Bosch Snap Off Knife - Black/Green/Silver Steel

This knife uses 18 mm snap-off blades with 7 segments. It is compatible with commercially available blades of this specification.

The knife features an automatic blade replenishment system for safe and easy changes. Extend the blade fully, then follow the mechanism to release and insert a new blade.

Align the dull segment with the scoring line on the blade. Apply firm pressure against a hard edge or use the integrated snapper to break off the used part, revealing a fresh cutting edge.

The automatic blade lock engages when the blade is extended to secure it during use. Ensure the lock is properly set before cutting.

This knife is designed for precise cutting tasks. While durable, it is best suited for materials like cardboard, paper, carpet, and thin plastics rather than very thick or dense materials.

SK5 steel is a high-carbon steel known for its hardness and edge retention, making it suitable for sharp and durable cutting tools.

Check for debris in the blade channel and slider mechanism. Clean with a dry cloth. Ensure the blade is correctly seated and not bent.

Ensure the blade is fully extended and locked. Verify you are not applying excessive lateral force to the blade. Check if the blade segments are correctly aligned for snapping.

Snap off the dull segment of the blade by aligning it with the scoring mark and applying firm pressure. Replace the blade if all segments are used or damaged.

Inspect the blade lock for any obstructions. Ensure the blade is fully extended and properly engaged with the lock. If the issue persists, the locking mechanism may be worn and require blade replacement.
