Diamond Cutting Wheels

STIHL diamond cutting wheels are
suitable for wet cutting.
To reduce the risk of severe personal
injury or death, always use a diamond
cutting wheel that is properly rated for
the material to be cut and the reduced
speed of your TS 440.
All STIHL-branded diamond cutting
wheels can be used on the TS 440.
Other brands of wheels developed for
high speed cut-off machines may not
perform well on the TS 440 or may show
premature wear. Never use wheels that
wobble or that ever have wobbled,
wheels with abrasive material on their
sides, or wheels not rated for the
material you are cutting. Never use
chipped or damaged abrasive cutting
wheels, circular saw blades, carbide-
tipped blades, rescue blades or wood
cutting tooth blades of any nature. Use
of such wheels can increase the risk of
severe personal injury from increased
reactive forces, loss of control or other
causes. The designation on the wheel's
label or packaging can help to ensure
the correct choice of a cutting wheel.

that are suitable for cutting the following
materials with the TS 440:
Asphalt

Do not cut any other materials with your
diamond cutting wheel. Always use a
diamond cutting wheel rated for the type
of material you are cutting. Cut-off
machines are not suitable for cutting
certain metals and other substances,
including wood and plastic.
WARNING
Never use diamond cutting wheels with
abrasive material on their sides, since in
a pinch or bind situation, they can
increase frictional forces and result in
extreme kickback, increasing the risk of
severe or fatal injury.
Non-STIHL branded wheels used on the
TS 440 may not perform adequately or
may show premature wear because of
its slower cutting speeds and increased
torque. They also may have design or
manufacturing flaws that make their use
extremely dangerous. STIHL
recommends the use of only properly
rated, STIHL-branded cutting wheels on
the TS 440.
