1) Engage the lock to hold the blade housing steady. 2) Open the blade cover or blade access until you can remove the old blade. 3) Insert a new 18mm blade with the sharp edge facing forward. 4) Close the blade cover securely and test the lock before use.

The manual lock secures the blade during use to prevent wobble or kickback. To unlock, slide the lock button or lever away from the blade area to reveal the blade slot for replacement or safe storage. To lock, slide the button back to engage the blade housing and keep the blade stationary during cutting.

Ideal for packaging, shipping prep, scrapbooking, matting, and DIY projects that require strong, precise cuts. The wooden handle makes it comfortable for extended use, and the 18mm blade handles a variety of materials with clean results.

- Always keep fingers away from the blade edge and use the lock when not cutting. - Wear cut-resistant gloves if handling tough materials. - Keep the blade sharp and replace dull blades promptly to avoid ragged cuts. - Store with the blade retracted/covered when not in use and out of reach of children.
