the best way to protect your fingers is to NEVER EVER have them hanging over the side of your ruler- it is very important to always practice safety- and place your fingers on top of the ruler safely away from the edge\ if you are not sure how to properly use your cutter you should first thing watch some videos demonstrating the technique-a rotory cutter is a round razor blade-and can easily do major harm when not used properly. i kind of think the gloves give a false sense of safety- the safest way is to never use it when upset- or distracted- pay attention to what you are doing and how you are doing it. never lay it down open- if your rulers have worn edges/knicks= replace them=never use a cutter with damaged rulers....Safety should always come first
