A housing connected to a body portion and capable of swinging covers the other side of the cutter and has a first housing slot and a second housing slot formed that communicate with the cutting edge. The housing swings between a first position, a second position, and a third position. In the first position, the first housing slot communicates with the first shield slot to expose the cutting edge for cutting purposes.
