2.
Check that the glass is totally
free from the moulding and
adhesive, then slide the glass
down & out of the moulding
(Refer Diagram G and H).
3.
The mouldings and glass will
now be loose and free after
cut-out allowing an easier
release of any remaining
urethane stringers.
4.
For encapsulated mouldings,
refer to Diagrams F, L and M:
"Encapsulated Glass Removal".
UNDAMAGED GLASS REMOVAL
When operating in high risk areas or corner regions, or removing laminated
glass, distribute the cutting action around the complete corner or risk area
to create a gradual separation. Do not create leverage or force the blade
into adhesive, which may cause pressure points. Do not push or force the
glass until the internal cut out is 100% complete. Always carry out a nal
check with a hand held blade to ensure separation.
REGULATING CUTTING DEPTH WITH DEPTH CONTROLLER ARMS
A range of controller arms are provided with each kit to be used either
underneath or on top of the cutting blades. They can be quickly attached
into the air tool controller cap and adjusted to regulate the blade cutting
depth to avoid damage to the pinchweld, mouldings and glass etc.
(Refer Diagram I, J, K and M - "Encapsulated Glass Removal").

ENCAPSULATED GLASS REMOVAL - REVERSE "R" BLADES
For encapsulated glass removal, the specially designed "R" (orange) blades,
(or the WK1 or WK2 blades with radius side toward glass) are generally used.
Using these blades, the radiussed side is held toward glass. In this reverse
mode, the blade now cuts away from the glass - underneath the
encapsulation. (Refer Diagram L).

Where necessary, controller arms can be tted to the controller cap, so that
the controller arm steers the blade underneath the encapsulated moulding,
also controlling the depth of penetration and avoids blade tip hitting the
pinchweld and/or moulding aps or tails.

SHARPENING OF BLADES
The best cutting results are obtained with sharp blades. The procedure for
sharpening the blades is as follows:
1.
Sharpen blades from radiussed (machined) side only.
2.
Keep the at side of the blade smooth to allow sliding motion on the
glass surface.
3.
If the blade cutting edge is damaged, it needs to be re-shaped on a belt
sander then polished smooth and stone sharpened.
WARNING: COARSE GRINDING OR BLUNT BLADES WILL ADVERSELY
