Do not operate the product in unfavourable ambient conditions.
Unfavourable ambient conditions are:
Moisture or too high air humidity,
Dust and flammable gases, fumes or solvents,
Strong vibrations.
Always unplug the unit when not used.
When working in rooms, the vapours that arise on the cutting blade during cutting must be removed
directly using an extractor fan. Or only work in well-ventilated rooms.
PVC and PVC-coated materials may not be processed due to the harmful vapours arising during
cutting.
Pay attention to the risk of burns when using the machine!
The cutting blades can reach temperatures of approx. 500° Celsius. Do not touch the cutting blades
once you have switched the machine on. Do not lean the device against objects before the cutting
blade has cooled down completely.
Danger! Danger to life due to electric shock!
A fatal electrical shock can result if water gets into the housing.
Keep the machine away from water.
If water does get in, pull the plug out immediately and do not continue to use the machine.

The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is inadmissible because of safety and approval reasons
(CE).
Make sure that the power cord does not come into contact with heat, oil or sharp edges during operation of the
machine. Damaged power cords can cause fires, short circuiting and electric shocks.
The connection cable is to be replaced only by the manufacturer or his servicing agent who have a special tool
available.
Machines powered by mains voltage do not belong in the hands of children.
Please exercise special caution when children are present.
The structure of the Cutter complies with the safety class II. Make sure that the insulation of the housing is neither
damaged nor destroyed.
Operation
1. Loosen clamping screws at the head of the unit.
2. Select a blade based on the board thickness, so all the blade heat is used in the board.
3. Insert blade into clamp openings.
4. The 4 clamping screws should be tested for tightness with the screwdriver (included). Always check for good
contact.
5. Check voltage requirements on the model identification label before plugging unit into power socket.
6. The unit is activated by depressing the trigger. After a heating time of 10 seconds, the operating temperature is
reached.
7. You can adjust the power of the device with the power-adjustable knob.
Counterclockwise (=left turn) = less power
Clockwise (=right turn) = more power
Full power: LED permanently “red”. Reduction in power: LED darker. Overload: LED off.
Note: An excessive power setting will result in overheating of the blade.
Please adjust just as much power as needed, so you can cut easily. The blade must not glow.
This should be tested with a rest of a styrofoam board.
8. Guide the blade steadily through the board without any particular pressure. DO NOT FORCE.
The cutting speed depends on the thickness of the board.
9. The blade can be cleaned while still warm with a brass brush.
Please note
For the use of blades with different diameters of the connector pins (C-100, CN-14, CN-20, CN-26, CR-20, CS-20), the
device is equipped with a universal clamp connector. One of the clamps has two different slot diameters. The clamping
piece can be easily unscrewed and rotated for a perfect clamping of the different cutting blades.
