FAQs

How do I safely retract the blade?

To retract the blade, press the release button and slide the blade carriage fully into the handle until it locks securely. Always retract the blade when not in use.

What type of blades are compatible with this knife?

This AVIT Trimming Knife is designed for specific AVIT replacement blades. Please check the product documentation or AVIT's official website for a list of compatible blade models.

How do I adjust the cutting depth?

The knife features 4 lockable positions for variable cutting depths. Select your desired depth by extending or retracting the blade to the corresponding notch.

Is this knife suitable for heavy-duty cutting?

While durable, this trimming knife is best suited for general-purpose cutting tasks, crafting, and light to medium-duty applications. For heavy-duty demolition or very thick materials, a different type of cutting tool may be more appropriate.

How often should I replace the blade?

Blade replacement frequency depends on usage and the material being cut. Replace the blade when you notice dullness, reduced cutting performance, or visible damage.

Can I use this knife in wet conditions?

It is recommended to keep the knife dry to prevent rust or damage to the internal mechanism. Avoid using it in excessively wet environments.

Troubleshooting

Blade does not auto-load

Ensure the blade is correctly seated in the carriage and that there is no obstruction in the loading mechanism. Check for debris.

Difficulty changing cutting depth

Make sure the blade is extended to allow access to the depth adjustment. Clean any debris around the locking mechanism.

Blade retracts unexpectedly

Check if the blade lock is fully engaged in the desired cutting position. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for damage.

Knife feels sticky or stiff

Clean the body of the knife and the sliding mechanisms with a dry cloth. Lubrication is generally not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer for specific parts.
