The issue of the safe use of paper cutters is often easily overlooked by paper practitioners, but it must be taken seriously. The factors that affect the safety of the paper cutter in general are as follows:
1. Brake device. In order to save costs, many manufacturers or companies are reluctant to spend money on the brake device of the paper cutter to use a relatively backward circuit brake device. This kind of braking device is likely to produce a "sliding knife" situation in the event of sudden power failure, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, it is recommended that a mechanical brake can be installed on the paper cutter to prevent accidental power failure.
2. Button. Many paper cutters now use two-button operation. In simple terms, the paper cutter will start to work when two buttons are pressed at the same time. This greatly guarantees the safety of the operator when operating alone.
3. Blade. Normal cutters are safer in normal operation, but be very careful when doing cutter maintenance or replacing the blades, because even the obsolete blades are very sharp in normal sight.
