3. Setup & Initial Use
3.1 Deploying the Main Knife
To deploy the main knife blade, push down on both sides of the Axis Lock mechanism simultaneously and flick the blade open. The Axis Lock ensures the blade is securely locked in place during use. To close, push down on both sides of the Axis Lock and fold the blade back into the handle.
3.2 Using the Bit Driver
The multitool includes a 4mm magnetic double-ended bit socket. To use, deploy the bit driver arm. Insert one of the 10-in-1 S2 steel bits (PH1, PH2, PH00, PH000, T8, T6, T5, H1.5, H2.0, SL2.0) into the magnetic socket. The magnetic retention will hold the bit securely. To change bits, simply pull out the current bit and insert another.

3.3 Deploying Other Tools
Most other tools, such as the serrated scissors, awl, file, crowbar, and bottle opener, can be deployed by gently pulling them out from their stored position. Some tools may feature a locking mechanism that requires a small lever or button to be pressed for retraction.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 General Safety
- Always handle the multitool with care, especially when deploying or retracting sharp blades and pointed tools.
- Ensure tools are fully locked in place before applying pressure during use.
- Keep fingers clear of moving parts and sharp edges.
- Store the multitool in its closed position when not in use.
4.2 Specific Tool Usage
- Knife: Use for cutting tasks. The Sandvik 14C28N blade is designed for excellent edge retention.
- Serrated Scissors: Ideal for cutting through tougher materials like fabric or cordage due to their serrated edge.
- Screwdriver Bits: Select the appropriate bit for the screw head. Apply firm, steady pressure while turning to prevent stripping the screw or damaging the bit.
- Crowbar: Use for light prying tasks. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the tool or the object being pried.
- Awl: Use to pierce holes in soft materials like leather or wood.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the multitool with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot points of the folding tools to ensure smooth operation.
- Sharpening: The knife blade and serrated scissors may require sharpening over time. Use appropriate sharpening tools and techniques for each type of edge. S2 steel bits are highly durable but can be replaced if worn.
- Storage: Store the multitool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
6. Troubleshooting
- Stiff Tools: If tools become stiff or difficult to deploy, clean the pivot points and apply a small amount of lubricant.
- Dull Blade/Scissors: Sharpen the blade or scissors as needed. Refer to sharpening guides for best results.
- Loose Screws: Periodically check all screws on the multitool and tighten them if necessary using appropriate small screwdrivers.
