Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: After use, especially when cutting adhesive materials, clean the blade and knife body with a dry cloth to remove any residue. For stubborn residue, a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth can be used, ensuring the knife is completely dry afterward.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small drop of light machine oil to the pivot point of the blade to ensure smooth operation of the axis lock mechanism.
- Storage: Always store the knife with the blade fully retracted in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
- Blade Replacement: Replace blades as soon as they become dull to maintain cutting efficiency and safety. Dull blades require more force and can lead to accidents.
