The hot rod adapter is used for free cutting of polystyrene foams and the thick-
ness of cut is greater than in the case of wire cutting, while there are no size
limits.
The engraving adapter is used to cut low-thickness foamed polystyrene or to cut
diff erent shapes in foamed polystyrene.
Connect the selected adapter to the handle by inserting it in the handle socket
(III).
Switching the device on and off
Note! As soon as the unit is switched on, it will start to heat up and then maintain
the rated temperature automatically when it is reached.
Therefore, make sure that the switch is in the OFF setting, and then connect the
selected adapter to the tool. Connect the power supply plug (IV) to the socket at
the end of the handle. Switch the tool ON and then keep the tool on the stand so
that the cutting blade does not come into contact with any object and is not close
to any fl ammable materials. Keep away at least 10 cm from the cutting blade.
Place the tool stand on a non-fl ammable surface.
Caution! The cutting blade is very hot. It can cause severe burns when in contact
with the skin. Avoid contact with random objects, as high temperatures can dam-
age them and cause fi re.
Caution! It is forbidden to use any power supply other than the one included in the
set. In case of loss of or damage to the power supply, contact the manufacturer
for a new one.
Tool operation
The tool can be used only to cut foamed polystyrene which is clean, without any
residues of glue, paint, varnish or other dirt. Dirt can prevent cutting or catch fi re
when in contact with the hot knife.
Start cutting after the heating up phase is completed. The heating time depends
on the adapter used, while the wire heats up faster than the rod blades.
Cut with a smooth motion and adjust the cutting speed to suit a thickness of the
material. Do not pause the cutting when the blade is in the material.
It is recommended to carry out cutting tests on waste material.
When cutting through the material, make sure that the hot knife does not damage
the surface. Put the polystyrene material on the edge of your worktable to make
the cut on the part of the material protruding beyond that edge.
After fi nishing the work and when the tool is not in use, place it on the stand.
Cooling and replacing the cutting blade
If you need to replace the cutting blade during operation, put the tool on the
stand, switch it OFF, and then allow some time until the cutting unit has cooled
down completely. Do not accelerate the cooling by immersing the cutting blade in
water or other liquid for instance.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
After use, put the tool on the stand, disconnect it from the power supply by un-
plugging the power supply plug and allow it to cool down completely. Clean the
housing of the unit with a slightly damp cloth, then dry or leave to dry. Never
immerse the tool housing in water or other liquids. Do not use alcohol, solvents,
corrosive or abrasive agents for cleaning. Clean the cutting blade with a copper
or brass brush. If you notice damage to the shaft, contact the manufacturer to
obtain spare parts. Using the tool with a damaged cutting blade (e.g. bent, burnt)
is not allowed.
Store the product in dry, shaded and well aired places. Ensure that the storage
room protects the device from unauthorised access, especially by children. It is
recommended to store the product in the packaging it was delivered in.
