The EPM Safety Utility Knife with Trapezoid Blade E-400-0428 is a handheld cutting tool designed for controlled, everyday cutting tasks. It features a guarded blade area and a compact ergonomic body intended to reduce accidental contact with the edge while providing stable handling. The knife accepts trapezoid replacement blades suitable for cutting cardboard, paper, tape and light packaging materials in workshops, warehouses, retail environments or at home.

Advantages

The guarded blade design limits exposure to the cutting edge, improving user safety during repetitive tasks. The compact ergonomic body offers a secure grip and precise control for straight cuts and trimming. Compatibility with trapezoid replacement blades ensures easy blade changes and consistent cutting performance. Its lightweight construction makes it suitable for extended use without causing undue hand fatigue.

Key specifications

• Tool type: handheld safety utility knife with guarded blade area
• Blade shape: trapezoid (trapezium) replacement blade compatible
• Intended materials: cardboard, paper, tape, light packaging materials
• Handle: compact ergonomic body for controlled handling

How to use

Hold the knife by its ergonomic body with a firm one-handed grip and position the guarded blade edge against the material to be cut. Apply steady, controlled pressure and move the knife along the cutting line. For thicker materials, make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut. Replace the trapezoid blade when it becomes dull, following safe blade-change procedures: ensure the tool is positioned on a stable surface, use protective gloves if required, and secure the new blade in place according to the manufacturer's method.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool for light to medium duty cutting tasks where blade exposure reduction is important. Store the knife with the blade retracted or covered when not in use, keep out of reach of children, and wear appropriate hand protection during repetitive or forceful cutting operations.
