How to use

Install the blade into a compatible utility knife or drywall cutter following the tool manufacturer’s instructions and ensuring the blade is securely seated. For scoring plasterboard, mark the cut line, apply steady pressure and draw the blade along a straight edge or guide to create a uniform score. After scoring, snap or fold the board along the score line if applicable, then trim the back paper to complete the cut. Replace the blade when cutting quality diminishes or when visible wear or damage appears.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, when handling and installing blades. Store blades flat in a dry location to prevent edge damage. Match the blade to a compatible cutter model and avoid excessive force to prolong blade life and maintain cut quality.
