How does Presto hot wire bottle cutter work?
- Firstly, start the machine and place the specimen on it.
- Adjust the cutting wire with the help of length adjusting knobs.
- After the wires are in their right place, adjust the heating display with the help of the heating display knob.
- After adjusting the heating display, turn the heating ON to the first level by turning the Heating on the rotary switch to level 1.
- In that case, turn the heating rotary switch to level two. This will increase the heating in the wires and will easily cut the bottle.
- If the bottle is not cut even on the level three heating, increase the value in the heating display by adjusting the heating display adjusting knob.
- Now take the worn-out wire from the machine and then place a new wire on the machine. First place one end of the wire in the wire holder on the backside.
- After that, insert the other end of the wire into the wire holder on the front side and tighten the wire by pushing the compression nut and rotating it in a clockwise direction.
