How to Use Hot Knife Foam Cutter?

The hot knife cutter's blade is a metal strip that melts the woven sleeve when heated to a high enough temperature. This not only reduces the length required when the woven sleeve is melted, but also fuses the cut to prevent loss due to loose yarn during installation and use.

• Use for:

Hot knife foam cutter's cutting lint rope within 2cm diameter, cutting flat woven tape with flat fracture and no loose yarn; with cutting platen you can cut synthetic chemical fiber fabric without mat and weld the cut; cutting sewing cotton strips of fabric toys or ton bags with fused fracture.

Especially suitable for processing canvas, awning cloth and filter cloth. (Thickness 0.3mm or more chemical fiber fabric). Cut blind various fabrics fabric (poncho, brocade flag. Silk broad. Chemical fiber cloth, velvet cloth. Advertising cloth, nylon cloth, wallpaper. Mural, plastic cloth).

3. Keep the temperature and speed in harmony while cutting. If there is too much smoke, it may be because the cutting speed is too slow or the blade temperature is too high. This may cause irregular and uneven cutting trajectory, in this case, you can intermittently release the switch during the cutting process to control the blade temperature. Release the switch when 3-5CM from the end of the cut. When cutting, the exposed part of the blade should not exceed 1cm, if the exposed part is too long, the blade may be bent due to overheating.
