Wet Cutting with Diamond Cutting
Wheels
STIHL diamond cutting wheels are
suitable for wet cutting.
Wet cut whenever feasible. It increases
the service life of diamond wheels,
reduces reactive forces and will help
control dust.
The cutting wheel must be supplied with
at least 20 fl. oz. (0.6 liters) of water per
minute for proper dust suppression. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
respiratory disease or other illness when
this flow rate cannot be achieved,
maintained or confirmed, the operator
and any bystanders should always wear
a NIOSH-approved respirator that is
rated for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions. The respirator must have an
Assigned Protection Factor sufficient to
provide the level of respiratory
protection needed for the material being
cut and worksite-specific conditions.
Even if wet cutting at the recommended
flow rate, an operator who is working
with the machine for more than two
hours in one day, along with any
bystanders, should always wear a
NIOSH-approved respirator that is rated
for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions.
Consult your employer for information
regarding the material you are cutting
and your worksite conditions. Your
employer is likely to have in place an
OSHA-required respiratory protection
program and can provide information
regarding the type and level of
respiratory protection needed for your
worksite. Information is also available
from OSHA at www.OSHA.gov.
Before wet cutting, make sure water will
not damage the floor, building or other
property, the material being cut or any
surrounding objects. Make sure that
"run-off" will not cause any type of
environmental damage or come into
contact with electrical sources.
WARNING
STIHL recommends the use of only
STIHL-branded cutting wheels on your
cut-off machine. Use of non-STIHL
cutting wheels may be extremely
dangerous. See the chapter "Reducing
the Risk of Kickback Injury" in this
instruction manual.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution to you
or bystanders, do not allow water or
sludge to contact live electric wires or
other electrical power sources.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from wheel
breakage, never use water with a
composite wheel that is not specifically
designed for wet cutting.
