Electronic Water Control

This machine is equipped with an
electronic water control system.
The electronic water control makes it
possible to feed variable amounts of
water to the cutting wheel. No water is
fed to the cutting wheel during idling or
when the machine is turned off.
Before starting work
While the engine is shut off,
N
familiarize yourself with the control
panel for the water control system
and the sequence of motions
needed to operate it.
All control panel buttons can be
N
reached with the thumb of the right
hand while the right hand remains
on the rear handle.
The left hand must always remain
N
on the front handle. Failure to do so
may result in loss of control and
severe personal injury or death of
the operator or bystanders.
Control panel
When the engine is running, the
operator can activate/deactivate the
electronic water control and adjust the
water flow.
