English Electronic water control STIHL cut-off machines may be equipped with an electronic water control system. The electronic water control makes it possible to feed the optimum amount 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 N Familiarize yourself with the control panel and sequence of motions while the engine is switched off. N All of the control panel buttons can be reached with the thumb of the right hand while the right hand remains on the rear handle. N The left hand always remains on the handlebar. Control Panel When the engine is running, it is possible to activate/deactivate the electronic water control and adjust the water flow. 1307BA001 KN 370BA085 KN 1 3 2 1 Button (+): activates the electronic water control or increases water flow to cutting wheel. 2 Button (-): activates the electronic water control or decreases water flow to cutting wheel. 3 Deactivates electronic water control; no water is fed to the cutting wheel. Using the Electronic Water Control N Start engine: see the chapter "Starting/Stopping the Engine." N Briefly push the (+) button or (-) button with the thumb of the right hand. The right hand must always remain on the rear handle while doing so; the left hand must always remain on the handlebar. No water is fed to the cutting wheel during idling. During use, the set amount of water is fed to the cutting wheel. N Adjust water flow if necessary - to do so, briefly push the (+) button or (-) button with the thumb of the right hand until the correct water quantity is attained at one of the settings. The right hand must always remain on the rear handle while doing so; the left hand must always remain on the handlebar. The water pressure will affect the actual amount of water flow at any setting. It may be necessary to use a higher setting with a lower water pressure, e.g., when using a pressurized or gravity water tank. For proper dust suppression and cutting performance, always make sure that the water flow is within the proper range, as described in the chapter "Sample Applications." If the cut-off machine is idling after use, no more water will be fed to the cutting wheel - the electronic water control, however, remains activated. With continued use, the last setting will be automatically re-entered. If the engine is stopped and restarted, the electronic water control is switched off. Maintenance and Care If too little water or no water is fed to the cutting wheel during use although the electronic water control has been activated: 24 TS 480i, TS 500i
