* When cutting double miter (e.g. roof), don’t remove the cut off part after the first cutting. Use it as an underlay for the second cut.
* The wire has a higher temperature at the exit side of the workpiece, which may cause surface melting. To prevent this, the wire can be cooled by blowing on it.
* Small sections of long profiles can best be cut by laying a waste piece 1 (Fig. 6) between the stop and the work piece and then cutting against the stop. The cutting wire then cuts into the waste piece and the edges remain clean.
* You can make a simple device yourself for cutting circular segments. Fix a drawing-pin at the center of the required circle on the working table with a piece of tape. Fix the workpiece onto the pin and turn the workpiece around the pin (Fig. 7).
* The cutting wire normally breaks above the guide bushing. Insert the wire a few inches further in the lower wire guide and fasten it again at regular intervals to prevent the wire from breaking.
