The KD-5 Hot Knife is a professional-grade hot cutting tool for foamed plastics. The KD-5 Hot Knife heats up in seconds and gives the operator temperature control. Never before has working with foamed plastics been this easy, inexpensive and free of mess.

Put your temperature control knob at midrange setting, place the blade against the edge of the foam and depress trigger. Optimum cutting should be virtually smoke free.

NOTE: For the best results, practice on scrap pieces of foam.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), Polyethylene, Cross-Linked Polyethylene, Polypropylenes, and many other foamed plastics and materials can be easily cut with KD-5 Hot Knife. Check with the foam manufacturer for safe and proper cutting procedures

When cutting foam it is best to keep the temperature and speed consistent. If smoke develops during the cut, you are cutting too slow or the blade is to hot which could result in an oversized, uneven cut. This can be remedied by lowering the temperature and intermittently releasing the trigger during your cut. As the cutting resistance increases, depress the trigger again. The KD-5 Hot Knife will reach the set temperature within seconds. You can accomplish your cut with minimal smoke using this process. Cutting in this manner will also prolong the life of the knife.

Releasing the trigger approximately one or tow inches prior to the completion of the cut will help keep the blade clean and free from buildup

The selected cutting blade should not be longer than 3/4” past the thickness of your foam board. The foam cools the blade as it cuts. The exposed portion can overheat and cause your blade to warp.

Constant use of the KD-5 Hot Knife may result in polystyrene material build up on blades and the brass holders. This excess polystyrene interferes with the proper electrical and impairs the performance of the blades. The brass blade holders and blades can be thoroughly cleaned with a wire brush.
