STIHL diamond abrasive wheels are suitable,
depending on the version, for cutting the follo‐
wing materials:
–
Asphalt
–
Concrete
–
Stone (hard stone)
–
Abrasive concrete
–
Fresh concrete
–
Clay brick

Never use diamond abrasive wheels with side
plating as they jam in the cut and can result in
extreme kickback – Risk of accident!

Product Codes
The product code is a combination of letters and
numbers, consisting of up to four characters:
–
the letters denote the main field of application
of the abrasive wheel
–
the numbers denote the performance class of
the STIHL diamond abrasive wheel
8.2
Axial and radial run-out
A faultless spindle bearing of the cut-off machine
is necessary for a long service life and efficient
functioning of the diamond abrasive wheel.
Using the abrasive wheel on a cut-off machine
with a faulty spindle bearing can lead to devia‐
tions in radial and axial run-out.
An excessively high radial run-out deviation (A)
overloads individual diamond segments, which
overheat in the process. This can lead to stress
cracks in the parent wheel or to annealing of indi‐
vidual segments.
Deviations in axial run-out (B) result in higher
thermal loading and wider cuts.

Troubleshooting
8.3.1
Abrasive wheel
Defects
Cause
Remedy
ragged edges or cut surfaces,
crooked cut
Deviation in radial or axial run-out Contact a servicing dealer
1)
heavy wear on the sides of the
segments
Abrasive wheel gyrates
use a new abrasive wheel
ragged edges, crooked cut, no
cutting performance, generation
of sparks
Abrasive wheel is dull; built-up
edges with abrasive wheels for
stone
Sharpen abrasive wheels for
stone by briefly cutting through
abrasive materials; replace
