Sample Applications

Water attachment
Water attachment on the cut-off
–
machine for all types of water
supplies
Pressurized water tank 10 l for
–
binding dust
Use clean water for binding dust.
Water must always be used for wet
cutting when working with diamond
abrasive cutting wheels
Extend service life and increase cutting
speed
Always ensure a supply of water to the
abrasive cutting wheel.
Binding dust
The abrasive cutting wheel must be
supplied with at least 0.6 liters of water
per minute.
Use composite resin abrasive cutting
wheels with or without water –
depending on version
Depending on the version, resin
abrasive cutting wheels are suitable only
for dry cutting or only for wet cutting.
Composite resin abrasive cutting wheels
suitable only for dry cutting
During dry cutting, wear a suitable dust
mask.
TSA 230
If fumes or smoke are anticipated (e.g.,
when cutting composite materials), wear
respiratory protection.
Composite resin abrasive cutting wheels
suitable only for wet cutting
Use abrasive cutting
wheel only with water.
To bind dust, the abrasive cutting wheel
must be supplied with at least 1 liter of
water per minute. To avoid a reduction in
cutting performance, the abrasive
cutting wheel must be supplied with not
more than 4 liters of water per minute.
After using the abrasive cutting wheel,
the wheel should be allowed to continue
spinning at operating speed for
approx. 3 to 6 seconds without water in
order to spin off the water remaining on
it.
Observe with diamond and composite
resin abrasive cutting wheels
Objects to be cut
Must be fully supported
–
Must be secured so they cannot roll
–
or slip off
Must be prevented from vibrating
–
Severed parts
With openings, recesses, etc., the
sequence of the cuts is important.
Always make the last cut so that the
abrasive cutting wheel does not become
jammed and so that the operator is not
endangered by the severed or
separated part.
If necessary, leave small ridges that hold
the part that is to be separated in
position. Break these ridges later.
Before finally separating the part,
determine:
how heavy the part is
–
how it can move after separation
–
whether it is under tension
–
When breaking out the part, do not
endanger assistants.
Cut in several passes
Mark cutting line (A)
N
A
Work along the cutting line. When
N
making corrections, do not tilt the
abrasive cutting wheel, but always
set the abrasive cutting wheel
