2. Watch Case Opening and Battery Replacement

To open the watch case and replace the battery, use the appropriate tool for your watch type:

1. For Notched/Grooved Watch Cases: Use the watch back case opener. Adjust the drill bit spacing by rolling the adjusting wheel to fit the grooves on your watch back (15-60mm range). Place the watch in the watch case holder for stability. Turn the opener counter-clockwise to loosen and remove the back.
2. For Pry-Opening Watch Cases: Use the watch case opening pry tool. Carefully insert the pry tool into the designated opening and gently lift the back cover.
3. For Screwed Watch Cases: Use the appropriate bit from the five-in-one screwdriver set to unscrew the back cover.
4. Once the back cover is removed, use the tweezers to carefully remove the old battery.
5. Insert the new battery, ensuring correct polarity.
6. Replace any internal plastic pieces or gaskets.
7. Carefully reattach the watch back cover, ensuring it is securely fastened. For notched cases, turn the watch back case opener clockwise to tighten.

3. Screwdriver Usage

The five-in-one screwdriver is versatile for various small screw applications:

• Select the appropriate bit (1.0, 1.2, 1.5, or 1.8) for the screw size.
• Use for watch battery fixing screws, watch case screws, watchband screws, or even glasses screws.
• Store unused bits inside the screwdriver handle by opening the cover at the end.

4. Watch Case Holder Usage

The watch case holder is crucial for securing your watch during any repair process:

• Place your watch firmly within the holder.
• Adjust the holder to fit watches of various sizes, up to 50mm in diameter.
• This prevents the watch from sliding and reduces the risk of accidental scratches or damage while you work with other tools.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your JOREST Watch Repair Kit, proper maintenance is essential:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down all tools with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, oils, or debris. For metal tools, ensure they are completely dry to prevent rust.
• Storage: Store all tools in their designated slots within the kit's packaging to prevent damage, loss, and keep them organized. Keep the kit in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect tools for any signs of wear, damage, or dullness. Replace worn-out components like screwdriver bits or pin punch needles as needed (spare needles are provided).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during watch repair, consider the following:

• Difficulty Opening Watch Back: Ensure you are using the correct tool for your watch case type (notched, pry-off, or screwed). Double-check that the tool is properly aligned with the case features. For notched cases, verify the opener's pins are correctly seated in the grooves.
• Stuck Watch Band Pins: Ensure you are pushing the pin in the correct direction (indicated by arrows on the band). Apply steady, firm pressure or gentle taps with the hammer. If a pin is severely stuck, consider applying a small amount of penetrating oil, but be cautious not to get it on the watch movement.
• Scratches on Watch Case: Always use the provided non-slip film or a soft cloth to protect the watch case when using tools, especially the case opener. Ensure tools are clean and free of debris that could cause scratches.
• Watch Not Functioning After Battery Replacement: Verify the new battery is inserted with the correct polarity. Ensure all internal components and gaskets are correctly seated before closing the case. Some watches may require a reset after battery replacement; consult your watch's specific manual if available.
