Vibrating knife

The vibrating knife is made up of special shears and a suitable set of vibrating blades with electrically adjustable oscillation numbers.

It can be used to cut polyurethane sealants. It is important that when cutting the blade is always kept parallel to the window and to the bodywork, to prevent breaking the blade.

To prevent the shears from overheating it is useful to adjust the advance and the number of oscillations according to the usage conditions.

Detail A shows the scraper to be fitted to the vibrating shears to level the residues of sealant.

Do not use lubricants during cutting.
The blades should always be sharpened.

The diagrams at the side and underneath illustrate certain situations which recur when cutting bonded windows with the appropriate type of blade.
