CHAPTER 1
PRECAUTIONS
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The autocutter is an exclusive autocutter for SII’s LTP F Series thermal printer mechanism.
When it is used in a combination of the printer other than the LTP F Series printer, safety, cutting quality
and life of the autocutter may not be guaranteed.
For safe use, design the product, taking into consideration, the following precautions.
Make sure the precautions are written in the User’s Guide etc. so that the users are notified of them.
•
Paper cutting:
Cut paper when the paper feeding has stopped completely.
•
Temperature-rise of the motor:
If current continues to flow to the motor spindle (movable blade), when the motor spindle is stopped
by external factors, the motor may overheat and cause a burnout of the motor and the burn on the
personnel. Therefore, protect the motor by driving the motor according to the flowchart for driving
shown in Figure 4-2.
Also, allow cooling by designing clearance between the motor and the outer case.
•
Blade part:
In the ACU F Series, a part of the movable blade and the fixed blade are placed outside of the
autocutter so that paper can be set separately of the autocutter. The movable blade protrudes from
the autocutter during cutting.
Design a structure such as a shutter in the outer case to prevent the user from touching the blades
during cutting or while replacing paper, or else provide sufficient warnings.
Ex: Put up warning labels where they can be easily seen.
•
Moving part:
Warn the user not to touch the motor lock release knob during the operation of the autocutter.
•
Sharp edges of the autocutter:
The cutting surface of metal parts may cause injury to the user. Provide warnings to alert users to
this danger. Ex: Put up warning labels where they can be easily seen.
•
Fixed blade:
The fixed blade has sharp edges and is therefore dangerous. Warn users not to touch the fixed blade
directly.
Ex: Put up warning labels where they can be easily seen.
