Changing the Blade
A hex screw holds the blade in place. Loosen the screw and pull
the blade out of the sheath. Insert a new blade and tighten the
screw tightly against the blade. The blade retaining screw is
accessible through the side of the base on all Equalizer® tools.
Put The Blade In Correctly
Look at how the blade is installed when you receive your
Equalizer®Magnum XP and always put it in the same way.
The flat side rides against the glass. This method of installing
the blade is important because the unique way the blade
is sharpened makes it hug the glass and cut the urethane
where it is easier to cut. The only exception to the above is
when the glass is encapsulated or has mouldings bonded to
the glass. If you are trying to take an encapsulated glass out
without breaking it, turn the blade around so the flat side will
hug the pinchweld. If you do not do this the blade may cut
into the plastic and damage the moulding.
It is acceptable to run The Equalizer®Magnum XP on a generator. Be sure the generator produces at least 1000
watts of 120-Volt alternating current.You can also run The Equalizer®Magnum XP on an inverter. Do not use an
inverter smaller than 1000 watts. If the inverter gives a signal that the battery which powers it is getting low be
sure to start the motor of your mobile vehicle to recharge the battery. Some inverters can continue to run these
tools even though the inverter is not producing 120-Volts of electricity. This can damage your tool.

The Equalizer®Magnum XP is an interior auto
glass cut-out knife. It is designed to cut the
urethane bonding which holds most modern
auto glass in cars.The .020” thick blade
reciprocates inside a metal sheath. This sheath
protects the dash and garnish mouldings and
regulates the depth at which the blade cuts. The
blade is exposed only 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inches
on the end, depending on how you adjust the blade.The blade length is adjustable
because different cars have different widths of urethane bonding.
