Eezycut Line Cutter with Hard Pouch

Overview
The TRILOBITE uses a patented cutting mechanism. Due to manufacturing tolerances where the blade sits, the blade may lean slightly to one side; this can cause the tool to feel different when cutting on one side versus the other.

Cutting Line

The tool is rated to cut rope and line up to 8 mm thick and can cut up to 12 mm with proper technique. For best results, place tension on the line while cutting. The tool can be held with the index finger and thumb over the slot, or with the index finger extended over the front of the frame. Holding the index finger over the slot converts the tool into a one-sided cutting action.

Safety: The blade is sharp and well protected but can still cause injury. Take care when cutting and when returning the tool to its sheath.

Cutting Thicker Line

Although rated to 8 mm, users can cut up to 12 mm by applying tension and using the techniques described above.

Cutting Webbing

The TRILOBITE is rated to cut webbing of all thicknesses. For optimal cutting of webbing, extend your index finger over the front of the frame. With the webbing in the slot, pull back while pushing the front of the tool down with the index finger in a hooking motion; the movement should come from the wrist. Aim to complete the cut before the webbing reaches the end of the arm.

Changing the Blade

• Wear nitrile gloves for protection.
• Unscrew the hex nuts and open the tool at the front using the pry hole.
• Gently open at the locators, lift off the old blade, and dispose of it safely.
• Insert the new blade, reassemble, and tighten the hex nuts.
• Push the tool together at the locators. Close the arms with your fingers or very gently with pliers; avoid over-tightening to prevent minor fissures at the ends.

If minor fissures do occur they do not affect function, but avoid excessive force when reassembling.
