English
Cut a guiding groove along the
N
marked cutting line, starting at the
top and moving out towards both
sides.
Cut into the pipe or round object,
N
etc. at the ends of the cutting line so
that the material does not chip.
Cut deeper into the parting cut with
N
uniform back-and-forth movements,
starting at the top and moving out
towards the sides. Advance the
cutting wheel along the guiding
groove at full cutting depth. Always
reposition the cutting wheel afresh,
taking care not to wedge it if the
cutting direction has to be corrected
slightly. If necessary, leave small
ridges of uncut material to hold the
severed part in position. These
ridges can subsequently be broken
through.

Cutting wheels
Cutting wheels are exposed to
extremely high loads especially during
freehand cutting.
The cutting wheels that have been
developed for STIHL by well-known
manufacturers of abrasive wheels are of
high quality and tailored precisely to the
respective intended use as well as the
engine performance of the cut-off
machine.
Transport and storage
Do not expose cutting wheels to
–
direct sunshine or other thermal
stresses during transport and
storage
Avoid jolting and impacts
–
Stack cutting wheels flat on a level
–
surface in the original packaging in
a dry place where the temperature
is as constant as possible
Do not store cutting wheels in the
–
vicinity of aggressive fluids
Store cutting wheels in a frost-free
–
place
Composite resin cutting
wheels
Economic benefit is improved and
premature wear can be avoided by
choosing and using the correct
composite resin cutting wheel. The short
name (e.g. "asphalt", "concrete")
on the label and
–
on the packaging (table with
–
recommended uses)
can help to ensure the correct choice.
STIHL composite resin cutting wheels
are suitable, depending on the version,
for cutting the following materials:
Asphalt
–
Concrete
–
Stone
–
Ductile cast pipes
–
Steel
