BL DE INST LL TION:
NOTE: Always unplug the power cord of the Hot Knife CR
installing or removing the blades. Allow sufficient cooling time for
blades, blade holders and mounting crews before handling.
Straight Blade:
1. Loosen the screws on the blade holders with the wrench.
2. Slide the blade under the square pressure plates until snug.
3. Securely tighten screws to assure the proper electrical connection. Do
not over-tighten.
4. Once the blade is firmly in place, plug your Hot Knife CR
standard 120 volt power supply.
5. The temperature control knob has 16 click setting stops that corre-
spond to the graduated ridges on the surface. The smaller the ridge
the lower the power setting.
• The Hot Knife CR
™
blades have a sharpened razor edge, for the cleanest cut always cut in the direction on the
sharpened edge.
• Excessive power output and heat generation may cause the blade holders to overheat resulting in damage to the
unit. Use only the power output for proper cutting. The blade does not need to be red hot to move through
foamed plastics.
