# Now move the workpiece through the wire with a light pressure and even speed. Be aware that too high pressure in the direction of the cut when cutting complicated shapes will tend to bend the wire.

Note:
It is normal that the wire extends somewhat after being heated for the first time. Stretch the wire slightly by the first heating and tension it again. The wire will now retain its length.

Please note that too high temperatures will cause untidy edges.

''Miter cutting''
Miter cutting can be done in two ways with the THERMOCUT: by adjusting the spool carrier on the overarm or with the adjustable angle gauge.
# To adjust the spool carrier, loosen the screws 1 and 2 (Fig. 3) and select the required angle by sliding the spool carrier. Tighten the screw 1 again and tension the wire as usual.
Note:
Adjusting the spool carrier will lengthen the heated part of the wire and thus increase the electrical resistance. The temperature must be adjusted accordingly.
Working with the stop:
# Select the required miter on the angle stop and secure the adjustment with the screw 1 (Fig. 4).
# Move the extension 2 so that you can pass the cutting wire without difficulty.
# Press the workpiece against the stop and guide the stop along the slot 3.
Note:
The stop can be fixed for parallel cutting. Turn the screw 1 (Fig.5) to clamp the stop in the slot. Guide the workpiece past the cutting wire along the stop.
