The Crystal Key Hints
How does the Multi-Tool work?
1 of 5: The "on" button is on the top of it.
2 of 5: The switch has 2 positions to select one of the two functions.
3 of 5: Clicking toward the front of the switch turns on a torch.
4 of 5: Select the clippers function by clicking on the back of the switch.
5 of 5: If you are having trouble getting the Multi-Tool to respond, try a Slow, Firm and Deliberate Grab-and-Drag technique. Saving your game and trying again with a frest system start-up may free up memory. (Also see General Performance Problems)
