Steps to Follow For Displaying and Maintaining the HABiTAT Vintage London Paper Weight Glass Ball
Preparation
First, unpack the curation carefully to prevent scratching the glass sphere or damaging the brass housing.

How to Use and Set the HABiTAT Vintage London Paper Weight Glass Ball
Begin by gently pulling the knurled adjustment knob located on top of the brass frame to disengage the setting mechanism. Subsequently, turn the knob clockwise until the hands align correctly with the current time. Moreover, push the knob back firmly into position to restart the timekeeping mechanism. Finally, place the glass sphere over your documents or position it prominently as a central desktop focus piece.

Health and Safety
Always position heavy glass decor pieces on flat, stable surfaces to prevent accidental slipping or falling. Additionally, keep the spherical glass ball out of strong direct sunlight, as magnifying lenses can direct light rays and concentrate intense heat onto flammable desk materials. Keep this item stored away from young children due to its weight and small movable components. Furthermore, ensure hands are clean and dry when moving the item across your office space to maintain a firm grip. Please share your experience by leaving a review.
