Cutting safely all around

With a cutting tool from MARTOR, you are already on the safe side. However, the ergonomics of your workplace, lighting and acoustics also affect your well-being and efficiency. We would like to touch on this here. In addition to cutting, there are other tasks such as blade changing and cleaning. We have made both of these as easy and safe as possible.

Requirements for a safe cutting workstation

With MARTOR's high-quality safety knives, you can rely on proven safety technology. It protects the user from cuts and the packaged goods from damage.

OUR FOCUS: SAFE CUTTING TOOLS

01. Cutting

You want to work efficiently, and to do that, you need a sharp blade above all else. It's handy when this blade is housed in a robust and ergonomic handle that also protects you from cutting accidents "along the way". In other words, if you're not paying attention, your MARTOR safety knives will come to your aid. Choose the safety technology that suits you best. The higher the safety level, the lower the number of cuts and puncture wounds.

02. Transport and storage

Where should you put your cutting tool when you're not using it? No, your trouser pocket is not the best place. Custom-fit holsters and belt holsters are more suitable, and MARTOR offers a wide selection of these. The containers are so sturdy and durable that there is no risk of the blade piercing through them. You also always know where your safety knives are – within easy reach. The belt holsters also have space for your spare blades, pens, etc.

03. Blade changing and disposal

If the sharp blade becomes blunt at some point, you will need to turn it over or ultimately replace it entirely. MARTOR safety knives are designed so that you can access the blade easily, safely and without tools. Caution: Do not touch the cutting edge! The old blade should be disposed of in a secure collection container, such as our SAMMELBOX and our SAFEBOX. Under no circumstances should you throw the blade loose into the waste paper basket or put it in the general waste.

04. Cleaning and care

Your cutting tool is exposed to dust, dirt and other substances. Material residues such as adhesive tape, foil, etc. stick to it. To ensure that the safety function is not impaired and that everything remains smooth-running, you must clean your safety knives regularly. For example, with compressed air or water; even simply tapping it out can help. Always remove the blade first. Here, too, you benefit from the fact that MARTOR safety knives are particularly easy to open.
