Sample Applications

Water Connection
– A water attachment kit is mounted
on the machine for use with all types
of water supply.
– A pressurized 2.6 gallon (10 liter)
water tank also is available from
STIHL for wet cutting.
For proper dust suppression, always
ensure that you have sufficient water
pressure to produce the recommended
flow rate of 20 fluid ounces per minute
(0.6 liters/minute), regardless of the
water source.
The pressure and flow rate available
from the water source will affect the
actual amount of water available for dust
suppression when wet cutting with your
cut-off machine. For example, when
using a pressurized or gravity-fed water
tank, water pressure will decrease as
the water level in the tank decreases.
STIHL recommends using the highest
water flow setting on your cut-off
machine whenever possible. Maintain
pressure by re-filling gravity-fed tanks
and re-pressurizing pressurized tanks
periodically.
STIHL recommends always wet cutting
at the highest flow rate when conditions
permit. The highest flow setting is
obtained by pressing the (+) control
button on the water control panel 9 times
in succession or by depressing it for at
least 5 seconds.
TS 440
If the operator cannot achieve and
maintain a sufficient flow rate using the
highest flow setting on the cut-off
machine, connect the cut-off machine to
a water source with sufficient pressure
to deliver at least 20 fluid ounces
(0.6 liters) of water per minute.
Inhalation of airborne crystalline silica
can cause serious or fatal injury or
illness, such as kidney disease and
respiratory diseases, including silicosis
and lung cancer. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal respiratory disease or
other illness when a source of water with
adequate pressure is unavailable, when
the water flow cannot be confirmed or
when worksite conditions do not allow
use of 20 fluid ounces per minute, the
operator and any bystanders should
always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator that is rated for the material
being cut and appropriate for worksite-
specific conditions. The respirator must
have an Assigned Protection Factor
sufficient to provide the level of
respiratory protection needed for the
material being cut and appropriate for
worksite-specific conditions.
Consult your employer for information
regarding worksite conditions and the
material you are cutting. Your employer
is likely to have in place an OSHA-
required respiratory protection program
and can provide information regarding
the type and level of respiratory
protection needed for your worksite.
Information is also available from OSHA
at www.OSHA.gov.
Wet Cutting with Diamond Cutting
Wheels
STIHL diamond cutting wheels are
suitable for wet cutting. The composite
wheel developed by STIHL for use on
the TS 440 is not approved for wet
cutting and may shatter or break if used
for wet cutting, resulting in severe or
fatal injury. You should not wet cut with
any composite wheel on the TS 440.
Wet cut whenever feasible. It increases
the service life of diamond wheels,
reduces reactive forces and will help
control dust.
The cutting wheel must be supplied with
at least 20 fl. oz. (0.6 liters) of water per
minute for proper dust suppression. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
respiratory disease or other illness when
this flow rate cannot be achieved,
maintained or confirmed, the operator
and any bystanders should always wear
a NIOSH-approved respirator that is
rated for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions. The respirator must have an
Assigned Protection Factor sufficient to
provide the level of respiratory
protection needed for the material being
cut and worksite-specific conditions.
Even if wet cutting at the recommended
flow rate, an operator who is working
with the machine for more than two
hours in one day, along with any
bystanders, should always wear a
NIOSH-approved respirator that is rated
for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions.
