Setup

Let the glue dry for an hour, then proceed to sanding operations.
The cajon is then ready for varnishing, water or synthetic based
products can be used for this purpose.
Put the rubber feet (H) at the
bottom with screws (I).
Now you can place the back side with 18 screws (A),
this time you can reinforce the structure by
applying glue as well all around the frame.
At this stage you can finish the snare placement,
by placing the six adhesive strips (G) which
guarantee optimum contact of the snare to the
front plate.
Now put the front plate in, with 18 screws (A)
(pre-hole with a 2 mm wide drill piece is
advisable but not essential).
Now place the snare tensioning block (10),
which provides tension to the strings.
You need to hammer the metal receiving
threads first (E).
Check that the threads are placed to the
opposite side of the rounded edge.
Insert the two tensioning bolts (M) from the
bootom panel holes, and then catch each string
between the bolts and the bottom hole of the
tensioning block. The rounded edge of the
tensioning block has to facing towards you, the
metal thread is facing upwards. Tighten each
string, without too much tension just until they gain
a straight “V” shape.
