Check the sharpness of your utility knife's edge and avoid using dull blades which increase the risk of potential accidents. Break off dull blade edge or replace the blade with a new one when needed

Don't extend the utility knife blade more than the required level.

Use the utility knife only for a proper purpose. Do not use for any improper purpose such as using as a scraper or screwdriver.

While using a utility knife, do not try to catch it when you drop it from your hand. Make sure that a cutting surface is smooth and suitable.

Pay attention to cut materials on a suitable surface. Never try to cut cables or such kinds of materials without setting them on the cutting surface.

Put enough distance between your body and the cutting line. Always set the cutting line parallel to your body thus it will be easier to protect yourself from a potential accident.

Do not use a utility knife if your hands contact with slippery substances until your hands get clean and dry.
