Dear parents and adults,
Children as young as eight years of age
can enjoy experimenting with the built
Candy Claw Machine, but most children
under 12 years 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 directions 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. Take special care when cutting out the
hydraulic cylinders, because they can crack if not removed
carefully. See special note in red to the left.
- 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 properly lubricate each piston seal (P13) inside the
hydraulic cylinders with oil. See page 5.

Additional Info

in the
Pages 15, 16, and the inside
back cover
When cutting the plastic parts out of the
frames with the diagonal cutters 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 cutters or a nail file.
Supervise your child when they are
using the sharp tools until you trust that
they can handle the tools independently.
We hope you and your child have a lot
of fun building and playing with the
Candy Claw Machine!
