ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

HOW TO CARE AND CLEAN TIP
Keeping your foam cutting tool clean is mandatory if you want to reach a good result and make the process of cutting easier. Here are the most effective ways to clean the tip:
- You can clean the tips with acetone, but do it when the tip is cold.
- Sandpaper – it can be used to remove remains of melted foam from the hot-knife. This method is pretty easy and can be done frequently. We recommend using 320 grit paper to avoid damaging the tip.
- Steel wool – an easy way to clean the tip of your kit without any difficulties.
- Knife Method – another simple method to clean the tips and remove the remains of the foam buildup is using a knife.
- Jeweler’s Rouge – this is not as quick and easy as the other methods, but it’s safer and really effective for tip.
- Polishing Burr – it is one of the best ways to reach a deep clean result. But in this case, you need to be extremely careful in order not to over polish the tip as this may cause thinning over time.
