Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, loosen the collet at the tip of the handle, insert your chosen blade until secure, and tighten the collet firmly. Ensure the blade is fully seated to prevent movement during use. Regarding compatibility, the handle uses a standard fitment compatible with most generic No. 1 precision blades. To care for your set, wipe blades with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove adhesives or debris. Store the blades in their protective case to prevent dulling, and never store the knife with a blade exposed. Regularly check the collet for tightness to ensure safety during high-precision cuts.
