Always be sure that blades are properly seated in knives and that knives are properly closed and/or fastened together before use. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
Always use sharp blades. A dull blade requires more force and is more likely to slip than a sharp one. Change the blade whenever it starts to tear instead of cut. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
Always keep your free hand (and other body parts) away from the line of the cut. Always wear a cut resistant glove on your free hand while cutting with a razor knife. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
Always pull— never push the knife. The blade could break off—wedging in the material and cutting your arm severely. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans, loosen screws or pry loose objects Blades are brittle and can snap easily. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
Never leave a blade open. Always retract the blade when not in use. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
When making cut-outs on rolls always pull the knife down. Never push it away from you. When using a knife to cut through thick materials, be patient - make several passes, cutting a little deeper into the material with each pass. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
Tips For Changing Blades • Carefully remove the used blade from the knife. • Always hold the blade at the non-sharp side. • Discard the used blade in a safe place. Carefully wrap it in several layers of tape to cover sharp side and points. • Make sure to re-assemble the knife correctly. Make sure screw is tight. BOISE Packaging--Wallula
