CAUTION: Some foam products such as polyurethane foam may emit toxic fumes when heated.

Use in ventilated area. Use transformer included with this package. Do not leave Hot Wire Foam

Cutter on for an extended period of time. Transformer may overheat. Do not touch Wire while

Cutter is on. Wire may cause burns. Be careful when using Hot Wire Foam Cutter near flammable

material or in areas where explosive gases may be present. Do not apply to a single contact

point for an extended period-heat may be conducted to combustible materials that are not in sight.

Allow Wire to cool before storing Hot Wire Foam Cutter. Unplug Hot Wire Foam Cutter after use.

MISE EN GARDE: Certains produits de mousse, comme la mousse de polyuréthane, peuvent émettre des

vapeurs toxiques lorsqu'il est chauffé. Utiliser en zone ventilée. Utiliser un transformateur

inclus avec ce paquet. Ne laissez pas fil chaud coupe de mousse sur pendant une période prolongée

de temps. Transformateur peut surchauffer. Ne touchez pas fil tandis que coupeur est allumé. Fil

peut causer des brûlures. Soyez prudent lorsque vous utilisez fil chaud coupe de mousse près de

matériaux inflammables ou dans des zones où les gaz explosifs peuvent être présents. Ne

s'appliquent pas à un seul point de contact pendant une période prolongée - chaleur peut-être être

effectuée à des matières combustibles qui ne sont pas en vue. Permettre fil refroidir avant

d'entreposer le fil chaud coupe de mousse. Débrancher fil chaud coupe de mousse après utilisation.

PRECAUCIÓN: Algunos productos de espuma, como espuma de poliuretano, pueden emitir vapores tóxicos

cuando se calientan. Usar en área ventilada. Utilizar el transformador incluido en este paquete. No

deje encendido el cortador de alambre caliente durante un período prolongado de tiempo. El

transformador puede recalentarse. No toque el alambre mientras el cortador esté encendido. El

alambre podría causar quemaduras. Tenga cuidado cuando use el cortador cerca de materiales

inflamables o en áreas donde pueden estar presentes gases explosivos. No lo aplique en un solo

punto de contacto durante un período prolongado -el calor puede conducirse hasta materiales

combustibles que no están a la vista. Deje que el cortador se enfríe antes de guardarlo.

Desenchufe el cortador de alambre caliente después de su uso.

ACHTUNG: Einige Styropor-Produkte, wie Polyurethanschaum, können beim Erhitzen giftige Dämpfe

absondern. In belüfteten Räumen verwenden. Verwenden Sie den in diesem Paket enthaltenen

Transformator. Lassen Sie den Heißdraht-Schneider nicht lange eingeschaltet. Transformator kann

überhitzen. Berühren Sie den Draht nicht, während der Schneider eingeschaltet ist. Der Draht kann

Verbrennungen verursachen. Seien Sie vorsichtig bei der Verwendung vom Heißdraht-Scheider in der

Nähe von leicht entzündbarem Material oder in Bereichen, in denen explosive Gase anwesend sein

können. Nicht lange an der gleichen Stelle verwenden - die Hitze kann zu brennbaren Materialien,

die nicht in Sichtweite sind, weitergeleitet werden. Lassen Sie den Heißdraht-Schneider abkühlen,

bevor Sie ihn aufbewahren. Nach Gebrauch den Stecker des Heißdraht-Schneiders herausziehen.

• What is the measurement of the wire between the prongs of the Hot Wire Foam Cutter, and at what depth does it cut?

  The opening width, or length of the wire from prong to prong is 4 1/2" (11.4 cm) wide. The depth from the prong down to the handle, is 6" (15.2 cm). When using the optional straight rod, the tool cuts a path 3 1/2" w x 6" d (8.89 cm x 15.2 cm). Use this option to cut in tight places and for faster cuts.

  No. The Hot Wire Foam Cutter is designed to use the Replacement Wire. The special nichrome wire retains an even temperature, which is necessary for consistent cutting of our foam products.

• I've just purchased a hot wire foam cutter, but it's not working. Any suggestions as to what I might do to be sure it's assembled correctly?

  If the bows and wire are not installed properly, the cutter will not heat. We suggest reinstalling the bows and wire according to the following instructions.

   

  Install Bows - Insert one of the bows into one of the guide holes on the handle. Press the bow down until the spring engages. The bend in the bow and the top of the guide should be level. Hold the bow in place and tighten the thumb screw. Repeat with other bow. When both bows are installed they resemble an American football goalpost. Make sure thumbscrews are not overly tightened.

   

  Install Wire - Start with a 6-inch piece of wire. Install wire with or without the collars. When installed, wire must be taut between bows.

   

  Without Collars - Wrap ends of wire several times around grooves in bows. Then, wrap the wire back around itself to secure.

   

  Collars - Thread one end of the wire through the small, center hole in a bow collar and extend it out the top hole, approximately 1-inch. Twist the wire tightly several times around long wire section and secure close to edge of collar. Thread the other end of the wire through center hole in opposite collar and secure in same manner. There should only be a single piece of wire between the bows.
  Make sure the wire is taut between the bows. To help get the wire tight, pull bows in slightly while securing the wire. To tighten loose wire, twist a collar slightly.

   

  Using the Cutter - Plug the unit in. Make sure the transformer is secure in the handle and it is plugged into a working outlet.

   

  IMPORTANT - The yellow button must be pushed firmly forward to heat the wire while cutting. The wire heats only when the yellow button is fully engaged. As a safety feature, the wire cools as soon as button is released, even the slightest amount. Make sure to maintain steady pressure. To ensure the bows and wire maintain the proper connection, make slow and steady cuts. Release yellow button when cut is complete.
