⚠️ How to Use This Mechanical Timer (Important!)
This timer uses a clockwork spring mechanism – you must wind the spring first before setting your desired time. Here's how to time 5 minutes as an example:
- Start with the dial at 0 (initial state).
- Turn the dial clockwise all the way to 55 minutes – this winds the spring.
- Then turn it counter-clockwise back to 5 minutes.
- Wait – after 5 minutes, the timer will ring automatically!
Always wind to 55 minutes first, regardless of how much time you want to set. This step is essential to tension the spring correctly.
