Conair SC-5 manual Checking Blades, DANGER Sharp blades

CHECKING BLADES

Blades become dull over time depending on the material being cut, cut rate, blade speed, and blade material and thickness. Check blades regularly for sharpness as well as scratches, nicks, burrs, and material buildup. Clean, sharpen or replace as needed (see Installing Cutter Blades, Section 3).

DANGER: Sharp blades!

Most injuries caused by knife blades occur when the cutter has been turned off. Handle blades with care at all times.

●Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the

cutting chamber is open and when handling blades.

●Always lock out the cutter before opening the cutting chamber.

●Always wait until the cutter head has stopped completely before opening the knife guard.

SC-5 Sure Cut cutters are equipped with sever- al safety devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove or disable these devices to sus- tain production. Operating without these devices can cause severe injury.

●When the knife guard is opened, the knife guard switch stops the cutter and prevents starting the cutter again.

●Two proximity-type safety switches prevent operation unless the cutter bushings are in place.

●The STOP button activates a circuit that stops the knife.
