OPERATION
TO OPERATE POWER BUTTON - ON AND OFF
1. Make sure you have the fillet knife housing in the vertical orientation (Power Button on top)
firmly secured in hand.
2. Slide "Power Button Lock/Unlock" to unlock ( ) position.
3. Apply downward pressure to the positive-force power button. This will engage the fillet knife blade.
NOTE: Knife blade will engage only when downward pressure is applied to the positive-force power button and
store in a cool, clean, dry location.
W A R N IN G
Keep Power Button Lock/Unlock in lock ( ) position while fillet knife is not in use.
HOW TO FILLET
When filleting, you do not need to use a back and forth sawing motion.
You simply need to guide the blade. Let your electric knife do the work.
1) Make first cut just behind the gills. Slice down to the bone, then,
without removing blade, turn it and slice straight along backbone.
2) to the tail. Note that the fillet has been cut away from the rest of the
fish. After slicing fillet off at tail, turn fish over and repeat procedure on
the other side.
3) With both sides removed, you have cut away both fillets without
disturbing fish’s entrails. This is the neatest and fastest way to prepare
fish. Now to finish the fillets.
4) Insert blade close to rib bones and slice entire rib section away. This
should be done before skin is removed to keep waste to a minimum.
5) Removing the skin from each fillet is simply a matter of inserting the
knife at the tail and “cutting” the meat from the skin. With the proper
knife, it’s easily done.
6) Here is each fillet, ready for the pan or freezer. Note there is no waste.
Remember not to over-wash fillets.
NOTE:
If you are planning to use the Battery multiple times in a single
outing, it is ideal to remove the battery and place it back in the R12 case.

MAINTENANCE
WASH BLADES BEFORE USING
Before using your Rapala R12 HD Lithium Fillet Knife for the first time,
separate the blades, wash with soap and warm water. Use sponge or pads of non-scratching material.
This insures cleanliness and smoother operation. Occasionally, wipe a drop of vegetable oil between the blades
for food-safe lubrication.
HOW TO INSTALL & REMOVE BLADES. BE SURE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MOTOR
HOUSING WHEN INSERTING OR REMOVING BLADES AND WHEN KNIFE IS NOT IN USE. BE SURE TO SEPARATE
AND WASH THE BLADES WITH SOAP AND WARM WATER BEFORE AND AFTER USE.
1) If the blades are separated, pick up blades by flat extensions behind the plastic guards and slide the rivet
on one blade into the keyhole slot on the other blade. Bring the two blades together, make sure the tips
remained locked. Refer to illustration on pg 6 (KNOW YOUR RAPALA®R12 HD LITHIUM FILLET KNIFE) for reference.
2) Remove battery pack from knife, lock the safety switch, grip the plastic guards on the side away from
the cutting edge. Always handle by the side opposite the serrated cutting edge, the plastic guards or by flat
extensions behind the plastic guards. Position cutting edge in the same direction as the knife power button.
Insert flat extensions into housing until blades click into place.
3) The blades are extremely sharp. Always handle by the side opposite the serrated cutting edge, the plastic
guards or by flat extensions behind the plastic guards. Press the blade release button when removing the blades
from the motor housing.
