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

Fit second wire pull handle to other wire end.

Perform repair work with the aid of a second person.

Cutting wire (4) must be guided in cutting direction at an acute as possible angle (>45°) to adhesive bead (1).

Cut through adhesive bead (1) by pulling cutting handle (2) and at the same time providing counter support with cutting handle (3).

Pull back cutting wire (4) with cutting handle (3) and make sure that cutting wire (4) is always held under tension.

Cut through remaining adhesive bead in the same way.
