How to use the glass cutting machine and precautions

Glass cutting machine is a specialised machinery and equipment used for glass processing and undercutting. Using a glass cutting machine includes steps such as taking good safety precautions, starting the machine, setting parameters, and fixing the glass; while precautions include keeping an eye on it, making sure the power supply is safe, checking the status of the equipment, and avoiding damage to the glass.

How to use the glass cutting machine:

Safety protection: before using the glass cutting machine, the operator should take appropriate safety protection measures. Including but not limited to wearing gloves, protective glasses and special iron shoes, in order to avoid glass shards causing injury to the operator during operation.

Preparation for start-up: Switch on the power, start the glass cutter and prepare to start the cutting operation. Make sure the surrounding environment is safe and free of debris, and the working table is tidy and free of foreign objects.

Setting parameters: According to the size and shape of the glass to be cut, adjust the cutter wheel height, cutting speed and other parameters of the cutter. For manual glass cutters, this may involve replacing the cutter wheel and mould with appropriate ones.

Fix the glass: Place the glass to be cut on the cutting table and firmly fix the glass using the mechanical fixing device or adsorption function to prevent it from shifting during the cutting process.

Start cutting: Start the cutting machine so that the cutter wheel starts cutting the glass according to the preset line. The operator should closely monitor the cutting process to ensure that the cutting accuracy and glass are not damaged.

Control speed: Reasonably control the cutting speed, too fast may lead to glass breakage, too slow will affect the efficiency. The cutting speed should be adjusted according to the thickness and material of the glass.

Lubrication and cooling: During the cutting process, adequate lubrication and proper cooling should be ensured to maintain the life of the knife wheel and cutting quality.

Cleaning and checking: After completing the cutting, the glass fragments on the table and knife wheel should be cleaned up in time, and the cut glass should be checked to ensure that the size and edges meet the requirements.

Switch off the machine for maintenance: After the job is finished, switch off the glass cutting machine and carry out routine maintenance and cleaning to ensure the equipment is in good working condition.

Precautions for using the glass cutting machine:

Keep attention: the operation must be fully concentrated, keep a clear mind, is strictly prohibited after drinking or under the influence of drugs to operate machinery.

Ensure the safety of power supply: the power line must be safe and reliable, do not pull the wire privately, to prevent accidents caused by power problems.

Check the state of the equipment: before use, carefully check whether the various parts of the glass cutting machine is intact, to confirm that there is no loose or damaged parts, to ensure that the equipment is in good condition.

Avoid damaging the glass: check the glass for scratches, white spots and other defects before cutting to ensure the quality of the raw material and that mass production can only be carried out after the first piece is qualified.

Correct operation: Strictly follow the operation guide to avoid glass breakage or machine failure due to improper operation.

Wear equipment: Wear the recommended protective equipment during operation, such as gloves, protective glasses, iron shoes, etc., to ensure safe operation.

Timely Maintenance: Regularly service and maintain the glass cutting machine, especially the knife wheel part, in order to prolong the service life and keep the cutting precision.

Safe operating environment: Ensure the operating environment is stable and safe, the working area is clean and tidy, the light is suitable, avoid operating the machine on the wet or slippery ground.

In summary, the operation of glass cutting machine involves many details, from safety protection to equipment operation, to maintenance, all need to strictly follow the implementation of procedures to ensure both efficient and safe production process. At the same time, the need to remain focused during operation, follow the correct workflow, regular maintenance of the equipment, as well as always pay attention to the safety of the production, these are the key factors to ensure the success of the operation. By analysing the key points in detail above, a reference guide can be provided for operating a glass cutting machine to ensure a smooth operation.
