English
c) Do not position your body in line
with the rotating wheel. Kickback
will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel's movement
at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain,
woodcarving blade, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of
control.
f) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases
the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in
the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in
motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.

h) Do not restart the cutting operation
in the workpiece. Let the wheel
reach full speed and carefully re-
enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
i) Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a
"pocket cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.

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 gallons (10 liter)
–
water tank is available from STIHL
for wet cutting.
Use clean water for binding dust.
Most diamond cutting wheels are
suitable for wet cutting
Wet cut whenever feasible. It increases
the service life and cutting speed of
diamond cutting wheels.
Ensure that the cutting wheel is
generously supplied with water.
Wet cutting helps to suppress dust. The
water binds the dust. The cutting wheel
must be supplied with at least 20 fl. oz
(0.6 liters) water per minute.
Wet cutting can also reduce the energy
of reactive forces. In a pinch situation,
the water can act as a lubricant.
Composite resin wheels can be used for
dry cutting of metals or for wet or dry
cutting of concrete, stone or masonry.
Composite resin wheels designed for
dry cutting
Special procedures must be followed
when wet cutting with a composite non-
diamond wheel designed for dry cutting.
