This tool works great to fuse the stray ends of FireLine and make your work much more professional.

Trims, burns, or melts thread with one touch.... No more frayed thread ends!
Extra-fine tip allows for precision application
Ideal for finishing beadweaving & stringing projects
Replaceable tip (additional tips sold separately)
Battery-operated (one AA, included)
Instructions to install the battery: Align two small tabs with matching slots inside the handle. Push in, and twist 1/4 turn to the right.
Instructions to use ThreadZap: Simply press and hold the black button located on the side to activate the heating element at the tip. You will usually see a slight wisp of smoke to indicate that the tip is hot enough to use. Continuing to hold the button, briefly touch the tip to the place on the thread where you want to cut, melt or burn it. Once you achieve the desired result, allow a few seconds for the thread to cool before you touch any beads in that area. Replace the cap over the heating element.
CAUTION: Tip gets EXTREMELY HOT when button is depressed. Keep away from children , flammable materials and skin. Keep cap on when not in use. For professional use only. Always wear safety glasses.
