01

TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—paper cutter uses collar leverage in cutting motion

02

Release immediately when partner taps; the cutting motion can lock rapidly

03

Apply pressure gradually through the collar cutting rather than suddenly

04

Partner communication is important as sensation may differ from standard collars

05

Tap on sensation of collar cutting or carotid pressure building progressively
