GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

1. EYE INJURY HAZARD. Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can result in severe eye injury or blindness. Always wear safety glasses with side shields which conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1 or EN 166.

2. Strap applied to a package is under tension and will rebound in an outward direction when cut.

3. Before using the cutter read its operation and safety instructions.

4. Use the correct Signode strap cutter for your application; if you need help contact your Signode representative. Never use a claw hammer, crowbar, chisel, ax, or similar tool to cut or break strap. Such tools will cause the strap to fly apart with hazardous force.

5. Keep work areas uncluttered and well lit.

CU-25 STRAP CUTTER

Part No. 005740

For cutting all strap up to 2" x .050" (50mm x

1.27mm).

CUTTING TENSIONED STRAP

1. Keep personnel at safe distance, away from possible flying strap ends.

6. Maintain proper footing and balance when cutting strap. Do not cut strap when you are in an awkward position. Take additional care when cutting ties on compressed loads; strap will recoil with a much greater force. Be careful when cutting straps as the load can shift.

7. Strap should always be cut square; strap cut at an angle has a much sharper end.

8. Dispose of all cut strap. Never leave it lying on the ground where it can present a tripping hazard. Never reuse strap.

9. Take good care of the cutter. Inspect it daily for worn or damaged cutting surfaces. Do not use this tool if these surfaces are worn or damaged.

10. Always wear protective gloves when handling strap or sharp parts.

2. Stand to one side of the strap as it is being cut, OUTSIDE OF THE DANGER ZONE (dotted area).

3. Cut strap.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT DESTROY THIS MANUAL. It is the customer's responsibility to have all operators and service personnel read and understand this manual. Contact your local Signode representative for additional copies of this manual.
