How to use

Hold the Metabo utility knife with a firm but comfortable grip and position the blade against the material at a shallow angle for controlled cuts.

Follow the manufacturer’s guidance on blade replacement to ensure the mechanism is secured before use.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, wear cut-resistant gloves when working with slippery materials or applying higher force. Store replacement blades in their original packaging and dispose of used blades in a designated sharps container or wrapped securely to prevent accidental injury. Do not use the knife on hard materials beyond its intended scope, such as metal or masonry, and avoid applying excessive lateral force to prevent blade breakage.
