| Getting Started with Playable Metal |
 |
|
|
Playable Metal blocks are made in aluminum alloy. There are 10 modular shapes that can be interconnected with specially designed screws. This ingenious design makes building true 3-dimensional structures possible with its patented connecting mechanism that allows two adjacent blocks to be secured easily in any angle. |

Connect two blocks
Only a "+" (plus) block and a "-" (minus) block can be interconnected, and a double-headed screw must be used for the assembly:
1. Align the screw's "+" end to the hole on the "+" block, and "-" end to the hole on the "-" block.
2. Insert L-shaped wrench and turn counter-clockwise (direction toward "-" block) to tighten.
3. Adjust blocks to a desired angle before fully tighten it. Do not over tighten the screw.
4. To disconnect the blocks, turn the wrench clockwise.

Connect accessaries to "+" blocks
To connect various accessories such as aluminum rods to "+" blocks, use "+" screws:
1. Insert the rod into the hole to a desired position.
2. Insert a "+" screw to the hole on a near side, turn the wrench clockwise to tighten.
3. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise to loosen it.
4. To fully secure the rod, it’s best to apply two screws on different sides.
