Care and use of your Simple Soothings Soap Cutter

Adjust thickness of your cut: Loosen the nut on the stop block, slide your soap log up to the stop block and adjust to the desired thickness, tighten nut.
Tip: If you frequently make cuts of different thicknesses you can use a pen to make a mark on the base so you can quickly change to different cut sizes.

Adjusting wire tension: Turn the tuner knob to add tension to the cutting wire. Tighten until the wire starts to make a high-pitched note when strung with a fingernail. If you make a cut and have problems getting the wire all the way though the bottom of the soap you need to add a little more tension.
Tip: Avoid over tightening the wire to prevent breaking the wire. You may also want to loosen the wire a little bit if you are not going to be using the cutter for a while to help extend the life of the wire.

Cutting your soap: Slide soap to the stop, take your cutter angling it slightly towards the cutter so as you cut though the soap the wire stays in contact with the guides ensuring a straight cut. Once you make the cut remove the bar of soap, slide the log to stop and repeat.
Tip: If you want to use the cutter to trim an edge or end of a bar, stand it up vertically against the side and make the cut. This produces a cleaner cut than does laying the bar flat on the bottom of the base.

Cleaning your cutter and base: The cutter may have soap on the wire from use. This is easily wiped off with a paper towel. If you do need to wash it avoid getting water on the tuner. The base can be cleaned with a damp cloth but dry immediately. Avoid soaking in water.

Replacing the cutter wire: The wire on the cutter will occasionally break and need to be replaced. The wire used is a 22-gauge guitar string available at any music store for approximately $1.00. We can also sell you replacement wires for $1.00 each plus .50 shipping. You want to be sure to get a plain wire not a wound wire. A wound wire will leave a texture in your soap when cutting. To replace the wire you will need a small pair of wire cutters and small pair of pliers or needle nose pliers. One end of the guitar string has a brass loop tied to it, slide the small washer onto the wire first. Run the wire through the hole and then wrap the wire counter-clockwise once pulling tight as you go. Take the end of the wire and slide it through the hole in the tuner arm and pull tight with a pair of pliers. Tighten the wire and then trim the excess using a wire cutter.
Tip: After installing the wire you will have a piece left over that is long enough to string your cutter again. To use this piece of wire you need to tie a washer onto the end. The spare wire you received with this cutter was done using this method. This can sometimes be a little difficult to do so you can determine for yourself if it is worth your time.
