  • Keep fingers and body parts clear of the blade path during use and blade changes.
  • Ensure the blade is fully retracted when the knife is not in use.
  • Store the knife and spare blades out of reach of children and in a secure location.
  • Ikke bruk sløve eller skadede kniver. Replace them promptly to prevent accidents and ensure efficient cutting.

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.

Vedlikehold

1. Rengjøring

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.

2. Utskifting av blad

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.
