Key specifications

• Blade type: snap-off segmented blade for incremental renewal of the cutting edge
• Handle: lightweight, ergonomically shaped for improved grip and control
• Visibility: multicolour finish to aid quick identification in a toolbox or on-site
• Intended use: designed for precision cutting of paper, cardboard, thin plastics and similar materials

How to use

Hold the knife by the ergonomically shaped handle with a firm grip and position the blade at the correct angle for the material being cut. Apply steady, controlled pressure and guide the blade along the cutting line. When the blade becomes dull, snap off the used segment to expose a fresh cutting edge using the manufacturer’s recommended method for blade break-off. Replace the blade when all segments have been used or if the blade is damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when working with the utility knife. Store the knife with the blade retracted or in a protective sheath. For repeated heavy-duty cutting, consider a utility knife with a reinforced blade system to match the workload.
