4.1. Opening Watch Back Covers

This kit supports opening three main types of watch back covers: screw-on, pry-off, and screw-fixed.

4.1.1. Using the Adjustable Watch Opener (for Screw-On Backs)

The upgraded adjustable watch opener is designed for screw-on watch backs with grooves. It offers improved grip and stability compared to older versions.

1. Select the appropriate jaw shape from the three available options to match the grooves on your watch back.
2. Place the watch securely in a watch case holder (not included in all kits, but recommended for stability).
3. Adjust the opener's jaws to fit snugly into the notches on the watch back.
4. Apply gentle, even pressure and rotate counter-clockwise to unscrew the back cover.

4.1.2. Using the Multifunctional Screwdriver (for Pry-Off and Screw-Fixed Backs)

The multifunctional screwdriver is versatile, featuring different heads for various tasks, including prying open watch covers and removing small screws.

1. For Pry-Off Backs: Use the "Arc pry tool" head. Locate the small notch on the watch case. Carefully insert the pry tool into the notch and gently twist to lift the back cover.
2. For Screw-Fixed Backs: Select the appropriate screwdriver bit (e.g., Phillips or flathead) from the kit. Unscrew the small screws holding the back cover in place.

4.2. Replacing Watch Batteries

Once the watch back is open, you can access the battery. Note the battery type and orientation before removal.

1. Carefully remove any battery clamps or covers using tweezers or a small screwdriver.
2. Gently lift out the old battery. Avoid touching the new battery with bare hands to prevent transferring oils.
3. Insert the new battery with the correct orientation (usually positive side up).
4. Replace any clamps or covers.
5. Reattach the watch back cover, ensuring it is securely fastened.

4.3. Adjusting Watch Bands (Link Removal)

To adjust the length of a metal watch band, you will typically need to remove links using the link remover tool and watch hammer.

1. Identify the removable links on your watch band. These usually have small arrows indicating the pin removal direction.
2. Place the watch band into the link remover tool, aligning the pin with the tool's pusher.
3. Slowly turn the screw on the link remover to push the pin out. Alternatively, use the watch hammer and a pin punch to gently tap the pin out in the direction of the arrow.
4. Remove the desired number of links.
5. Reassemble the band by inserting the pin in the opposite direction, gently tapping it back into place with the hammer if necessary.

4.4. Replacing Watch Spring Bars

The multifunctional screwdriver also includes a spring bar tool head for removing and installing watch straps.

1. Locate the spring bar at the connection point between the watch case and the strap.
2. Use the forked end of the spring bar tool to compress the spring bar, releasing it from the lug hole.
3. To install a new strap, insert one end of the spring bar into a lug hole, then compress the other end with the tool and guide it into the opposite lug hole.

5. Maintenance and Care

• After each use, clean tools with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris.
