other reactive forces. See the section
"Reactive Forces including Kickback" in
this instruction manual.
Never use a wheel that wobbles or that
has ever wobbled. Even though such a
wheel may temporarily cease to wobble,
e.g., if run without load, it will always be
prone to wobble again under certain
conditions. Replace it immediately
before further use of the cut-off machine.
Diamond cutting wheels generally have
a better cutting performance than
composite cutting wheels. Diamond
cutting wheels have steel cores and
cutting segments embedded with
diamonds attached to their outer edges.
Properly rated diamond cutting wheels
can be used for cutting concrete,
asphalt, natural stone, clay pipe, brick
and the like. STIHL also offers diamond
cutting wheels for cutting ductile iron and
some structural steel. They are not,
however, suitable for cutting all metals
or other materials, including wood or
plastic. See the chapter "Diamond
Cutting Wheels" in this instruction
manual for more details regarding the
type of materials that can be cut with
properly rated STIHL diamond cutting
wheels.
WARNING
Wet or dry cutting is possible with the
appropriate diamond cutting wheel. A
water attachment kit is mounted on your
STIHL cut-off machine. Wet cutting
reduces dust and reactive forces and is
recommended whenever possible. See
the chapter "Sample Applications" in this
instruction manual.

WARNING
Do not remount a used diamond cutting
wheel without first inspecting it for
under-cutting, flatness, core fatigue or
damage, segment damage or loss, signs
of overheating (discoloration) and
possible arbor hole damage. See the
chapter "Diamond Cutting Wheels."
Check the wheel for cracks and make
sure that no pieces have broken off the
wheel before use. Never use any wheel,
diamond or composite, that has been
damaged.
Always mount the diamond cutting
wheel so that the arrow on the wheel
points in the direction of the rotation of
the spindle.

Transporting the STIHL Cutquik
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from
unintended activation and/or contact
with a moving wheel, always shut off the
engine before putting the machine down
or carrying it. The abrasive cutting wheel
continues to rotate (coast down) for a
few seconds after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect). If faster
stoppage time is required, bring the
wheel to a stop by lightly contacting the
bottom of the wheel with a hard surface.
Carrying a cut-off machine with the
wheel turning or the engine running is
extremely dangerous. Contact with a
moving wheel, even if the engine is
turned off, can result in severe personal
injury or death, and accidental
acceleration of the engine can cause the
wheel to rotate if the engine is still
running.
Avoid touching the hot muffler or
allowing it to touch you.
WARNING
Always protect the cutting wheel from
accidentally hitting the ground or any
other objects, which can increase the
risk of serious personal injury or death
from a shattered composite cutting
wheel, from loss of diamond cutting
wheel segments or from loss of control.
Transporting by hand: When carrying
your cut-off machine by hand, the
engine must be shut off and the rotating
wheel stopped, and the cut-off machine
must be correctly positioned. Grip the
front handle and place the muffler at the
side away from the body with the cutting
attachment to the rear.
Transporting by vehicle: Properly secure
your cut-off machine to prevent turnover,
fuel spillage and damage to the cut-off
machine. Never transport your cut-off
machine with a cutting wheel mounted.
A wheel damaged during transportation
can cause serious personal injury or
death.
Fuel
Your STIHL cut-off machine uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel. See the
chapter "Fuel" in this instruction manual.
