If a cut-off machine cart is used, sweep
debris from the path of the wheel as
debris may cause flexing of the abrasive
wheel. This could result in high frictional
forces and thus greatly reduce the
engine power available for the actual
cutting work.
Always use the cart to cut in a straight
line.
Wet Cutting with Abrasive Wheels
Before wet cutting, make sure water will
not damage floor or building.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of electrocution to you
or bystanders, do not allow water or
sludge to contact live electric wires.
When wet cutting with a composite non
diamond wheel:
1.
Make certain water does not flow on
wheel that is not running, since the
wheel will absorb water and that will
affect wheel balance.
TS 460
2.
Shut water off before wheel stops so
that excess water will be dissipated.
3.
Be certain water is applied to both
sides of wheel, since uneven
distribution can cause "one sided"
wear with possible wheel breakage.
4.
Use these wheels up the same day.
Do not store and reuse a wheel that
has been used with water.
Important Adjustments
At correct idle speed, wheel should not
turn. For directions to adjust idle speed,
see the appropriate section of your
Owner's Manual.
Do not use a cut-off machine with
incorrect idle speed adjustment. The
rotating wheel may cause injury.
Have your STIHL dealer check your cut-
off machine and make proper
adjustments or repairs.
English / USA
Never touch a rotating wheel with your
hand or any part of your body.
Reactive Forces
!
Warning!
Reactive forces may occur at any time
the cutting wheel on a cut-off machine is
rotating. If the wheel is slowed or
stopped by frictional contact with any
solid object or by a pinch, reactive forces
may occur instantly and with great force.
These reactive forces may result in the
operator losing control of the cut-off
machine, which may, in turn, result in
serious or fatal injury.
An understanding of the causes of these
reactive forces may help you avoid loss
of control. Reactive forces are exerted in
a direction opposite to the direction in
which the wheel is moving at the point of
contact or pinch.
