With a pull of the trigger, the blade heats up to 752 degrees F in 4 to 6 seconds and, at that temperature, a lot of material can be cut in a short period of time. The cutting blade is only heated when the trigger is pulled so you can avoid producing an open flame or drips from overheating the material. The trigger should not be continuously held on while cutting; it can be manipulated on and off as needed to keep the blade heated to the appropriate temperature, as a red-hot blade is too hot. The instructions suggest 15 seconds on, then 3 seconds off.
