41 00... Separating Adhesive Beads With Wire Pull Handle: Notes

WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves for your own safety.

Attention! 

Exercise caution when handling sharp-edged tools (risk of damage to carbon parts).

Attention! 

Follow the individual repair instructions!

Protect inner and outer working area (body, trim panels, cables, etc.) against damage.

Used tool: 

Attach wire pull handles: 

Feed in cutting wire (1) in cutting handle (2) and clamping element (3) as illustrated.

Move back cutting handle (2) over clamping element (3) and trap wire end (4).

Danger of injury! 

Wire end (4) must not protrude out of cutting handle (2).

Cutting handle (2) can be secured to the body with suction cup (5) during each of the work operations. This prevents damage to the body surface.

Fit second wire pull handle to other wire end.

Cutting wire (1) must be guided in cutting direction at an angle that is as acute as possible (<45°) to adhesive bead (2).

Separate adhesive bead (2) by alternately pulling on the pull handles (3) and (4).

Wide adhesive beads require a considerable application of force.

Ensure that the cutting wire (1) is always under tension.
