## Important notes

The blade is very sharp. Use a cutting mat, close the blade guard after each cut, and keep the cutter away from children. Match the 45mm straight-handle tool, not the 28mm or squeeze-handle versions. Japan and United States packaging and safety labels differ.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
