We begin with the case,
which, if it is the natural wood version, must first be varnished with
the maintenance product that came in the kit. It is important to make
sure that the room you are working in is well ventilated. In order to
avoid the possible danger of setting fire to yourself, only store the
polishing cloth inundated with oil closed in the jar delivered with your
kit. During the time the case needs to dry out, you can carefully and
tranquilly read through the rest of the process here.
Please be very careful when you assemble the case as it is entirely
possible to injure yourself with the glass panes.
Carefully prepare your workspace before continuing with the
assembly of the movement. It needs to be kept clean and should
be outfitted with a good light. The components have been cleaned
by us and packed up cleanly and carefully. In order to avoid
unnecessary soiling, please only take the parts out of the packaging
right before you need to use them. Take a good look at them and
make sure they are not damaged in any way.
The ball bearings
*
intended to bear the Gear train
*
are crafted
in Stainless steel
*
; so that they attain the least possible amount of
friction
*
, they are not sealed. Thus, these parts should be protected
from dust and small dirt particles during assembly.
The steel arbors
*
of the gear wheels are not coated with anything
and can rust. The material they are crafted in was chosen with regard
to hardness and longevity. These wheels should therefore only
be handled for assembly when wearing the gloves found in this kit
and should be picked up only by the teeth of the gold-plated wheel
*
or by grasping the arbor
*
of it with tweezers.
Important Information
before Beginning
Should one of the gear wheels fall, please take a close look at the
teeth using the included loupe. A slight imperfection or crooked
tooth can impede the easy turning of the Gear train
*
. A component
that has been damaged in this way must be replaced.
Please take care not to injure yourself with the needle of the oil syrin-
ge found in the kit. For this reason, please make sure that it remains
out of reach of children.
When unscrewing the dial, you also run a certain risk of scratching its
surface. Thus, we would like to remind you here again to proceed
with great care. The dial is indeed the face of your Mechanica M2.
