Cutting tensioned strap

When cutting strapping, use the proper strapping cutter and keep other personnel and yourself at a safe
distance from the strap. Always stand to side of the strap, away from the direction the loosened strap end will
fly. Use only cutters designed for strap and never hammers, pliers, hacksaws, axes, etc.

Fall hazard

footing and/or balance when operating the tool can cause you to fall. Before tensioning and especially in
elevated areas, always establish good balance. Both feet should be securely placed on a flat, solid surface,
