How to use

Hold the Bahco KE18-01 firmly with the textured side of the handle against your palm. Extend the blade to the required length using the slider control and make straight, controlled cuts with steady pressure. When a blade segment becomes dull, retract the blade, align a clean snap-off tool or the built-in breaker if present, and remove the dull segment along the scored line to expose a fresh cutting edge. Replace the blade or dispose of segments according to local safety and waste regulations.

Recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and safety glasses when cutting tougher materials. Store the knife with the blade retracted and keep out of reach of children. For precise or heavy-duty cutting, use appropriate stable cutting surfaces and replace blade segments regularly to maintain consistent performance.
