Claim:
A process for cutting through plastic films in laminated glass using a blade, comprising the steps of: scratching top and bottom panes that together form two panes of laminated glass; breaking the two panes of laminated glass to form two parts; pulling the two parts of the laminated glass apart to open between the two parts of the laminated glass a gap in which a film which is located between the two panes of laminated glass lies freely; pendulously suspending a carrier on a plate of a holding device; vertically adjusting a holding part of the holding device that bears the blade relative to the carrier; placing the blade next to the gap on the laminated glass; moving the blade transversely to a lengthwise extension of the gap between the two parts of the laminated glass in a direction towards the gap until the blade reaches the area of the gap; then moving the blade into the gap; and finally moving the blade along the gap to cut through the film.
