2.1 Installation Recommendations & Safety
Checking the Flat Surface
Please note that it is essential that the cutter is used on a flat surface for accuracy. A warped
or bowed table top can induce a twist or bend in the Cutter Bar resulting in a bowed cut.
Safety
When lifting, moving or transporting the Safety Cutter, please ensure that the Sliding Lock is
engaged with the Cutter Head and the locking screw is tightened. This prevents the Cutter
Head from sliding and the Cutter Bar from lifting.
The blade must be removed before cleaning the Safety Cutter.
Do not place your fingers near the blade when using the Safety Cutter.
Do not use the Safety Cutter if there are any signs of damage to the Cutter Head or Cutter
Bar assembly.
Care should be taken when storing the Safety Cutter to ensure that the Cutter Head is
secured and cannot be damaged.
Extreme care should be taken when changing blades as they are very sharp. Please dispose
of used blades safely using a sharps bin whenever possible.
3. Set-Up
3.1 Blades & Blade Holder
Medium Duty Blades
The Safety Cutter has been supplied with Medium Duty utility blades which are the most
appropriate option for cutting thermoplastic materials. The Safety Cutter is supplied with a
pack of 100 of these blades as standard.
The vertical action Cutter Head reliably controls the blade depth and eliminates the need for
heavy downward hand pressure when cutting thermoplastic materials. The Cutter Head and
blades provide a smooth consistent cutting action.
Blades should be replaced or reversed when cutting becomes difficult because the blade
has become blunt.
The Medium Duty utility blades are double ended so can be switched round before disposal.
(See Operation 4.2 for Replacing Medium Duty Blades)
