Press down on the foot pedal to heat the cutting wire for use – keeping your foot down to prevent any material sticking to the hot wire

The extraction system and wearing a suitable filtered mask will prevent dangerous fume inhalation

For longer cuts, it can be useful to break down the cut into sections as this can prevent the wire getting stuck

The angle of the hot wire can be changed by removing the bottom locking screw – found on the righthand side of the machine – and moving it to one of 4 pre-set positions

Remember to put the locking screw back in to secure it in place for cutting
