The safety issues of paper cutting machines are easily overlooked by many digital printing practitioners, and there are several aspects that affect the safe use of paper cutting machines:

1. Braking device. Many manufacturers, in order to save money, adopt the principle of circuit braking, that is, through the upper and lower limits

The brake is applied by cutting off the power supply to the cutting knife motor by the sensor. This device may cause extremely dangerous situations such as "knife slipping" in the event of sudden power outage, loose socket, sensor failure, etc. In order to prevent this situation from happening, it is necessary to use motor components with mechanical braking devices, so that no matter what circuit failure occurs, the motor is locked to avoid accidents.

2. Dual button operation principle. This requires both buttons to be pressed simultaneously, otherwise the cutter motor will not operate, which can ensure the safety of single person operation.

In actual use, two people often cooperate to operate, making the situation very dangerous. This requires the paper cutter to be equipped with front and rear safety covers. When the safety cover is opened, the motor will not operate to ensure safety.

4. The above are safety factors that affect the use process. Therefore, during maintenance and upkeep, it is important to pay attention to replacing the blade and using a knife holder to ensure that the blade edge is closed, ensuring both human safety and the blade edge is not damaged.

Furthermore, the removed blades must not be left unused to avoid injury to people.

Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to purchase equipment with high safety factors. Furthermore, it is necessary to cultivate good usage habits in order to ensure safety in work.
