Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the air consumption requirement for this tool?

This tool requires 30 CFM at 90 PSI to perform optimally.

Can I use this on all types of windscreens?

It is designed for removing glued-in windscreens and works on most standard caulking and urethane adhesive systems.

How do I change the blades?

The blades are held in place by a clamp mechanism. Ensure the air supply is disconnected before loosening the fasteners to swap blades.

Do I need to oil the tool?

Yes, regular lubrication via the air inlet is required to keep the internal pneumatic motor in good working condition.

What is the advantage of the cranked blades?

Cranked blades provide offset clearance, which is essential for reaching adhesive beads tucked under trim or dashboard areas.

Is a specialized compressor necessary?

Because of the 30 CFM requirement, a standard small-tank household compressor may struggle to keep up; a professional-grade shop compressor is recommended.

Troubleshooting

The tool lacks sufficient cutting power

Verify that your air compressor is delivering 90 PSI and check that your air hose is at least 3/8 inch in diameter to allow sufficient CFM airflow.

Blade binding or stalling during use

Ensure the blade is not dull and that you are not pushing the tool too fast; let the 5,000 OPM speed do the cutting.

Air leakage at the tool inlet

Check the 1/4 inch BSP fitting for damaged threads or worn O-rings; apply thread sealant tape if necessary.

Pros and Cons

  • Comprehensive set of three specialized blades
  • Precise speed control for safe operation
  • Ergonomic safety trigger to prevent accidents
  • Flexible hose improves access to difficult spots

Cons

  • Requires a high-capacity air compressor (30 CFM)
  • Not suitable for use with low-volume home compressors

  • Pneumatic setup required

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tool, ensure your air source is equipped with a 1/4 inch BSP fitting and that your supply hose meets the 3/8 inch (10mm) diameter requirement to support the 30 CFM draw.

  1. Check the air line for moisture and ensure a filter/regulator/lubricator (FRL) is installed to keep the internal motor clean.
  2. Select the appropriate blade for your specific windscreen curvature.
  3. Secure the blade firmly using the provided mounting hardware.
  4. After each use, clean the blade edges to prevent buildup of old adhesive, which can cause friction and blade binding.
  5. Periodically apply a few drops of air tool oil into the air inlet to maintain smooth piston operation.
