How to use

Hold the utility knife with a firm grip and extend the blade to the required length according to the thickness of the material. Make controlled cuts with steady pressure, keeping the blade at a shallow angle for thin materials and a slightly steeper angle for thicker materials. When the cutting edge becomes dull, snap off the used segment along the scored line while holding the blade securely to expose a fresh edge. Replace the blade or blade cassette if segments are exhausted or damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection. Ensure the blade is fully retracted when storing the knife. Dispose of used blade segments in a puncture-resistant container. For dense or reinforced materials, use multiple shallow passes rather than excessive force to prolong blade life and maintain cutting accuracy.
