How to use

Hold the rescue knife firmly by its handle and position the blade against the material to be cut. Apply steady pressure while pulling the blade through the seatbelt, rope or fabric in a controlled motion, keeping fingers and bystanders clear of the cutting line. For vehicle extrications, stabilise the casualty and the material to be cut before making any cuts. After use, clean the blade surface of contaminants and store the tool in its designated compartment to maintain readiness.

Usage recommendations

Store the rescue knife where it is easily reachable in an emergency, such as a vehicle glove compartment, door pocket or first aid kit. Regularly inspect the blade for damage or corrosion and replace the tool if performance is compromised. Train personnel on safe cutting techniques and single-handed operation to ensure effective use during time-critical incidents.
