Workshop equipment

WE58.40-Z-1011-03A Cutting tool kit (compressed-air tool + blades)    

NOTES Do not allow blade to touch paint to avoid scratches. Do not touch surface of remaining bead of glue after cutting through, because this has a negative effect on the adherence. After cutting through the bead of glue, do not wait longer than 6-8 hours to complete the repair. If it is not possible to complete the repair within this time, apply Beta primer 5404 to the remaining bead of glue to achieve good adhesion.

  1. Insert blade WK6 (2) into handle (1) and remove remaining bead of glue from body.

    NOTES Round off corners of blade (2) with WK8 whetstone to prevent damaging paint. A remaining bead of glue with a height of approx. 0.5 mm can remain on the body. Position tool at angle of 45 to remaining bead of glue.
