Electronic Water Control - Stihl TS 410 Instruction Manual

Undercut
Do not cut into the base course
(frequently chipped stones and gravel)
when cutting roadway pavement –
cutting in chipped stones and gravel is
revealed by light-colored dust –
excessive undercut may occur as a
result – Danger of shattering!
Built-up edges, sharpen
Built-up edges take the form of a light
gray deposit on the tops of the diamond
segments. This deposit on the segments
clogs the diamonds and blunts the
segments.
Built-up edges can form:
when cutting extremely hard
–
materials, e. g., granite
with incorrect handling, e. g.,
–
excessive feed effort
TS 410, TS 420
Built-up edges increase vibration,
reduce cutting performance, and cause
formation of sparks.
At the first signs of built-up edges,
immediately "sharpen" the diamond
abrasive wheel – to do this, briefly cut
through abrasive material such as e. g.
sandstone, aerated concrete or asphalt.
Addition of water prevents the formation
of built-up edges.
If work continues with dull segments,
these may soften due to the high heat
generated – the parent wheel is
annealed and its strength is
compromised – this can lead to stresses
that are clearly recognizable by
gyrations of the abrasive wheel. Do not
continue to use the abrasive wheel –
Risk of accident!

Electronic water control

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
Familiarize yourself with the
N
sequence of motions while the
engine is switched off
All of the control panel buttons can
N
be operated 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
N
handlebar
Control panel
When the engine is running, it is
possible to activate / deactivate the
electronic water control and adjust the
water flow.
