6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, especially if exposed to dirt, debris, or moisture, clean the multitool with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried to prevent rust.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot points of the tools. This will ensure smooth operation and prevent stiffness.
• Sharpening: The knife blade can be sharpened using a standard knife sharpener. Exercise extreme caution during sharpening to avoid injury.
• Storage: Store the multitool in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and humidity, to prevent corrosion and maintain its condition.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. Tools are stiff or hard to open/close

Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., light machine oil) to the pivot points of the tools. Work the tools back and forth several times to distribute the oil evenly. If the issue persists, ensure no debris is lodged in the mechanism.

7.2. Blade or tools are dull

The knife blade and other cutting tools may become dull with regular use. Sharpen them as described in the Maintenance section (Section 6). For best results, use a sharpening stone or a dedicated knife sharpener.
