Cutting wheels
Cutting wheels are exposed to
extremely high loads especially during
freehand cutting.
The cutting wheels, which have been
developed by STIHL in cooperation with
renowned manufacturers of abrasive
wheels, are of high quality and tailored
precisely to the respective intended use
as well as the engine performance of the
cut-off machine.
They are of consistently outstanding
quality.

–
direct sunshine or other thermal

–
surface in the original packaging in
a dry place where the temperature
is as constant as possible
Do not store cutting wheels in the
