Operating Instructions

Once the correct insert is securely in place, the micro screwdriver is ready for use:

1. Positioning: Place the tip of the insert squarely into the head of the screw.
2. Apply Pressure: Apply gentle, consistent downward pressure to keep the insert engaged with the screw head.
3. Rotate: Rotate the screwdriver handle clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise to loosen the screw. The rotating cap on the handle allows for continuous pressure application with one hand while rotating the handle with the other, providing precise control.
4. Precision Work: This tool is ideal for small electronics, eyeglasses, watches, and other delicate applications where fine control is necessary.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the screwdriver handle and inserts with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Always return the inserts and handle to their designated slots in the storage case after use. Close the lid securely to protect them from environmental elements and prevent loss.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the inserts for signs of wear, such as rounded edges or chipped tips. Worn inserts can damage screw heads and should be replaced if necessary.
• Lubrication: No lubrication is required for this tool.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your Beta micro screwdriver, consider the following:

• Insert Slipping from Screw Head:
  • Ensure you are using the correct size and type of insert for the screw.
  • Apply adequate downward pressure to keep the insert engaged.
  • Check if the insert tip is worn or damaged; replace if necessary.
• Insert Not Staying in Handle:
  • Verify the insert is fully pushed into the handle.
  • Check if the magnetic tip of the handle is clean and free of debris.
• Difficulty Turning Screw:
  • Ensure the screw is not cross-threaded or seized.
  • For very tight screws, ensure you are applying sufficient, steady pressure.
