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:
16
–
when cutting extremely hard
materials, e. g., granite
–
with incorrect handling, e. g.,
excessive feed effort
–
if excessively large cross-sections
are cut without pendulum cutting
(movement back and forth in the
cutting plane)
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
cutting wheel – to do this, briefly cut
through abrasive material such as
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 cutting wheel. Do not
continue to use the cutting wheel – Risk
of accident!
Assembling the bearing
and guard
The "bearing with guard" is mounted on
the inboard side of the cast arm by the
manufacturer.
The "bearing with guard" can also be
mounted on the outboard side
depending on requirements.
Assembly on the inboard side is
recommended for freehand cutting on
account of the better balance; outboard
mounting is recommended when the
machine is mounted on a STIHL cut-off
machine cart.
Versions
There are two different deflector
versions (A, B) for the TS 700.
For the TS 800 there is only the
version B.
