  2. Температураны жөндөө: Use the temperature control knob to set the desired heat level for the cutting wire. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase it until the wire cuts smoothly through your specific foam material. Different foam types and thicknesses require different temperatures. The adjustable temperature goes up to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
