INSTRUCTION
USING THE FOAMED POLYSTYRENE CUTTING DEVICE :

1.  Prepare the work space where the foamed polystyrene cutting device (slicer) will be used – table, platform, etc Fot. 01.

2.  Place the cutter on the table in such a way that the cut off fragments fall freely Fot. 02.

7.  Raise the work guide to such a height that the resistance wire is placed over the top surface of the foamed polystyrene slab. Also protect it against falling with the aid of the regulated support. Fot. 08, 09.

8.  Place the foamed polystyrene slab on the cutter (Photo 10) and set the cutting spot (Photo 11). Next, lower the anti-fall protection foot to the top surface of the slab (Photo 12).

9.  Insert the slab enough to get a suitable sized cut (to aid in this there is a rule mounted on the guiding angle bar) (Photo 13).

10.  Switch-on the cutter’s power at Pos.1 (Photo 14) (Attention: high temperature – do not touch the resistance wire). Lower the guide (Photo 15). The foamed polystyrene begins to fall under its own weight as the resistance wire begins to melt it (Photos 16-20). Cuts can be performed one after the other. In the case of a break longer than 3 minutes, one should switch-off the power.

11.  When finished working, one should perform the activities in steps 2-5 inversely.

12.  With the goal of maintaining the device in full working order, one should as often as possible lubricate the side guide with several drops of mineral oil. This will prevent sparking between the tracks and guide wheels. This will also assure good electricity conductivity on the moving guide parts (Photo 21).

13.  Though the device is safe in the sense of electricity, which results from a conformity certificate, one should protect the device from the effects of atmospheric conditions.
