Safety Instructions

Electrical Safety Precautions

• The electrical plug of the device must match the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with grounded electrical tools. Unmodified plugs and appropriate sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry, pull, or unplug an electrical tool. Keep the cord away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not expose the electrical tools to rain or wet conditions.
• Water entering the tool increases the risk of electric shock.
• If the electrical tool operates in a protected power supply, use a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

HOW TO CARE AND CLEAN TIPS

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 tips:

• Clean the blade by just gently wiping it against a cloth or paper towel while the foam is in a melted state.
• You can clean the blades with acetone, but do it when the blades are cold.
• Steel wool – an easy way to clean the knife of your kit without any difficulties.
• Sandpaper – it can be used to remove the remains of melted foam from the blades. This method is pretty easy and can be done frequently. We recommend using 320 grit paper to avoid damaging the tips.
• Knife Method – another simple method to clean the tips and remove carbon buildup is using a knife.
• Jeweler’s Rouge – this is not as quick and easy as the other methods, but it’s safer and effective.
• 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 overpolish the knife as this may cause thinning over time.
