A 0.2mm wire is heated using a safe 10V source, and this heated wire cuts through the polystyrene, melting it and providing a clean cut. By varying the amount of voltage on the wire (and thus current), the wire temperature can be varied between 100℃ - 200℃ (212℉ - 392℉).

''Assembling the THERMOCUT''
# Fit the overarm 1 (Fig. 2) underneath the device by using the enclosed knurled screw.
# Fasten the cable 2 to the overarm with the screw 3.
# Tighten the screw well to ensure good electrical contact (10.5 volt low voltage).
# Slide the spool carrier 8 (Fig. 1) on to the arm and fasten it with the screw 9.
