Fitting and use of the AZ HOT KNIFE

3 To fit the Hot Knife, simply insert it into the holder ensuring the Hot Knife is seated fully into its recess.

Tighten knob A and check Hot Knife is fully gripped in position, the blade should cut about 2-3mm

(1/16” to 1/8”) away fr

om the edge of the slideway

4 Depress the Hot Knife and the trigger should switch the heat on prior to it coming into contact with

the fabric.

The trigger can be adjusted to alter the position the heat is switched on by turning knob

5 Once the blade has reached the correct temperature press down to bring the blade in contact with the

fabric and slide the cutting head to the right to seal and cut it.

A heatproof protective surface F must be placed on the base of the machine under the fabric.

A Heat Resistant Silicon strip is included that can be applied to the surface of a strip of a

heat resistant material to provide a cutting surface. MDF, Hardboard or Aluminium

Composite (such as Dibond) all work well. For long term consistent use we recommend

cutting directly onto 6mm (1/4") toughened/tempered glass.
