A: REMOVAL

1) Slide in a thin thread (A) of 0.8 mm (0.031 in) diam-
eter or less (fishing line etc.) between the body and
the protector, and cut the double-sided tape. Pull the
protector, and remove the clip using the clip remover.

NOTE:
• To optimize the effect of solvent, slide the thread
along body without removing the double-sided tape
on the surface of body and protector.
• If it is difficult to remove the double-sided tape,
warm it up to approx. 40°C (104°F).
• If the double-sided tape remains thick on the sur-
face due to interfacial peeling, apply solvent after
slicing off the double-sided tape using a cutter.

2) Apply masking tape around the double-sided
tape remaining on the surface of body or protector.
3) Apply solvent uniformly on the double-sided tape
using a brush.

CAUTION:
• Do not use solvent to the body which has
been repaired with lacquer paint.
• Wipe off immediately when the solvent is at-
tached on surface of the body or protector.

Solvent:

3M 8907 or equivalent

4) Cover the area where solvent is applied using
plastic wrap (A), and then heat the double-sided
tape for 5 to 10 minutes in 40 — 60°C (104 —
140°F) using a heat light (B).

CAUTION:
Do not heat the double-sided tape until the sur-
face becomes white and excessively dried.
5) Remove the double-sided tape using a plastic
spatula.
6) After completely removing the double-sided
tape, detach the masking tape and clean the sur-
face using a cotton cloth damped with white gaso-
line.
