Application Examples
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,
up to 10 liters per minute.
Wet cutting helps to suppress dust.
The water binds the dust.
The cutting wheel must be supplied with
at least 0.6 liters water per minute.
Wet cutting can reduce the energy of
reactive forces. In a pinch situation, the
water can act as a lubricant.
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.

Composite resin cutting wheels
can be used for dry cutting of
metals or for wet or dry cutting of
concrete, stone or masonry.
Special procedures must be followed
when dry cutting with a composite non-
diamond wheel. See in the section
entitled „Wet Cutting with Composite
Wheels" lin the safety precautions of this
manual. Wet cutting is generally not
suitable for cutting metals.
Respiratory protection
!
Warning!
When wet cutting is not utilized, the
operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut.
Points to be noted with diamond
and composite resin cutting
wheels
Object to be cut
–
Must be fully supported
–
Must be secured so that it cannot
roll or slip away
–
Must be protected against vibration
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.
