To extend the blade, push the slider forward with your thumb until the blade reaches the desired cutting depth. To retract, pull the slider back until the blade is fully enclosed within the handle.
2. Using the Utility Knife
Hold the knife firmly with a secure grip. Position the blade against the material to be cut. Apply steady, even pressure and guide the knife along the desired cutting line. Always cut away from your body.

3. Integrated String Cutter
Some models of this utility knife include an integrated string cutter. This feature allows for quick cutting of twine, cord, or thin straps without fully extending the main blade. Locate the dedicated notch or hook on the knife body and carefully position the string within it, then pull to cut.

After each use, wipe down the knife handle and blade (when retracted) with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris or residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the tool's finish or components.

Refer to the "Blade Installation / Replacement" section under Setup for detailed instructions. Replace blades as soon as they become dull to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce the risk of injury.
3. Oppbevaring
Always ensure the blade is fully retracted before storing the knife. Store the knife in a dry, secure location, away from moisture and out of reach of children. The large hang hole allows for convenient pegboard storage.
