ROTATE BOTTLE

ROTATE JUG

For cuts on the body of the bottle where the sides are straight;

the cutting wheel must be perpendicular (90° angle) to the side

of the bottle. The shaft holding the glass cutter (part E) should

be lined up vertically to the bottle. This angle is regulated by the

adjustment of the 7" bar (part B).

To make this adjustment, place the bottle cutter into the bottle

so the glass cutter handle is pointed directly at you, as seen in

drawing. place your hands on the cutter as shown in drawing.

While in this position, the glass cutter arm must be exactly at a

90° angle to the bottle. You may be sure it is vertical if it lines up

with the seam of the bottle.

Swing the 7" bar (part B) against bottle and tighten the wing nut

to secure in place. This is very important - as this adjustment will

cause the cutter to travel correctly around the bottle.

In glass cutting, the lighter the score, the better the separation.

The score, if done correctly, will produce a continuous, barely

audible, scratching sound. Whether left handed or right, place

your hands as shown in the images to the left.

If you grasp the cutter as a pair of pliers, you will have a

tendency to squeeze it during the cutting process, forcing the

cutter out of alignment. The right hand should not move. press

down with right hand toward the bottle. Rotate the bottle with

left hand counter-clockwise, pressing the left hand toward the

right hand.

press hands together with the least amount of pressure that

produces a continuous, barely audible, scratching sound. You

cannot successfully cut a bottle amid noise, as you will not hear

the score. A deep frothy cut cannot be separated.

Sweep the bottle around in a smooth continual manner (try not

to start and stop). A loud gravelly sound will indicate you have

completely circled the bottle. STop!

during all cutting.

If you discover a skip in your score, reposition cutter and

re-score that area only. This instrument is designed to cut nearly

any round glass bottle or wide-mouth jar from 6 ounces to 5

gallons at nearly any place up or down the main section of

the container.
