This is very simple. 
All wind up kitchen timers work on the same principle.
They all contain a spring and a bell.
If you want the bell to ring, you must wind up the spring.
It is important to preset the spring, by winding it up all the way!
Then – turn the dial back, and set it to your chosen time.
Ring tone too weak – did you preset the spring?
Ring tone too short – did you preset the spring?
How to set a Mechanical Kitchen Timer in detail
first – wind up the spring
- turn the dial clockwise as far as it will go
- this is often one full turn – or as far as 55-60 minutes
second – set your chosen time
- turn the dial anti – clockwise
- until the pointer on your timer lines up with your chosen time.
That’s all.
