Trikčių šalinimas
| Problema | Galima priežastis | Sprendimas |
|---|---|---|
| Timer does not run or runs slowly. | Insufficient winding, friction in gears, misaligned parts, broken rubber band. | Ensure the mechanism is fully wound. Apply wax to all moving gears and axles. Check for any misaligned or stuck parts. Replace rubber band if broken. |
| Parts are difficult to detach or fit. | Tight tolerances, burrs on laser-cut edges. | Gently wiggle parts to detach. Use fine sandpaper to smooth edges if necessary. Apply wax to connection points before assembly. |
| Toothpicks snap during insertion. | Incorrect length, lack of lubrication, excessive force. | Ensure toothpicks are cut to the exact specified length. Apply wax to toothpicks before insertion. Use gentle, even pressure. |
| Signalizacija neskamba. | Alarm mechanism not correctly assembled or engaged. | Review the assembly steps for the alarm mechanism. Ensure all parts are correctly positioned and move freely. |
