4. Instrucións de funcionamento
The Sealey RT003 is designed for efficient removal of automotive trim clips and studs. Follow these steps for optimal performance and safety:
- Identify the Trim Clip/Stud: Locate the trim clip or stud that needs to be removed. Ensure there is sufficient access for the tool's long reach.
- Position the Clawed Head: Carefully slide the clawed head of the RT003 tool under the edge of the trim clip or around the base of the trim stud. The design of the claw allows for effective engagement with various clip types.
- Apply Leverage: Once the clawed head is securely positioned, apply steady, controlled leverage by gently prying the tool upwards or outwards. The long shaft provides extended reach and improved leverage, reducing the effort required.
- Remove the Clip/Stud: Continue applying leverage until the trim clip or stud disengages from its mounting point. Avoid excessive force, which could damage the trim, the mounting surface, or the tool itself.
- Inspeccionar a área: After removal, inspect the surrounding area and the removed clip/stud for any damage.
Nota: For stubborn clips, a slight twisting motion may assist in disengagement, but always prioritize controlled force to prevent damage.
5. Mantemento
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your Sealey RT003 tool.
- Limpeza: After each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. For stubborn grime, a mild cleaning solution can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Lubricación: The carbon steel shaft does not require regular lubrication. However, if the tool is exposed to moisture, a light coat of rust-preventative oil can be applied to the metal parts before storage.
- Almacenamento: Store the tool in a dry, clean environment, away from corrosive materials and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.
- Inspección: Periodically inspect the tool for any signs of wear, bending, or damage to the clawed head or shaft. If the tool shows significant wear or damage, it should be replaced to ensure safe and effective operation.
