Safety Instructions

To ensure safe operation and prevent personal injury or property damage, please observe the following safety precautions:

• Flammable Materials: Keep the tool away from flammable liquids, gases, and materials.
• Children and Pets: Keep out of reach of children and pets. Adult supervision is required if used by minors.
• Storage: Allow the tool to cool completely before storing. Store in a safe, dry place.
• Damaged Wire: Do not operate if the heating wire is bent, broken, or damaged.

3. Connect Power Supply: Obtain a compatible external power supply (15V2A or 12V1.5A). Insert the power supply's output plug into the designated port at the base of the heating pen handle. Ensure a secure connection.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe foam cutting:

1. Power On: Plug the external power supply into a wall outlet. The heating wire will begin to heat up immediately. Allow a few moments for the wire to reach optimal cutting temperature.
2. Prepare Material: Place the foam or sponge material on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Mark your desired cutting lines if necessary.
3. Grip the Tool: Hold the heating pen firmly by its handle. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip.
4. Begin Cutting: Gently press the hot wire into the foam along your desired path. Apply light, consistent pressure. The hot wire will melt through the foam, creating a clean cut. Avoid forcing the wire, as this can bend or break it.
5. Maintain Speed: Move the tool at a steady pace. Too fast, and the cut may be uneven; too slow, and excessive melting may occur.
6. Complex Shapes: For intricate designs or curves, guide the wire carefully, allowing it to melt through the material.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After use, disconnect the power supply and allow the tool to cool completely. Gently wipe the heating wire and tip with a dry cloth to remove any foam residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or liquids.
• Storage: Store the heating pen in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the wire is not bent or stressed during storage.
• Wire Inspection: Periodically inspect the heating wire for wear or damage. If the wire appears damaged or performs poorly, discontinue use.
