How to use

Slide the blade out using the built-in slider to the required cutting length and lock it in position if the mechanism provides a lock. Align the blade with the cut line and apply steady pressure while moving the knife away from the body. Retract the blade after use and store the tool in a safe location. Replace the blade according to wear: ensure the knife is unloaded and the blade fully retracted before performing any blade change.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and cut-resistant practices when working with tough materials. For the best cutting results, make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut on thick or dense materials. Regularly inspect the blade and housing for damage and replace the blade at the first sign of dullness to maintain precision and reduce the risk of slipping.
