How to use

Hold the utility knife with a firm grip and align the blade with the intended cut line. Apply steady, moderate pressure and use multiple shallow passes rather than attempting a single deep cut, especially on thick or layered materials. When the blade edge becomes dull, extend the blade to the next snap-off segment and break off the worn section along the scored line using the built-in breaker or a controlled bending motion. Replace the entire blade assembly when all segments are used or if the blade is damaged.

Recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection, when using the utility knife. Store the tool retracted and out of reach of minors. Use the correct blade type for the material being cut and avoid excessive force to reduce the risk of blade breakage. Dispose of used blade segments in a designated sharps container or wrap them securely before discarding.
