Stihl TS 400 Cutquik F.A.Q.

What is the correct fuel mix ratio for a Stihl TS 400 Cutquik?

The correct fuel mix ratio for the Stihl TS 400 Cutquik is 50:1, which means 50 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-stroke engine oil. Use high-quality 2-stroke oil to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

How can I troubleshoot the Stihl TS 400 if it won't start?

First, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the spark plug for wear and replace if necessary. Clean or replace the air filter if it's dirty. Also, check the decompression valve for proper operation.

What maintenance should be performed regularly on the Stihl TS 400?

Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting and replacing the spark plug as needed, checking and adjusting the drive belt tension, and cleaning the cooling fins. Additionally, ensure the water supply is functioning properly.

How do I replace the cutting wheel on a Stihl TS 400 Cutquik?

To replace the cutting wheel, first ensure the machine is turned off and the spark plug is disconnected for safety. Use the included wrench to remove the central bolt securing the wheel. Remove the old wheel and replace it with the new one, ensuring it's properly seated before tightening the bolt.

Why is my Stihl TS 400 overheating during operation?

Overheating can be caused by a dirty air filter, clogged cooling fins, or insufficient water supply for dust suppression. Check these components and clean or replace them as needed. Ensure the water supply is functioning to keep dust down and the saw cool.

What type of cutting wheel should I use with the Stihl TS 400 for concrete?

For cutting concrete, use a diamond abrasive wheel specifically designed for masonry. Ensure the wheel is rated for the RPM of the TS 400 and is appropriate for the type of concrete being cut.

How do I adjust the drive belt tension on the Stihl TS 400?

To adjust the drive belt tension, locate the tensioning nut and turn it clockwise to increase tension or counterclockwise to decrease it. Proper tension is achieved when the belt deflects about 3-5 mm with moderate pressure. Ensure the machine is off and the spark plug is disconnected before making adjustments.

Can I use the Stihl TS 400 for wet cutting, and if so, how?

Yes, the Stihl TS 400 can be used for wet cutting. Connect a water supply to the attachment point on the saw to provide a continuous flow of water. This helps suppress dust and keep the cutting wheel cool. Ensure the water flow is adequate before starting the cut.

Why is my Stihl TS 400 losing power during use?

Loss of power can result from a clogged air filter, a dirty fuel filter, or a worn spark plug. Clean or replace these components as necessary. Also, check the exhaust for blockages and ensure the fuel mix is correct and fresh.

How often should I replace the spark plug on my Stihl TS 400?

The spark plug should be inspected regularly and replaced every 100 operating hours or sooner if it shows signs of wear or damage. Use only the recommended spark plug type to ensure proper operation.
