Dear parents and adults,
Children as young as six years of age
can enjoy experimenting with the
built Candy Claw Machine, but most
children under eight will need a lot of
help building it. Regardless of their
age, please support your child with
advice and a helping hand, especially
during tricky assembly steps. Before
beginning, read the instructions
together and discuss the safety
instructions.
To prevent damage to the work
surface on which your child is
building, provide them with a mat or
other surface protection.
– You must carefully cut the plastic parts out of their frames
with diagonal cutting pliers (diagonal cutters) or scissors.
– Remove the parts from the frames only when they are needed.
– Remove excess material (burrs) from the parts before assembling them.
Normal scissors do not cut as precisely as diagonal cutters, so you may have
to file some of the rough edges down with a nail file or sandpaper.
– Assemble everything in the order shown. Don't jump ahead!
– You must lubricate each piston seal (P13) inside the
hydraulic cylinders with oil. See page 5.

When cutting the plastic parts out of
the frames with the diagonal cutter
or scissors, special care must be
taken, not just because of the sharp
edges on the tools, but also because
the plastic parts can yield sharp
edges or burrs. These can be
removed with the help of the diagonal
cutter or a nail file. Supervise your
child when they are using the sharp
tools until you trust that they can
handle the tools independently.
lot of fun building and playing with
the Candy Claw Machine!
