OPERATION
CUTTING DEPTH
For the greatest cutting depth, do not attach the depth bracket. To limit cutting depth, follow the directions below.
- Remove the acorn nuts (E) from the front of the handle.
- Place the depth bracket (H) over the blade (A) and the protruding bolts.
- Secure the depth bracket (H) with the two acorn nuts (E).
- Loosen the two scale screws (G).
- Adjust the depth scale to the desired cutting depth and tighten the two scale screws (G).
GENERAL OPERATION
- Plug the power cord into the nearest 120-volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
- Turn the temperature knob (C) to the desired temperature.
- Press and hold the trigger (D) to heat the blade (A). The blade (A) will reach the operating temperature in about one minute and will remain at the temperature selected. Also, the power LED (B) will illuminate during operation.
- When the blade (A) has reached the pre-set temperature, you may use the sharp edge of the blade (A) for line cutting or use the side of the blade (A) for wide groove cutting.
- When the trigger (D) is released, power to the blade (A) is cut off and the blade (A) will cool down gradually.
- To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Allow to cool completely on a non-flammable surface out of children’s reach after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
MAINTENANCE
Before making any adjustments or changing accessories, turn off the tool, disconnect it from its power source, and allow the tip to cool.
- Keep the vent passage clear from dirt. Clean off the accumulated dust and oil dirt periodically.
- During normal operation, if anything happens, the power supply should be cut off at once and the tool should be checked and repaired.
- Clean the blade after each use.
- Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears to be damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it would operate properly and perform its intended functions. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, for broken parts or mounting fixtures, or for any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
- When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Replace damaged parts immediately.
- Keep the tool clean. Wipe the tool with a clean cloth and periodically blow out all areas with compressed air. If compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust from all areas. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the tool. These chemicals could seriously damage the plastic housing.
- Regularly inspect all mounting screws to ensure tightness. Should any screws become loose, tighten them immediately.
- If repairs are required, bring your tool to an authorized service center.
STORAGE
When not in use, store the tool in a clean, dry location away from the reach of children.
DISPOSAL
If your tool has become damaged beyond repair, do not throw it out. Bring it to the appropriate recycling facility.

Intertek 4002205 Power Fist Electric Hot Knife-FAQs
What is an electric hot knife?
An electric hot knife is a tool with a heated blade designed for cutting, shaping, and sealing synthetic materials.
How does a hot knife work?
A hot knife generates heat by passing an electric current through its blade, which heats up due to resistance, making it effective for cutting and sealing materials.
What can an electric knife be used for?
Electric knives are versatile tools, commonly used for slicing food with precision and less effort compared to traditional knives.
What voltage is required for a hot knife?
The Sailrite® Edge Hotknife, for example, operates on 110V. Always check the specific voltage requirements for your hot knife model.
Is it safe to use a hot knife?
Yes, but it’s essential to work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling potentially harmful fumes. Always follow safety precautions to ensure proper use.
What is a hot wire knife?
A hot wire knife is a specialized tool for cutting and contouring foam. It’s commonly used in design and prototyping for creating foam mockups.
Why are knives sometimes heated?
Heating a knife blade can sterilize it, making it useful for specific applications like cutting into materials or even flesh in emergency situations.
How many volts does a hot wire typically use?
A standard hot wire system may operate on 120V, though the voltage can vary depending on the system type and application.
What should you avoid when using a knife?
Avoid distractions while using a knife, don’t leave it near counter edges or in sinks, and always use it strictly for its intended purpose. Carry knives with the blade pointed downward for safety.
