Diamond Abrasive Wheels
STIHL diamond cutting wheels are
suitable for wet cutting.
To reduce the risk of severe personal
injury or death, always use a diamond
cutting wheel that is properly rated for
the material to be cut.
All STIHL-branded diamond cutting
wheels can be used on your cut-off
machine. Never use wheels that wobble
or that ever have wobbled, wheels with
abrasive material on their sides, or
wheels not rated for the material you are
cutting. Never use chipped or damaged
abrasive cutting wheels, circular saw
blades, carbide-tipped blades, rescue
blades or wood cutting tooth blades of
any nature. Use of such wheels can
increase the risk of severe personal
injury from increased reactive forces,
loss of control or other causes. The
designation on the wheel's label or
packaging can help to ensure the correct
choice of a cutting wheel.

Do not cut any other materials with your
diamond cutting wheel. Always use a
diamond cutting wheel rated for the type
of material you are cutting. Cut-off
machines are not suitable for cutting
certain metals and other substances,
including wood and plastic.
WARNING
Never use diamond cutting wheels with
abrasive material on their sides, since in
a pinch or bind situation, they can
increase frictional forces and result in
extreme kickback, increasing the risk of
severe or fatal injury.
Non-STIHL branded wheels may have
design or manufacturing flaws that make
their use extremely dangerous. STIHL
recommends the use of only properly
rated, STIHL-branded cutting wheels.
