snugly onto spark plug terminal of the 
proper size. (Note: If terminal has a 
detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be 
attached.) A loose connection between 
spark plug terminal and ignition wire 
connector in the boot may create arcing 
that could ignite combustible fumes and 
cause a fire. Keep spark plug clean, and 
make sure ignition lead is in good 
condition.
WARNING
Do not operate your cut-off machine if 
the muffler is damaged, missing or 
modified. An improperly maintained 
muffler will increase the risk of fire and 
hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler 
or spill fuel or other flammable liquid 
over it. Burn injuries or fire will result. If 
your muffler was equipped with a spark-
arresting screen to reduce the risk of fire 
(e. g. in the USA, Canada and 
Australia), never operate your cut-off 
machine if the screen is missing or 
damaged.
In California, it is a violation of § 4442 or 
§ 4443 of the Public Resources Code to 
use or operate gasoline-powered tools 
on forest-covered, brush-covered or 
grass-covered land unless the engine’s 
exhaust system is equipped with a 
complying spark arrester that is 
maintained in effective working order. 
The owner/operator of this product is 
responsible for properly maintaining the 
spark arrester. Other states or 
governmental entities/agencies, such as 
the U.S. Forest Service, may have 
similar requirements. Contact your local 
fire agency or forest service for the laws 
or regulations relating to fire protection 
requirements.
For any maintenance please refer to the 
maintenance chart and to the warranty 
statement near the end of the instruction 
manual.
Store wheels on a flat surface in a dry 
place, preferably at a constant 
temperature, where there is not a risk of 
frost. Do not store a cut-off machine with 
a wheel mounted on the machine. Store 
cut-off machine in a high or locked 
place, away from children.
Empty the fuel tank before storing for 
longer than a few days. Store fuel only in 
correctly labeled and approved 
containers. Avoid direct skin contact and 
do not inhale the gas vapors.
Water connection
– A water attachment kit is mounted 
on the machine for use with all types 
of water supply.
– A pressurized 2.6 gallons (10 liter) 
water tank is available from STIHL 
for wet cutting.
– A water tank for mounting on the 
Cutquik cart is also available for wet 
cutting.
Most diamond cutting wheels are 
suitable for wet cutting
Wet cut whenever feasible. It increases 
the service life and cutting speed of 
diamond cutting wheels.
Ensure that the cutting wheel is 
generously supplied with water.
Wet cutting helps to suppress dust.
The water binds the dust.
The cutting wheel must be supplied with 
at least 20 fl. oz (0.6 liters) water per 
minute.
Wet cutting can reduce the energy of 
reactive forces. In a pinch situation, the 
water can act as a lubricant.
