Oiling
the Case
Safety Precaution:
When working with
the glass, please
remember at all
times that there is
danger of injury.
Safety Precaution:
Oil your case only
in well ventilated
rooms. In order
to avoid ignition,
store the oil-soaked
wool cloth only in
the jar included
in your kit and keep
it closed.
The oil that came in your kit is a product created on a natural basis.
Despite this, proceed working on the following steps in a room
that is well ventilated.
Surface treatment of the natural wood case
The case of your Mechanica M2 is crafted in solid wood.
With the exception of the black painted version, these cases are all
untreated and must be varnished with the oil that came in your kit.
This surface treatment protects the wood from moisture, beautifully
brings out the natural texture of the woods and has the advantage
of allowing damage to the surface to be reworked and rectified at
any time without problem.
The oil made by Auro is based on a linseed oil and also contains tree
sap and natural waxes. It is thus ecologically sound.

Before you begin with the oiling,
you must dissemble the case door.
The door glass is pushed from the top into a groove within the frame
and secured by a screw-mounted lock rail. First unscrew the two
screws on the inside of the upper door bar and pull off the lock rail.
Carefully push the door glass out of the groove and keep it in the
case level of the packaging to avoid breaking.
