The sheath is not adjustable! The four top screws are secured in place
with Loctite
®
to prevent loosening from vibration, and are not meant
to be removed unless you are replacing the sheath. Please be aware
that some force may be required to remove these screws. If difficulty is
encountered, to prevent stripping of the screws we recommend warming
the sheath retainer with a heat gun or other warming device.
1. Loosen the screws with a 1/8” hex wrench (A). 2. Make note of the
built-in sheath stops located at the back of the sheath holder (B).
This is
very important!
3. Remove the old sheath (C). 4. Insert the new sheath
until it touches the stops, but
do not insert the sheath past the sheath
stops
(D,E). 5. Place a drop of red Loctite
®
in each screw hole to secure the
screws and keep them from loosening from vibration (F). 6. Reassemble
the sheath holder; be sure to install all four screws so the gap is the same
width on both sides of the sheath retainer (G).
CAUTION! Forcing sheath
past the stops or overtightening the top screws will damage your tool.
Tools presented for repair with stops destroyed or removed will not be
repaired under warranty.

Using a cutting lubricant improves cutting action and reduces drag on the balde.
Use Equalizer® Cutting Lubricant (ECL784).

Start cutting from the inside
top center of the glass and cut
toward the A-pillars. Keep the
blade properly orientated and
flat against the glass. Reverse
and cut from the top center
of the glass toward the other
A-pillar. Relax and let the tool
do the work.
Next, from the inside (or
outside on some vehicle
models), cut the sides
from top to bottom.
After both sides are cut,
insert two PUMPER
™
s
(Equalizer
®
LB779) to
increase the cutting angle,
thereby improving cutting ease. For an even greater cutting angle, slightly
deflate the PUMPER
™
s then fold in half & re-insert.

After the sides are loose, cut the bottom of the glass loose, utilizing one or a
combination of two cutting methods.
Figure 1.
The plunge cut. Cut straight down, move over three inches and repeat
this process until finished cutting.
Figure 2.
The angle cut. Turn the tool at roughly a 45-degree angle and cut
along the bottom until finished.
