Optimum cutting is guaranteed when the cord is at an acute angle to the adhesive bead. There is a risk of the cord ripping if the angle is too obtuse.

The separation device must be positioned correspondingly to achieve the appropriate angle.

1. Fix separation device (1) on window glass at bottom right.
2. Depending on accessibility, attach bit holder (2) or angle gear (3) to cordless screwdriver (4).
3. Place cordless screwdriver (4) on separation device (1) and start winding cord, observe direction of rotation on separation device.

If required, over trim panel components with plastic protection.

Guide cord with plastic protection around sharp-edged positions.

Cut through adhesive bead up to bottom area of A-pillar.

Turn back cordless screwdriver (4) approx. 2 rotations and remove.
