5 HOW TO USE
5.1 Connection to the power supply
Switching on and off is achieved by inserting (and removing) the plug into/from a mains
socket 230 V / 50 Hz and subsequently rotating the temperature selection wheel. To remove
the plug, hold it by the body and never pull the cord (see Figure). The knife comes with a
Schuko plug, do not force the plug into a normal Italian mains socket.
The use of a lifesaving device on the power supply line is
recommended. For more detailed information, contact a trusted
electrician.
The power plug must be equipped with a grounding conductor.
Any extension cords must be of equal or greater length than the
power cord on the machine (
1.5 mm
2
).

5.2 Using the knife
Loosen the two screws of the adjustable guard and adjust the length so it is abutting with
the piece to be cut and entirely cover the part of the blade not used for cutting
polystyrene. After positioning the guard securely tighten the two screws to prevent
unwanted movement.
Burns
Do not use the knife with the extendible guard out of position. Always position the guard so it
is abutting with the piece to be cut. Serious injuries and burns could occur.
Connect the power plug
Rotate the temperature selection wheel from 0 to the desired temperature. The numbers
on the wheel correspond to the following temperatures:
Level 1: 70°C
Level 2: 150°C
Level 3: 260°C
Level 4: 390°C
Level 5: 450°C
Wait approximately one minute to allow the blade to reach the selected temperature.
Always keep the blade clean
Only hold the knife by the handle and put it down in
such a way that the blade is not touching any object
or surface.
After finishing work let the knife cool down. This
process can take several minutes.
Never immerse
it in water to avoid the risk of electric shock.
When not in use always rest the knife on its special
stand to allow it to cool without touching any
flammable surfaces.
