2.4 Removing Side Mouldings & Emblems
Quickly and safely remove adhesive fitted decorative mouldings,
emblems, badges and rear spoilers without causing damage to
moulding, spoiler or painted surface. Use blade similar to auto glass
removal but always with the flat side of the blade operating against
the lubricated painted panel surface. BTB recommends using non-
serrated WK18Z and WK19Z Spade Blades where possible on flat
panels. Blades can be used in the Power Tool or WK7 manual handle.
NOTE: Do not use serrated blades for badge/moulding removal.
NOTE
: Using cutting lubrication with cutting blades is very
important to avoid damage to painted surfaces. Refer to Section
2.1.5 Cutting Lubricant Is Important (Page 6).

To remove mouldings from flat panels, operate the flat side of the
blade against the panel surface.
To remove mouldings from recessed panels start from one end
using a WK1 long straight blade and work along the panel surface,
progressively separating the moulding from the panel.
2.5 Using the Tool as a Power Hacksaw
To convert the tool into a power hacksaw:
1. Turn off and disconnect the tool from the battery to avoid
accidental injury.
2. Remove the
cone point blade chuck screw
in tool chuck.
3. Insert the power hacksaw blade and blade guide.
4. Fit the
flat nose retaining screw
and tighten.
5. Reconnect the tool to the battery and operate as normal.
