How to use

Hold the knife by the ergonomic handle with a firm but comfortable grip and position the blade at the required cutting angle. For straight cuts, use steady, even pressure and guide the blade along a ruler or edge if available. When cutting materials such as carpet or vinyl, perform multiple shallow passes rather than attempting a single deep cut to preserve blade sharpness and maintain control. After use, wipe the blade clean and store the knife in a safe place away from children.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when working with the knife. Replace the blade if it becomes dull, nicked or damaged to maintain cutting performance and reduce the risk of slipping. Avoid using the fixed-blade knife on hardened metals or materials outside the tool's intended range to prevent blade damage and ensure safe operation.
