How to use

To replace a blade, follow the safety procedure recommended for your 18 mm utility knife: retract or remove the old blade, unlock the blade holder mechanism if present, insert the new STANLEY 18 mm blade with the cutting edge oriented correctly, secure the holder and test the blade engagement at low force. Use steady, controlled strokes when cutting and allow the blade to do the work rather than applying excessive force. Dispose of used blades following local safety guidelines, for example in a blade-safe container.

Usage recommendations

Store blades in their original packaging and keep out of reach of children. Replace blades as soon as cutting becomes inefficient or the edge is visibly worn. For precise or delicate work, use light passes and a sharp blade; for thicker materials, use multiple shallow cuts rather than one deep cut to maintain control and blade life.
