Operating Instructions
These screwdrivers are designed for precision tasks on small screws, particularly those found on sewing machines. Always ensure you select the correct type and size of screwdriver head (Phillips or flat head) that matches the screw you intend to adjust or remove.
- Identify Screw Type: Determine if the screw requires a Phillips head (cross-shaped indentation) or a flat head (single slot).
- Select Correct Screwdriver: Choose the screwdriver from the set that matches the screw type and is appropriately sized for a snug fit. Using the wrong size can strip the screw head.
- Apply Pressure and Turn: Place the screwdriver tip firmly into the screw head. Apply steady downward pressure while turning clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise to loosen.
- Common Applications:
- Changing needle plates on sewing machines.
- Adjusting bobbin case tensions.
- Tightening or loosening screws on other small household appliances.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SINGER screwdrivers, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal shafts and plastic handles with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove any dust, lint, or debris. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Storage: Store the screwdrivers in a dry place to prevent rust on the metal parts. Utilize the included red plastic ring to keep the set together, preventing loss and maintaining organization within your tool kit, sewing basket, or drawer.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the screwdriver tips for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. While durable, excessive force or improper use can cause damage.
Troubleshooting
Most issues encountered with screwdrivers are related to improper selection or application. Here are common scenarios and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Screwdriver slips from screw head. | Incorrect screwdriver type/size, insufficient downward pressure, stripped screw head. | Ensure you are using the correct Phillips or flat head screwdriver for the screw. Apply firm, steady downward pressure while turning. If the screw head is stripped, specialized tools may be required. |
| Screw will not turn. | Screw is overtightened, rusted, or cross-threaded. | Apply more force carefully, ensuring not to strip the screw. For rusted screws, apply a penetrating oil if appropriate for the material. Do not force excessively to avoid damaging the screw or screwdriver. |
| Screwdriver tip appears bent or damaged. | Excessive force, improper use (e.g., prying), or using on screws too large for the tool. | Discontinue use of the damaged screwdriver to prevent further damage to the screw or injury. Replace the screwdriver if necessary. Always use the correct tool for the job. |
