Troubleshooting
Blade won't lock securely.
Ensure the blade is fully extended and the locking mechanism is engaged completely. Check for any debris in the locking track. If the issue persists, the blade holder or locking mechanism may be worn.
Difficulty snapping off blade segments.
Ensure the blade is extended sufficiently and aligned correctly with the snapper. Apply firm, consistent pressure. If segments are repeatedly difficult to snap, consider replacing the blade entirely if it's excessively worn.
Blade retracts unexpectedly.
Verify that the self-locking mechanism is fully engaged before and during use. If the blade retracts even with the lock engaged, the locking mechanism may be damaged or obstructed.
