USERS INSTRUCTION MANUAL (ENGLISH)
REMOVING DOUBLE SIDED TAPE AND/OR URETHANE FROM BODY
PROTECTION MOULDINGS AFTER REMOVAL FROM VEHICLE
NOTE: DO NOT USE LUBRICATION
Adjust the air tool power and speed as necessary. Secure the moulding on a
flat surface. With the radiussed (ground) side of the blade facing down on
the tape/urethane, tilt the blade to an appropriate angle and proceed to
trim away tape/urethane until a clean prepared surface remains.
WARNING: Always use blades in a direction away from the operator's hands.
AIR HACKSAW
To convert the tool into an air hacksaw, the following steps should be taken:
WARNING:
Before using the Automotive Glass Removal kit,
read SAFETY GUIDE DATA.

To reduce the risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing,
maintaining, changing blades on or working near this tool must read
and understand the Users Instructions Manual and view the Training
Video before using the Automotive Glass Removal Kit.
The most important safety device for this or any tool is "yourself". Your
care and good judgement are the best protection against injury.
Always wear impact resistant eye protection such as safety glasses or
goggles.
Special care is needed when handling the automotive glass removal
blades as the cutting edges are very sharp.
For protection of hands and fingers, the use of protective gloves is
recommended.
Always use blades and sharpen blades in a direction away from the
operator's hands.
Ensure blade retaining screw is tight when securing blades in the air
tool.
Do not bend blades in an incorrect manner or use them for purposes
other than which they are designed, as blade breakage could occur
(Refer to Users Instruction Manual).
The Automotive Glass Removal Air Tool, blades and accessories must
not be modified.
When cutting urethane adhesives, always use the recommended cutting
lubrication to avoid heat build up and possible toxic smoke.
Always shut off the air supply and disconnect the air tool from the air
supply when changing blades, making repairs, or when the tool is not in
use
For maximum performance, the air tool should be oiled daily
(Mobil DTE 10 EXCEL 68 is supplied, a lighter grade Mobil DTE 13M or
11M are recommended for colder climates). If recommended oil is not
available, use multi-purpose fine grade air tool oil.
Do not exceed recommended maximum air tool operating pressure (6.2 Bar)
Minimum to maximum air tool power is obtained by turning the air
control valve (SPB12).
Do not operate the air tool at high speed when not in use.
Do not start the air tool until the tool and blade are in the correct
operating position.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing when operating tool.
Only use recommended blades or accessories in the air tool.
This tool should only be used and repaired by qualified technicians.
Only use air tool in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and
approved applications.
Remove all loose dirt, grit or debris from edges of glass before
proceeding with cut-out (air is recommended for blowing away debris)
Cover the vehicle roof, hood or bonnet, interior seats and carpets with
protective covers.
If necessary, remove internal and external trimmings or mouldings, or
apply protective/masking tape to protect paintwork and trims.
Prior to cut-out, locate and identify fittings on the glass such as electrical
connections, heater elements, rain sensors etc.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
Care should be taken when disconnecting air supply, as whipping hoses
can cause serious injury.
Always check for damaged or loose hoses or fittings.
Be aware of excess hoses left on the floor or work surface area.

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS
The power and speed of the air tool can be controlled by the operator, providing
a safe, powerful cutting action when needed, or a gentle and precise cutting
action for delicate work.
BLADE VIBRATION
If a blade vibrates or flaps against the glass, refer to the following points
1
,
2
and
3
and also Diagrams
C
and
D
.
CUTTING LUBRICANT
Lubrication is important for blade movement. Always lubricate the internal
cutting area and the external cutting edge where possible.
COMFORT FOR THE TECHNICIAN
For the majority of front windshield cut-outs, the operator stands
comfortably in the doorway of the vehicle and observes from the external
side of the glass. Only the operator's arm(s) need enter to reach into the
vehicle interior (Refer Diagram
B
).
PROTECT GLASS SURFACE
Scratches to ceramic or UV bands may result from the back of the cutting
blade rubbing against the surface. To avoid this, ensure the blade is dry,
then apply a small pad of Velcro® to the offending section of the blade.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
If the shape and length of the blade tip reduces from repeated sharpening,
blade replacement may be necessary to regain efficiency.
When sharpening or re-sharpening the blades, do not overheat the blade.

3.
Check blade tip is flat against the glass
Ensure blade is held firm against the glass and angle is correct
When cutting below dashboard, keep tool and blade in straight line
where possible
