The form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil are radially inserted into the slots such as to embrace a tooth of the laminated core, and a removable auxiliary element is placed at an axial end face of the laminated core to protect the insulation of the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil as the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil is radially inserted into the slots. The auxiliary element is radially removed and repositioned on a further tooth of the laminated core.
