Composite Cutting Wheels Designed for
Wet Cutting
Wet cut whenever feasible. It reduces
reactive forces and will help control dust.
The cutting wheel must be supplied with
at least 20 fl. oz. (0.6 liters) of water per
minute for proper dust suppression. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
respiratory disease or other illness when
this flow rate cannot be achieved,
maintained or confirmed, the operator
and any bystanders should always wear
a NIOSH-approved respirator that is
rated for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions. The respirator must have an
Assigned Protection Factor sufficient to
provide the level of respiratory
protection needed for worksite-specific
conditions and the material being cut.
Even if wet cutting at the recommended
flow rate, an operator who is working
with the machine for more than two
hours in one day, along with any
bystanders, should always wear a
NIOSH-approved respirator that is rated
for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions.
Consult your employer for information
regarding worksite conditions and the
material being cut. Your employer is
likely to have in place an OSHA-required
respiratory protection program and can
provide information regarding the type
and level of respiratory protection
needed for your worksite. Information is
also available from OSHA at
www.OSHA.gov.
Before wet cutting, make sure water will
not damage the floor, building or other
property, the material being cut or any
TS 700, TS 800
surrounding objects. Make sure that
"run-off" will not cause any type of
environmental damage or come into
contact with electrical sources.
WARNING
STIHL recommends the use of only
STIHL-branded cutting wheels on your
cut-off machine. Use of non-STIHL
cutting wheels may be extremely
dangerous. See the chapter "Reducing
the Risk of Kickback Injury" in this
instruction manual.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution to you
or bystanders, do not allow water or
sludge to contact live electric wires or
other electrical power sources.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from wheel
breakage when wet cutting with any
composite wheel:
1. Make certain water does not flow on
a wheel that is not running, since the
wheel will absorb water, which will
affect wheel balance.
2. Be certain water is applied to both
sides of wheel, since uneven
distribution can cause "one sided"
wear.
3. After finishing work, run the cutting
wheel at normal operating speed for
about 3 to 6 seconds without water
so that the remaining water is flung
off.
Respiratory Protection
WARNING
The cutting wheel must be supplied with
at least 20 fl. oz. (0.6 liters) of water per
minute for proper dust suppression.
Inhalation of airborne crystalline silica
can cause serious or fatal injury or
illness, such as kidney disease and
respiratory diseases, including silicosis
and lung cancer.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
respiratory disease or other illness when
this flow rate cannot be achieved,
maintained or confirmed, the operator
and any bystanders should always wear
a NIOSH-approved respirator that is
rated for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions. The respirator must have an
Assigned Protection Factor sufficient to
provide the level of respiratory
protection needed for worksite-specific
conditions and the material being cut.
Even if wet cutting at the recommended
flow rate, an operator who is working
with the machine for more than two
hours in one day, along with any
bystanders, should always wear a
NIOSH-approved respirator that is rated
for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions.
Consult your employer for information
regarding worksite conditions and the
material being cut. Your employer is
likely to have in place an OSHA-required
respiratory protection program and can
provide information regarding the type
and level of respiratory protection
