WARNING
Use of the wrong abrasive wheel or the
cutting of material for which the wheel
was not designed may cause the wheel
to shatter causing serious or fatal injury.
Only use the abrasive wheel approved
for the type of material to be cut. There
are different types of abrasive wheels,
each specially marked. With respect to
STIHL composite wheels, for example:
1. Stone
Also can be used for concrete,
masonry, reinforced concrete and
brick cutting.
2. Steel
Can be used for all ferrous metal
cutting.
3. Asphalt
Also can be used for aggregate
concrete cutting.
4. Ductile iron
Also can be used for certain grades
of cast iron (SG 17-24), bronze and
copper cutting.
For cutting composite materials please
ask your STIHL dealer.
Diamond Abrasive Wheels
Diamond abrasive wheels have a much
better cutting performance than
composite abrasive wheels. The
diamond wheels are steel centered, and
diamond particles are imbedded in their
cutting edges.
They can be used for concrete, asphalt,
natural stone, clay pipe, brick and the
like.
They are not normally suitable for cutting
most metal or other materials.

Wet or dry cutting is possible. Water
attachments are included with your
STIHL cut-off machine. See the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual.
WARNING
Do not remount a used diamond
abrasive wheel without first inspecting
for under-cutting, flatness, core fatigue,
segment damage or loss, signs of
overheating (discoloration) and possible
arbor hole damage. See the chapter
"Diamond Cutting Wheels." Check the
wheel for cracks and make sure that no
pieces have broken off the wheel before
use.
Always fit the wheel so that the arrow on
the wheel points in the direction of the
rotation of the spindle.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Transporting the STIHL Cutquik
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from
unintended activation and / or contact
with a moving wheel, always stop the
engine before putting a cut-off machine
down or carrying it. The abrasive wheel
continues to rotate (coast down) for a
short while after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect). Bring the
wheel to a stop by lightly contacting the
bottom of the wheel with a hard surface
or wait until the wheel comes to a
complete stop on its own. Carrying a cut-
off machine with the engine running is
extremely dangerous. Accidental
acceleration of the engine can cause the
wheel to rotate. Avoid touching the hot
muffler.
By hand: When carrying your cut-off
machine by hand, the engine must be
stopped and the cut-off machine must
be in the proper position. Grip the front
handle and place the muffler at the side
away from the body with the cutting
attachment to the rear.
WARNING
Always protect the cutting wheel from
hitting the ground or any other objects.
Damaged wheels may shatter and
cause serious or fatal injury.
By vehicle: Properly secure your cut-off
machine to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage to the cut-off
machine. Never transport with cutting
wheel mounted. A wheel damaged
during transportation may shatter during
operation and cause serious personal
injury.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction
manual.)
