• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection, especially during blade changes or demanding cutting tasks.

3. Opsætning

3.1 Udpakning og inspektion

Carefully remove the utility knife and any included accessories, such as extra blades, from their packaging. Inspect the product for any signs of damage. If the product appears damaged, do not use it and contact customer support immediately.

3.2 Montering og udskiftning af kniv

The WORKPRO Utility Knife is designed for quick and easy blade changes. It includes 10 extra blades. Follow these steps to install a new blade or replace an existing one:

1. Ensure the blade slider is in the fully retracted position, with no blade exposed.
2. Locate the black quick-release button on the side of the knife, near the blade opening. Press and hold this button.
3. While holding the button, push the blade slider forward until the existing blade (or the empty blade holder) is fully extended and can be removed.
4. Carefully remove the old blade. Dispose of used blades safely in a designated puncture-proof container.
5. Insert a new standard utility blade into the slot, ensuring it is correctly oriented and seated against the internal pins.
6. Release the quick-release button and retract the blade slider backward until the blade is fully secured within the knife body.
7. Before use, gently pull on the blade to confirm it is firmly locked and does not wobble.

4.1 Blade Extension and Retraction

The WORKPRO Utility Knife features a retractable blade with three adjustable cutting positions to suit different material thicknesses and cutting requirements.

• To extend the blade: Push the black slider button forward with your thumb. The blade will click into one of the three available cutting positions. Select the position that provides the necessary blade exposure for your task.
• To retract the blade: Pull the black slider button backward until the blade is fully enclosed within the knife body. Always ensure the blade is fully retracted when the knife is not in use or when storing it.

4.2 Generelle skæreprocedurer

This utility knife is effective for cutting a wide range of materials, including cardboard, carpet, drywall, rope, vinyl, leather, and flooring. Observe the following guidelines for safe and efficient cutting:

• Always place the material to be cut on a stable, flat, and cut-resistant surface.
• Extend the blade only to the depth required for the material. Avoid over-extending the blade unnecessarily.
• Apply firm, consistent pressure and always cut away from your body and any bystanders.
• For thicker or tougher materials, it is safer and often more effective to make several shallow passes rather than attempting one deep cut.
• The ergonomic design of the knife provides a comfortable grip for extended use.

5. Vedligeholdelse

5.1 Udskiftning af knive

Regular blade replacement is crucial for maintaining cutting performance and safety. A dull blade requires more force, increasing the risk of slippage and injury. Refer to Section 3.2 for detailed instructions on how to replace the blade.

5.2 Rengøring og opbevaring

• After each use, wipe the blade and the knife body clean of any debris, adhesive, or residue.
• Always ensure the blade is fully retracted before storing the knife.
• Store the knife in a dry environment, protected from moisture, to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Keep the knife and all spare blades in a secure location, inaccessible to children and individuals who are not trained in its safe use.

6. Fejlfinding

• Blade not extending or retracting smoothly: Inspect the blade channel for any accumulated debris or obstructions. Clean the mechanism thoroughly. If the issue persists, the blade itself might be bent or damaged; replace it as per Section 3.2.
• Blade feels dull or tears material instead of cutting cleanly: This indicates that the blade has lost its sharpness and needs to be replaced. Refer to Section 3.2 for blade replacement instructions.
• Blade is loose or wobbles during use: Ensure the blade is correctly seated within the holder and that the quick-release button is fully disengaged, thereby locking the blade securely in its position. If the problem continues after replacing the blade, contact customer support.
