How to use

Open the knife by unfolding the blade until it locks into the cutting position. Hold the ergonomic handle firmly and position the blade against the material to be cut. Apply steady, controlled pressure and move the knife along the cutting line. When the blade is dull, fold the knife for safety, then follow the blade change procedure: unlock the blade holder, remove the used blade and insert a replacement blade, ensuring it is properly seated and secured before use. After work, fold the blade into the handle for safe storage.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting motions with controlled pressure and keep fingers away from the blade path. Replace blades regularly to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce the need to apply excessive force. Store the folded knife in a dry place and inspect the mechanism periodically for debris or wear. Use the LAP-KNIFE for light to medium tasks; for heavy-duty cutting choose a tool designed for thicker materials.
