WARNING
Never use circular saw
blades, carbide tipped
blades, rescue blades,
wood-cutting blades or
toothed blades of any
nature on your cut-off
machine. They can cause
severe personal injury
from blade contact,
thrown objects and/or
reactive forces, including
kickback. See the section
"Reactive Forces" in this
instruction manual. Your
STIHL dealer stocks
STIHL branded abrasive
cutting wheels suitable
for the many authorized
applications of this cut-off
machine.
WARNING
Using the wrong abrasive cutting wheel
or cutting material for which the wheel
was not designed may cause the wheel
to wobble, shatter, break or increase
reactive forces, causing serious or fatal
injury. See below and the section
"Reactive Forces" in this instruction
manual.
Cutting unauthorized materials, such as
wood or plastic, or using wheels that are
not rated for the material being cut, can
result in severe personal injury or death
from wheel breakage, reactive forces or
loss of control.

Composite Cutting Wheels
Free-hand cutting with composite
cutting wheels can subject the wheels to
particularly high bending and
compression stress, which can increase
the possibility of wheel breakage. Avoid
side loading the cutting wheel and
always use proper working technique.
See the chapter "Sample Applications"
in this instruction manual.
WARNING
Inspect the composite
cutting wheel frequently
and replace immediately
if it is cracked or warped.
Cracked or warped
wheels may shatter or
break and cause serious
or fatal personal injury.
Out-of-round or
unbalanced wheels
increase vibration,
reduce the service life of
the cut-off machine and
may result in loss of
control.
Composite cutting wheels are heat
sensitive. Always store your cut-off
machine in a place where a composite
cutting wheel is not exposed to direct
sunlight or other sources of heat. Store
spare composite cutting wheels flat on a
level surface in a dry place where there
is no risk of frost damage. Failure to
follow these directions may cause the
wheel to shatter or crack in use, 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 cutting
concrete, masonry, reinforced
concrete and brick.
2. Steel
Can be used for cutting all ferrous
metal.
3. Asphalt
Also can be used for cutting
aggregate concrete.
4. Ductile iron
Also can be used for cutting certain
grades of cast iron (SG 17-24),
bronze and copper.
Diamond Cutting Wheels
WARNING
Some diamond cutting wheels that are
not STIHL branded utilize poor quality
steel cores, are not properly hardened or
tensioned, or have other design or
manufacturing defects that can result in
wheel breakage, thrown segments and
other safety issues, including wheel
wobble. Wheels that wobble during use
can result in reactive forces and present
other safety issues that could result in
loss of control and severe personal
injury or death. Wobbling, for example,
can lead to a severe binding of the wheel
in the cut that, under certain
circumstances, can then result in
serious or fatal injury from kickback or
