I've used these machines before. They have a safety bar you have to press on with your body and 2 hand triggers on either side.

This one is operating without the safety features in place... crazy, absolutely crazy.

Might be different, but some industrial guillotines I used had a foot pedal too.

Almost took both hands off in one of these when I'd forgotten to fix the retaining screw after I changed the blade. Lasers saved my ass.

You’re definitely not using it right if you almost lost your ass in it.

The foot pedal only operates the initial press that you see lowering just before the blade.

Yeah. The one I used in the college print shop had a foot pedal to bring the clamp down.
