1. Fig 3 and select the required angle by sliding the spool carrier Tighten the screw 1 again and tension the wire as usual Note Adjusting the spool carrier will lengthen the heated part of the wire and thus increase the electrical resistance The temperature must be adjusted accordingly Working with the stop Select the required miter on the angle stop and secure the adjust ment with the screw 1 Fig 4 Move the exten sion 2 so that you can pass the cutting wire without difficulty Press the workpiece against the stop and guide the stop along the slot 3 Note The stop can be fixed for parallel cutting Turn the screw 1 Fig 5 to clamp the stop in the slot Guide the workpiece past the cutting wire along the stop Important hints When cutting double miter e g roof don t remove the cut off part after the first cutting Use it as an underlay for the second cut The wire has a higher temperature at the exit side of the workpiece which may cause sur face melting To prevent this the wire can be cooled by blowing on it Small sections of long profiles can best be cut by laying a waste piece 1 Fig 6 between the stop and the work piece and then cutting against the stop The cutting wire then cuts into the waste piece and the edges remain clean You can make a simple device yourself for cutting circular segments Fix a drawing pin at the center of the required circle on the working table with a pie2. ce of tape Fix the workpiece onto the pin and turn the workpiece around the pin Fig 7 The cutting wire normally breaks above the guide bushing Insert the wire a few inches further in the lower wire guide and fasten it again at regular intervals to prevent the wire from breaking Cleaning the device Clean the wire and the bushing regularly to prevent unnecessary evaporation of polystyrene residue Caution First switch off the device Notes
3. ghtly downwards with your left hand thread the wire through the guide slot 10 and fasten the wire spool 6 so that the wire is slightly tensioned 7 Release the arm The wire is tensioned by the spring force of the arm 8 Check that the wire is a right angle with work surface Adjust if necessary by sliding the spool carrier 8 or by bending the clamp 9 Connect the mains plug Your device is now ready for use Cutting 10 Switch on the device with the switch 1 Fig 1 Note lt is normal that the wire extends somewhat after being heated for the first time Stretch the wire slightly by the first heating and tension it again The wire will now retain its length 11 Adjust the temperature with the regulator 2 The table on the front of the device serves as a guide The best way to find the ideal temperature is to try different temperatures yourself For simple straightforward cuts you use a high temperature for complicated shapes a lower temperature Please note that too high temperatures will cause untidy edges 12 Now move the workpiece through the wire with a light pressure and even speed Be aware that too high pressure in the direction of the cut when cutting complicated shapes will tend to bend the wire Miter cutting Miter cutting can be done in two ways with the THERMOCUT by adjusting the spool carrier on the overarm or with the adjustable angle gauge Adjusting the spool carrier loosen the screws 1 and 2
