here's a review of the eight points you will need to use.

1. title: the title, usually in larger or darker print, tells the purpose of the instruction sheet.

2. subtitles: the subtitles are usually capitalized and list the different parts of the instructions.

3. numbered steps: the steps of the process are numbered to guide the reader in following the proper order.

4. explanation of how: exact information on how to do a specific thing enables the reader to successfully complete tasks never before attempted.

5. explanation of why: the reader is told why he is doing a particular action to aid his understanding and thus provide for better results.

6. use of examples: the use of examples to clarify the how's and why's of the process being described.

7. use of contrast, or antithesis: this device make directions clear by creating a mental picture of something that is unlike something else.

8. use of comparison, or analogy: this device also gives a mental picture so that an instruction is more readily understood. for example, the directions may say, "the clearance should be 1/32" (half the width of a penny)." you may not know how wide 1/32 of an inch is, but you can imagine the thickness of a penny.
