Anyone else got one of these? For occasional use I love it. But I’ve spotted there’s now one with water kit (yes on a 240v tool) - just wondered if anyone knows whether the water kit can be retro fitted or whether you need to buy the whole thing? I suspect it’s the latter as it’s over twice the price. Game changer though if you can’t stretch to a petrol stihl…

This any good ? ......
I’m more talking about the attachment at the saw end. Not seen it available as a separate part so far.

ok.... you may just need to drill a hole in the guard to fit this but easily done. Others are available if not the best for you.

Cheers. I’ve just realised mines only a 230mm and the water fed ones are 300mm so a totally different beast. retro fitting a water kit to a 240v tool that wasn’t designed for it probably isn’t a wise idea, although I guess I could wear rubber gloves 
At the risk of asking a silly question, are you worried about getting electrocuted? I’m tempted to do the same or even modify mine to take a water feed. But no idea how these things work in terms of insulation between blade area and 240v !
It's all about control of the water and i never use more than a trickle. The electrics and motor are at the back of the machine and unless you are reckless with the hosepipe it works fine. I would add that i personally am happy to do it that way but if you have any doubts then think carefully before you commit.
Bought that exact kit, fitted it easily by drilling the guard both sides and it works a treat.ok.... you may just need to drill a hole in the guard to fit this but easily done. Others are available if not the best for you.

The r300dct+ is the water fed model. It has various extra features to make it waterproof - most importantly a circuit breaker. I have one, very good tool.
I also have the non water model, which is bought previously.
Very different tools, I would not use my first one with water.

That was my original concern/question. Guess I may need to rethink then.
Sorry, I’d only just seen the thread tonight to reply.
The water model churns out a lot of water to make the dust suppression successful.
Ive seen others use hand sprayers or a damp sponge to cool the blade/surface with other cutters/grinders even if they are electric, generally when cutting something very hard.
Personally I wouldn’t risk it either way with a normal electric cutter, but yeah the water version is a bit expensive if you’ve not got much use for it.
I still tend to use my old electric (non-water) one for quick cuts and/or where dust doesn’t matter.
We tend to do awkward cuts on a dampened lawn. Call it 'slit tining' .
All good points. Before this, I did fit the gizmo to spray a fine jet onto the blade, put my thick gloves on and it worked a treat, exactly as you’d want. Part of me is thinking this approach combined with an extra RCD on the plug is ok. But the other part of me is saying taking any risk for the sake of spending £300 isn’t worth it. I just need to talk myself out of being a tight ar$e and do the right thing I guess.
