How to use
Begin by reading the enclosed instructions and preparing a flat, clean workspace. Mount the movement through the dial or backing, secure with the supplied hardware, and attach the hour and minute hands in the order described. Insert the recommended battery, set the correct time using the adjustment knob, and verify smooth hand movement. If you are attaching the mechanism to a custom face or frame, ensure the dial thickness matches the shaft length and that hands clear the surface and each other.
Usage recommendations
To maintain accurate timekeeping, use a fresh high-quality alkaline battery and replace it annually or when movement slows. When customizing the clock face, avoid adding materials that obstruct hand travel or add excessive weight to the hands. Handle the hands gently during installation to prevent bending.
