STIHL cut-off machines may be 
equipped with an electronic water 
control system.
The electronic water control makes it 
possible to feed the optimum amount of 
water to the abrasive wheel. No water is 
fed to the abrasive wheel during idling.
Before starting work
N Familiarize yourself with the 
sequence of motions while the 
engine is switched off
N All of the control panel buttons can 
be operated with the thumb of the 
right hand – the right hand always 
remains on the rear handle while 
doing so
N The left hand always remains on the 
handlebar

When the engine is running, it is 
possible to activate / deactivate the 
electronic water control and adjust the 
water flow.
1 Button(+):
activate the electronic water control 
or increase water flow to abrasive 
wheel
2 Button(–):
activate the electronic water control 
or decrease water flow to abrasive 
wheel
3 Deactivate electronic water control; 
no water is fed to the abrasive wheel
Using the electronic water control
N Start engine, see 
"Starting/Stopping the Engine"
N Tap on the(+) button or(–) button 
with the thumb of the right hand – 
the right hand always remains on 
the rear handle while doing so, the 
left hand always remains on the 
handlebar – no water is fed to the 
abrasive wheel yet during idling
During use, the set amount of water is 
fed to the abrasive wheel.
N Adjust water flow if necessary – to 
do so, tap on the (+) button or (–) 
button with the thumb of the right 
hand until the correct water quantity 
is attained – the right hand always 
remains on the rear handle while 
doing so, the left hand always 
remains on the handlebar
If the cut-off machine is idling after use, 
no more water will be fed to the abrasive 
wheel – the electronic water control, 
however, remains activated. With 
continued use, the last quantity of water 
set will be fed to the abrasive wheel 
again automatically.
If the engine is stopped and restarted, 
the electronic water control is switched 
off.
For installation on the STIHL FW 20 cut-
off machine cart
If the cut-off machine is mounted on the 
STIHL FW 20 cut-off machine cart in 
combination with the water tank, feed 
the maximum amount of water.
Maintenance and care
If too little water or no water is fed to the 
abrasive wheel during use although the 
electronic water control has been 
activated:
N Remove the coupling sleeve(1)
N Unscrew "water connection with 
screen"(2) and rinse under running 
water – the screen remains on the 
water connection
