Working safely with cut-off machines

English

8

Working with the cut-off machine

Do not stand in line with the cutting 
wheel.

Do not lean too far forwards and never 
bend over the cutting wheel, especially 
when the deflector has been pulled 
back.

Don’t cut above shoulder height.

The cut-off machine may only be used 
for cutting. It must not be used as a lever 
or shovel.

Do not press down on the cut-off 
machine.

Always decide the cutting direction 
before positioning the cutting wheel. 
After that, do not change the cutting 
direction. Avoid knocks and bumps with 

the machine while in the cut – do not 
drop the machine into the cut – 

danger 

of breakage!

Diamond cutting wheels: If cutting 
performance begins to deteriorate, 
check the sharpness of the diamond 
cutting wheel, resharpen as needed. To 
do this, briefly cut through abrasive 
material, e. g., sandstone, aerated 
concrete or asphalt.

At the end of the cut, the cut-off machine 
is no longer supported by the cutting 
wheel in the cut. The machine's weight 
must be borne by the user, otherwise 
you 

may lose control of the machine!

Keep water and sludge away from 
electric cables - 

risk of electric shocks!

To obtain a clean cut: the cutting wheel 
should be pulled into the workpiece if 
possible or moved back and forth in 
cutting direction.  It must never be 
pushed.

Work with water and wet cutting when 
using diamond cutting wheels – e. g., 
use STIHL water attachment.

Depending on version, composite resin 
cutting wheels are suitable for dry 
cutting or wet cutting only.

Work with water and wet cutting when 
using composite resin cutting wheels 
that are suitable only for wet cutting – 
e. g., use STIHL water attachment.

Use dry cutting when using composite 
resin cutting wheels that are suitable 
only for dry cutting. If composite resin 

cutting wheels of this type become wet, 
their cutting performance is reduced and 
they become dull. If composite resin 
cutting wheels of this type become wet 
while working (e. g., due to puddles or 
water in pipes), do not increase the 
cutting pressure, but continue working 
with the same pressure – 

risk of 

breakage!

 Wet composite resin cutting 

wheels must be used up immediately.

Cut-off machine cart

Clear a path for the cart. If the cart is 
pushed over objects, the cutting wheel 
may become wedged in the cut and 

shatter

!

Vibrations

Prolonged use of the power tool may 
result in vibration-induced circulation 
problems in the hands ("white finger 
disease").

No general recommendation can be 
given for the length of usage because it 
depends on several factors.

The period of usage is prolonged by:

Hand protection (wearing warm 
gloves)

Work breaks

The period of usage is shortened by:

Any personal tendency to suffer 
from poor circulation (symptoms: 
frequently cold fingers, tingling 
sensation)

Low outside temperatures

Amount of gripping force (holding 
the power tool tightly restricts 
circulation)

The cutting wheel must 
be guided straight in the 
cut, without wedging. 
Never exert lateral pres-
sure on the cutting wheel.

Do not use the cutting 
wheel for lateral grinding 
or scrubbing.

When cutting steel: glow-
ing metal particles 

may 

cause fires!
