have it repaired under warranty, we require that you return the

complete tool including the blades.

Equalizer Industries, Inc., reserves the right to refuse to repair, at
our expense, any tool which has not been properly maintained as
specified in the Users Guide. Particularly important are the following:

1. KEEP THE BLADES SHARP!!!!! This is the one thing most technicians WILL
NOT do and it WILL damage the tool.

2. Use a cutting lubricant. If you are using the short cut method (not
recommended by anyone anymore) use only clean water as a cutting
lubricant.

3. DO NOT HIT THE PINCHWELD. THIS WILL DESTROY THE DRIVE
MECHANISM OF YOUR TOOL.

Sharpening the Blade

To sharpen the blade, simply grind the edge on a bench grinder, belt sander, or use
a file or honing stone. You do not have to remove the blade to sharpen it. Be sure
to disconnect electric tools from the power source, disconnect air tools from air
pressure, and remove the battery from cordless tools. The use of any material other
than our blades will cause damage to the sheath and drive unit and will void your
warranty.

About Equalizer®Auto Glass Cut-Out Knife Sheaths…

The sheath is a unique patented idea that makes Equalizer® tools work. The sheath
is a protective sleeve that surrounds the blade so the blade will not damage the
dash or garnish mouldings. The sheath is designed to help you regulate the length
of the blade. This is important to keep the blade from hitting the pinchweld on
the outside. Sheaths are available in 4-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch sizes. The 4-inch
is most commonly used around quarter glasses where there is not much vertical
height. The 8-inch is the most commonly used size when removing windshields or
back glasses. The 12-inch is useful when reaching far below the dash on vehicles
where the windshield extends below the hood.

RUST PREVENTION

To prevent rust caused by water droplets, place a few drops of oil into the sheath

every day and allow it to run down into the blade holder.

Keep your blades sharp! This is crucial for effective cutting action and tool

longevity. A dull blade will destroy the drive mechanism in your Equalizer® tool.

Sharpen the blade between each removal with a diamond file. Be careful to

maintain the original sharpening angle.

Every ten removals, re-sharpen the blade on a bench grinder. Keeping a sharp

blade will help the tool cut faster, will reduce vibration, increase the life of the tool,

and reduce fatigue for the user. Most tool damage is caused because the blade

has not been kept sharp. Equalizer® does not warranty tools in these cases.

Before You Begin Cutting...

Spray the entire cutting area and blade
with plenty of water. Lubrication is vital for
maximum cutting ease. Failure to use water
increases cutting friction and will cause
tool damage. Periodically spray the blade
with water.
