Operating Instructions
Using the Decorating Bag Cutter
The bag cutter is designed to create a perfectly sized opening in your decorating bag for use with a standard coupler.
- Insert Coupler: Place the narrow end of your decorating coupler (not included) into the decorating bag, pushing it down towards the tip of the bag.
- Position Cutter: Slide the bag cutter over the threaded portion of the coupler, ensuring the bag material is positioned between the cutter and the coupler.
- Cut Bag: Gently squeeze the sides of the bag cutter and twist it around the coupler. The cutter will precisely trim the bag, creating an opening that allows the coupler to fit snugly without excess bag material interfering with the tip.
- Attach Tip: Once cut, attach your desired decorating tip and screw on the coupler ring to secure it.
Using the Cleaning Brushes
The two brushes are specifically sized to clean various decorating tips and couplers effectively.
- Prepare for Cleaning: After use, remove any excess icing or food residue from your decorating tips and couplers.
- Select Brush: Use the smaller brush for standard-sized decorating tips and the larger brush for wider tips or the inside of couplers.
- Clean: Insert the appropriate brush into the tip or coupler opening. Use warm, soapy water and gently scrub the interior to remove all residue. The bristles are designed to reach into small crevices.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse the tips, couplers, and brushes thoroughly under clean water. Allow them to air dry completely before storage.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Wilton Bag Cutter and Brush Set.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bag cutter not cutting cleanly. | Incorrect positioning of bag/coupler; insufficient twisting motion. | Ensure the bag is taut and properly seated around the coupler. Apply firm but gentle pressure and twist the cutter fully around the coupler for a complete cut. |
| Brushes not effectively cleaning tips. | Dried icing/food residue; incorrect brush size used. | Soak tips in warm, soapy water before cleaning to soften dried residue. Ensure you are using the appropriate brush size for the tip being cleaned (small brush for small tips, large brush for larger tips). |
| Tools not staying on storage loop. | Improper attachment to the loop. | Ensure the tools are securely snapped onto the loop. The loop is designed to hold them firmly. |
