How do I ensure the cutter is safe to store?
Always engage the safety locking function to secure the blade when the tool is not in use. This prevents accidental cuts.
What type of grip does the handle have?
The handle features a TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) soft grip, providing comfort and a secure, non-slip hold.

What is the overall length of the hose cutter?

How does the spring-loaded handle benefit the user?
The spring-loaded mechanism helps to automatically open the jaws after a cut, making the cutting process smoother and reducing the effort required for repeated use.
Troubleshooting
Cutter is difficult to close or open
Check the pivot point for debris. Clean and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Ensure the safety lock is fully disengaged.
Blade is not cutting cleanly
The blade may be dull or damaged. Inspect the blade and consider replacing it with a new one (Part No. 61857). Ensure the hose is positioned correctly within the cutter's jaws.
Hose gets crushed instead of cut
Ensure the hose is centered within the cutter jaws and that the cutter is closed with a firm, consistent motion. For very soft hoses, it might be beneficial to slightly stiffen the area being cut if possible.
Safety lock is stuck
Gently try to wiggle the lock mechanism while applying slight pressure. Ensure no debris is obstructing its movement. If persistent, contact the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Laser Tools Hose Cutter is ready for immediate use. Ensure the safety lock is disengaged before attempting to cut.
Compatibility:
This cutter is designed for flexible hoses with a maximum outer diameter of 32mm. It is most effective on standard rubber or plastic tubing. It may struggle with extremely rigid materials or hoses with embedded metal reinforcement.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blade and handles clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the composite handle or TPR grip.
- Storage: Always engage the safety locking function when storing the cutter to protect the blade and prevent accidental injury.
- Blade Maintenance: Periodically inspect the stainless steel blade for any signs of damage or dullness. If performance degrades, replace the blade using spare blades (Part No. 61857) following the instructions provided with the spare parts.
- Lubrication: A light application of a suitable lubricant on the pivot point can help maintain smooth operation.
