6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and functionality of your TOTAL Multi-Tool.

6.1. Cleaning

• After each use, especially if exposed to dirt, moisture, or corrosive substances, clean the tool.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe down the stainless steel components. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used.
• Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried immediately after cleaning to prevent rust.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or components.

6.2. Lubrication

Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil (e.g., mineral oil or specialized knife oil) to the pivot points of the tools. This will ensure smooth operation and prevent stiffness. Wipe off any excess oil.

6.3. Storage

Store the multi-tool in a dry environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective pouch, to prevent exposure to moisture and dust.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. Tools are Stiff or Difficult to Open/Close

• Cause: Accumulation of dirt, debris, or lack of lubrication.
• Solution: Clean the tool thoroughly as described in the maintenance section. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points and work the tools back and forth to distribute the oil.

7.2. Blade or Tools Appear Dull

• Cause: Regular use can dull cutting edges.
• Solution: The knife blade and saw can be carefully sharpened using appropriate sharpening tools. If you are not experienced in sharpening, it is recommended to seek professional sharpening services to avoid damage to the blade or injury.
