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 aps against the glass, refer to the following points 1, 2 and
3 and also Diagrams C and D.
1.
Check blade tip is at against the glass
2.
Ensure blade is held rm against the glass and angle is correct
3.
When cutting below dashboard, keep tool and blade in straight line
where possible
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 o ending 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 e ciency.
When sharpening or re-sharpening the blades, do not overheat the blade.
