English / USA 1. Stone Also can be used for concrete, masonry, reinforced concrete and brick cutting. 2. Steel Can be used for all ferrous metal cutting. 3. Asphalt Also can be used for aggregate concrete cutting. 4. Ductile iron Also can be used for certain grades of cast iron (SG 17-24), bronze and copper cutting. For cutting composite materials please ask your STIHL dealer. Diamond Abrasive Wheels Diamond abrasive wheels have a much better cutting performance than composite abrasive wheels. The diamond wheels are steel centered, and diamond particles are imbedded in their cutting edges. They can be used for concrete, asphalt, natural stone, clay pipe, brick and the like. They are not normally suitable for cutting metal or other materials. Wet or dry cutting is possible. With wet cutting your diamond wheel will have a longer life. Water attachments are included with your STIHL cut-off machine. See the appropriate section of your instruction manual. !Warning! Do not remount a used diamond abrasive wheel without first inspecting for under-cutting, flatness, core fatigue, segment damage or loss, signs of overheating (discoloration) and possible arbor hole damage. Check the wheel for cracks and make sure that no pieces have broken off the wheel before use. Always fit the wheel so that the arrow on the wheel points in the direction of the rotation of the spindle. THE USE OF THE CUT-OFF MACHINE Transporting the STIHL Cutquik !Warning! Always stop the engine before putting a cut-off machine down or carrying it. The abrasive wheel continues to rotate for a short while after the throttle trigger is released (flywheel effect). Carrying a cut-off machine with the engine running is extremely dangerous. Accidental acceleration of the engine can cause the wheel to rotate. Avoid touching the hot muffler. By hand: When carrying your cut-off machine by hand, the engine must be stopped and the cut-off machine must be in the proper position. Grip the front handle and place the muffler at the side away from the body. !Warning! Always protect the cutting wheel from hitting the ground or any other objects. Damaged wheels may shatter and cause serious or fatal injury. TS 460 7
