Use water properly:
1. Be certain water is applied to both
sides of wheel, since uneven
distribution can cause one sided
wear with possible wheel breakage.
2. Make certain water does not flow on
wheel that is not running, since the
wheel will absorb water and that will
affect wheel balance.
3. After finishing work, run the cutting
wheel at normal operating speed for
about 3 to 6 seconds without water
so that the remaining water is flung
off.
Water connection
A water attachment kit is mounted
–
on the machine for use with all types
of water supply.
A pressurized 10 liter water tank is
–
available from STIHL for dust
suppression.
A water tank for mounting on the
–
Cutquik cart is also available for
dust suppression.
Respiratory protection
WARNING
When wet cutting at the recommended
flow rate is not utilized, the operator and
any bystanders should always wear a
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA
for the material being cut. Even if wet
cutting, an operator who is actively
cutting for more than two hours a day
should wear at least a NIOSH-approved
disposable respirator.

The cutting sequence
The cutting sequence is important when
cutting openings and recesses, etc. The
last cut must always be made in such a
way that the cutting wheel cannot
become bound and so that the user is
not at risk of being injured by the part
that has been cut off or out.
If applicable, leave small ridges of uncut
material to hold the severed part in
position. These ridges can subsequently
be broken through.
A number of points must be decided
before the part is finally severed:
How heavy is the part?
–
In which direction can it move after
–
being severed?
Is it under tension?
–
Helpers must not be put at risk of injury
when the part is broken off or out.
Cutting in several passes
Mark cutting line (A).
N
Work along the cutting line. If
N
corrections are necessary, always
reposition the cutting wheel, taking
care to ensure that it is not wedged.
The cutting depth per pass should
not exceed 5 to 6 cm (2" to 2 1/2").
Thicker material must be cut in
several passes.
Thick-walled workpieces should be
N
cut with a uniform swinging
movement, back and forth.
