage the mechanism.
5.3. Hanging the Clock
Hang the assembled clock securely on a wall using the flexible hook combination at the back. Ensure the clock is level for optimal pendulum operation.

5.4. Adjusting the Pendulum
The clock features a bi-directional horizontal adjusting mechanism on the back. If the pendulum does not swing correctly or stops, gently adjust the clock's horizontal position using this mechanism until the pendulum swings freely and consistently. The mechanical clock escapement allows for a regular oscillation of the tail pendulum.

6. Manteniment
- Neteja: Dust the clock regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the wood finish.
- Lubricació: If the gears or pendulum mechanism become stiff, apply a small amount of wax (e.g., from a candle) to the contact points to ensure smooth operation.
- Substitució de la bateria: Canvieu la pila AA cada any o quan el rellotge comenci a perdre temps.
- Medi ambient: Keep the clock in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, to prevent warping or damage to the wooden components.
7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| El rellotge no funciona | Dead battery, incorrect battery installation, jammed gears. | Replace battery, check polarity, ensure all gears move freely and are lubricated. |
| Pendulum not swinging or stops | Clock not level, friction in pendulum mechanism. | Adjust the clock horizontally using the bi-directional mechanism. Apply wax to pendulum pivot points. |
| Les peces no encaixen | Incorrect piece, rough edges, misalignment. | Double-check the instruction manual for the correct piece. Gently sand rough edges. Ensure proper alignment before pressing. Do not force. |
| Clock loses or gains time | Weak battery, faulty quartz movement. | Replace the battery. If the problem persists, contact customer support for a replacement quartz movement. |
