Sharp objects make me nervous, what are some safety features to prevent me from getting hurt?
Safety is Dahle’s #1 concern. We realize our responsibility in designing safety features that are useful, automatic and unobtrusive to the user. The following are safety features incorporated on most of our Large Format Guillotines: • Paper clamp: The large format guillotines feature either a foot or hand clamp to securely hold your work in place and keep hands away from the cutting surface. • Safety shield: The metal or acrylic (depending on model) provides a permanent barrier from your hands and the cutting blade. • Self-sharpening blade: Ensures your blade is always sharp and cuts easily through material without the need to apply excessive force. • Non-slip rubber feet: Prevents the trimmer from moving while you are cutting. • Exact placement blade: Prevents the blade from flying up or falling down after use. • Lockable blades: Prevents unauthorized use (567/569 only).
