2.5 Safety regulations with respect to the equipment
• Store the cutter with the blade tips over each other to prevent injury.
• Make sure a protective flexible shield is inserted between the place where the cut will be made and
the victim(s).
• Make sure the material to be cut is placed as deeply as possible in the blade opening.
• Avoid cutting with the blade tips.
• Avoid contact with the tips and cutting edges of the blades so you do not injure yourself.
• Never cut sections that are under hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical pressure or electrical current.
• If the blades are not perpendicular to the material to be cut, the blades may separate. This is a
dangerous situation that can result in serious damage to the equipment and serious injury.
Stop immediately if the blades separate.
• This tool is intended for operation with one hand. Keep your other hand away from the blades.
2.6 Safety regulations with respect to the operation of the system
• Make a risk assessment of the procedure before you start work (EN-ISO 12100).
• Keep bystanders at a distance and be extra careful in the vicinity of people and animals.
• Make sure the work area is clearly laid out and has good lighting.
• Avoid stress and work in a structured way. This reduces the risk of errors, combinations of dangers
and accidents.
• Before use, check the equipment for damage. Do not use the equipment if it is not in good condition
and consult your Holmatro dealer.
