Meridian Zero Rope Seal Toolbox Hot Knife Instructions

Before use, ensure that the hot knife is filled correctly = horizontally rather than vertically. Allow the gas to settle for a few minutes. Take care to make sure the filling valve on the base isn’t open.

Before using the knife, it is crucial to allow the blade to heat up fully before attempting to cut or seal any rope. A cold blade will put unnecessary pressure on the nib and cause irreparable damage.

The metal gauze filter may get clogged with carbon after a period of use. Disassemble and clean with an old toothbrush or replace the tip.
