Note: The Creative Versa-Tool™ Tool works best when used with the Walnut Hollow® Tempered Glass Mat. It will ensure that your work area will not be damaged from heat. Use masking tape to secure the Tool holder to the work surface. Attach and tighten with pliers the Point you are going to use on the Creative Versa-Tool™. Plug Tool in and turn switch "on". It usually takes 3-4 minutes for the Tool to heat. Remember when chaging Points, they are hot and need pliers to remove or attach to the Creative Versa-Tool™. After removing the hot Points, place them in the molded tray of the Tempered Glass Mat to cool.
