Wrap electrical tape around the line where you want to cut it and cut it with a fine tooth hacksaw.

If the braid flares out a little and you can't get it into the fitting, put a screw-type hose clamp about 1/8" from the end of the hose and tighten it down until it squeezes the hose enough to get the fitting on.
