Used foam cutter for 40+ min, now it won't cut and wire is red & soft — looks like it's melting. What do I do?

Our cutter’s operating temperature range must be under 150℃. Preheat 5-10 secs for best temp. Let it rest after 30 mins of use. Otherwise, the wire may turn red and soft, looking like it's melting and won't work.

Foam cutter glows red right after setup — is this a design defect?

To prevent overheating or melting, please install the foam cutter exactly as shown in our instructions.

Works fine on regular foam, but won't cut rigid plastic at all — is the cutter defective or just not made for that?

Our cutter kit can only be used to cut low-density foam; it is not suitable for batch cutting or very high-density material.
