Usage recommendations

For safe operation, always cut away from your body and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when necessary. Use the knife on a stable cutting surface and avoid twisting the blade while cutting to reduce the risk of breakage. Store the tool with the blade retracted and out of reach of children. Replace blades regularly to maintain clean, efficient cuts and to reduce the need for excessive force.
