Note
• It is generally possible to remove the windscreen with the cutting wire and the optional cutting thread
contained in the tool set.
• In contrast to cutting threads, however, the cutting wire has the following disadvantages:
• Danger of injury when tearing off the cutting wire.
• Danger of damage to materials on paint surfaces and interior equipment parts.
• For the reasons outlined above we recommend using the cutting thread.
WARNING
Danger of cut injuries when removing and installing car windows!
• Cutting out glued car windows may lead to cut injuries to the skin and the eyes due to flying glass
splinters and may cause cut injuries due to the knife of the cutter.
• Always wear protective gloves when working on car windows.
Wear protective goggles when cutting out car windows.
•
• Only replace the cutting knife with the power supply disconnected in order to ensure that the cutter
cannot be switched on accidentally.
