Stihl TS 410 A EWC STIHL Cutquik Product Instruction Manual - Page 18

English 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 wheels can be used for dry cutting of metals or for wet or dry cutting of concrete, stone or masonry. Composite resin wheels designed for dry cutting Special procedures must be followed when wet cutting with a composite nondiamond wheel designed for dry cutting. See the section entitled "Wet Cutting with Abrasive Wheels" in the safety precautions of this manual. Wet cutting is generally not suitable for cutting metals. Composite resin wheels designed for wet cutting Adjust water flow rate during cutting so it is sufficient to bind all the dust that occurs (at least 0.6 L/min). If the water flow rate is too high, the cutting wheel may skim on the water surface in the cut and greatly reduce cutting performance. To avoid this, do not exceed a water flow rate of about 4 L/min. Use water properly: 1. Be certain water is applied to both sides of wheel, since uneven distribution can cause one sided wear with possible wheel breakage. 2. Make certain water does not flow on wheel that is not running, since the wheel will absorb water and that will affect wheel balance. 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! When wet cutting at the recommended flow rate is not utilized, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut. Even if wet cutting, an operator who is actively cutting for more than two hours a day should wear at least a NIOSH-approved disposable respirator. 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. 16 TS 410, TS 420
