5 Sample Applications
If fumes or smoke are anticipated (e.g., when
cutting composite materials), wear respiratory
protection.
5.3.2 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 operat‐
ing speed for approx. 3 to 6 seconds without
water in order to spin off the water remaining on
it.
5.4 Observe with diamond and
composite resin abrasive cut‐
ting wheels
5.4.1 Objects to be cut
– Must be fully supported
– Must be secured so they cannot roll or slip off
– Must be prevented from vibrating
5.4.2 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.

5.5 Cut in several passes
► Mark cutting line (A)
► Work along the cutting line. When making cor‐
rections, do not tilt the abrasive cutting wheel,
but always set the abrasive cutting wheel
against the workpiece anew – the cutting
depth for each operation should not exceed
2 cm. Cut thicker material in multiple passes
5.6 Cutting plates
► Secure the plate (e. g. on a non-slip surface,
sandbed)
► Cut a guide groove (A) along the line marked
