Getting started
To power the device, only a power supply unit or a power bank with USB output and
corresponding load capacity (min.1 A) may be used. A USB interface on a computer
would be overloaded by the increased current consumption of the device. This can
cause damage to your computer.
• Place the required tool attachment into the holder for the tool attachment (1). The attachment
must be heard and felt to click into position.
• Turn the hinge (2) to set the desired working angle of the device. It can be turned by 90°.
• Connect the USB plug (5) to the power supply.
• Switch the device on with the On-Off switch (3) (put the switch into position „I“). When the
device is switched on, the operating indicator (4) lights up.
• Wait until the tool attachment has heated up. This takes up to two minutes, depending on
which attachment you are using.
• Carry out a few test cuts on scrap material, in order to gain a feel for the work with the device.
• Cut out larger pieces first and only then work on the finer parts. This allows you to avoid rips
in the material and ensures better handling of the work.
• Do not cut too quickly. Allow the heat to do the work. This will produce cleaner cuts and will
cause less mechanical stress to the Styropor
®
Cutter.
• Place the device in the storage stand included in the delivery whenever you pause your
work. To do this, bend the inner part of the storage stand upwards and place the stand on a
heat-insensitive surface.
• When you have finished your work, switch off the Styropor
®
Cutter using the On/Off switch
(3) (put the switch in the “0” position) and disconnect the device from the power supply (pull
out the USB plug (5)).
• Allow the Styropor
®
Cutter to cool down sufficiently in the storage stand, keeping it out of the
reach of children or animals.
Replacing the cutting wire in the cutting wire attachment
Always disconnect the device from the power supply before replacing the cutting
wire and allow the cutting wire to cool down completely.
• Bend the cutting wire attachment lightly together.
• Remove the relieved wire from its holders.
• To fix the cutting wire in position, bend the cutting wire attachment lightly together and place
the cutting wire into its holders.
Maintenance and cleaning
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical solutions
since these could damage the housing or even impair operation.
• Before cleaning, the product must be disconnected from the power supply. Allow sufficient
time for the heated elements to cool down.
• You can use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Dust can be easily removed with a soft,
clean brush.
• Clean the used tool attachment while working by wiping it with a cloth or thick paper while
existing residues are still in melted form. After work, clean away fully cooled residues with an
acetone-soaked cloth.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable materials and do not belong in the household
waste. Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statu-
tory regulations.
