Put a hose clip around the hose with one edge where you want to cut and tighten it up a little but don't distort the hose. Use a stanley knife with a new blade to cut around the hose using the edge of the clip as your guide. For the bit by the screw either move the clip around the hose or do it by eye.

I used a hose clip too. But I used a hacksaw to cut it IIRC. Flies through it in seconds.
