It can be used for either wet or dry cutting operations. Being of small construction, it can be transported in a car or van. The water container is enclosed in the frame. All component parts on the CS1 are assembled to a high quality standard, ensuring long life, reliability and a minimum of maintenance. Special types of blades are available for asphalt, green concrete, cured concrete (reinforced or not) as well as for industrial cement flooring. 2.2 Layout Made of jig welded open profile steel, the CS1 is stable but at the same time, easily transportable. The one-piece blade guard (1) fully protects the operator and his working environment. It is firmly fixed to the main frame but can be opened by rotation to change blades. A manually operated hand wheel mechanism (2) enables graduated depth setting. Turning the hand wheel clockwise or anti-clockwise will lower or raise the cutting blade.

assembly, and the protecting guards. Four heavy-duty belts drive the blade. The precisely manufactured blade shaft is fitted into two heavy-duty self-aligning pillow block bearings, including grease nipples. A four-belt taper lock pulley is fitted on one end. The shaft is reduced to 25,4mm at the other end, allowing an inner flange complete with dowel pinholes to be fixed. The steel belt guard (4) is bolted to the mainframe of the machine. It is covering the four drive belts and pulleys for protection of the environment while the machine is running. The pointer (5) allows the operator to make precise cut easily. The Honda GX390 engine (6) is connected to an emergency shut down switch (7) on the board of the machine. This allows an immediate stop of the machine in case of danger. The water cooling system (8) is composed of a 70 litres water tank, a water tank tap and two water nozzles on the blade guard ensuring adequate flow of water to both sides of the blade. 2.3 Technical data Engine Honda GX390, 4 strokes, 1 cylinder, 13HP (9,6kW) Fuel Automotive unleaded gasoline Oil Honda 4-Stroke, or equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirement for service classification SG, SF.

Before beginning the work with the CS1, you have to assemble some parts. 3.1 Tool assembly Only use NORTON blades with the CS1. A blade with a maximum diameter of 500 mm can be fitted. All tools used must be selected with regard to their maximum permitted cutting speed for the machine’s maximum permitted rotation speed. Before mounting a new blade, switch the machine off. To mount a new blade, follow these steps: • Turn the wheel until the cutting head is in the raised position. • Loosen the screw maintaining the blade guard with the 19mm wrench, and turn it open. • Loosen the hexagonal nut, which holds the removable outer flange with the 36mm wrench. • Remove the outer flange. • Clean the flanges and blade shaft and inspect for wear. • Mount the blade on the shaft ensuring that direction of rotation is correct. Wrong direction of rotation blunts the blade quickly. • Replace outer blade flange. • Tighten hexagonal nut with spanner supplied for this purpose. • Close the blade guard. The blade bore must correspond exactly to the blade shaft. Cracked or damaged bore is dangerous for the operator and for the machine. 3.2 Water cooling system Fill the water tank with clean water. Open water-tap (note that handle on water-tap should be in line with water-flow). Ensure that water is flowing freely in the circuit and delivered adequately to both sides of the blade, as insufficient water supply may result in premature failure of the diamond blade. In case of frost, empty the water cooling system.

Make sure the blade is raised clear up the ground before starting the machine. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. NOTE: do not use the choke if the engine is warm or the air temperature is high. Move the throttle control lever slightly to the left. Put the engine switch on ON, and make sure the emergency switch on the board of the machine is in the correct position. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. CAUTION: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter. As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the OPEN position. Position the throttle control lever for the maximum engine speed. To stop the engine, move the throttle control lever fully to the right, then turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

Take the following measures in order to transport and store the CS1 securely. 4.1 Securing for transport Before transporting the machine: • Remove the blade. • Empty the water tank. • Raise the guide-a-cut in its upright position. • Raise the cutting frame to its highest position using the handwheel. 4.2 Transport procedure The machine can be moved on a flat surface using its wheels. Use the metal hook located on the board of the machine over the motor to move the machine with a crane. 4.3 Long period of inactivity If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, please take the following measures: • Completely clean the machine. • Loosen the drive belts. • Grease the threaded shaft. • Possibly change the motor oil. • Empty the water system. The storage site must be clean, dry and at a constant temperature.

5.1 Site of work Before you start working, please check the following points: • Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure. • Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit. • Make sure you have a continual adequate view of the working area so you can intervene in the working process at any time. • Keep other staff out of the area, so you can work securely. 5.2 Cutting method In this section, you can find instructions to make a straight cut at the desired depth. 5.2.1 Preparing your cut Before starting the machine, • Draw a line on the floor over the cutting length. • Make sure you have filled the engine tank with fuel, and the water tank with water. No petrol is supplied with the machine. • The engine is shipped with oil. Check oil level before starting. Top up if required. • Make sure you have mounted the correct blade as recommended by the manufacturer depending on the material to be worked, the working procedure (dry or wet cut) to be carried out, and the efficiency required. • Make sure that the flanges securely hold the diamond blade. • Make sure that the blade is not touching the floor before starting. • Roll the machine until the blade is over the line. • Lower the guide-a-cut so it touches the line. 5.2.2 Cutting the floor You can now start the engine. To make your cut, • Turn the depth hand wheel until the blade slightly touches the floor. • Open water valve to control the amount of water required for the type of blade, using 15 to 25l/min for wet and 1-2l/min for dry cutting, dust control. Check for minimum water level regularly. • turn the hand wheel to lower blade into the cut. • Once the required depth of cut is reached, push the machine forward with steady and gentle pressure and follow the line with the pointer. The feed speed must be adjusted depending on the material being cut, and depth of cut. • At the finish of the cut, raise the blade out of the cut by turning the hand wheel, switch off the engine and shut-off the water.

ATTENTION : to perform maintenance on the machine, always switch it off. Always wear a face mask and safety goggles while performing the maintenance of machine. 6.1 Maintenance of the machine To ensure a long-term quality from the cutting with the CS1, please follow the maintenance plan below: Regular service period Perform at every indicated period



After one hour of work Begin of the day During the changing of the tool End of the day Every week After a fault After a damage Visual control (general aspect, watertightness) Whole machine Clean Flange and blade fixing devices Clean Belts tension Control Water hoses and nozzles Clean Depth screw Grease Engine housing Clean Reachable nuts and screws Tighten up Adjustment and replacement of the belts After one hour of work, the belts heat and stretch.

Loose the 2 bolts at the back of the engine-plate and shift the engine by using the screw on the back of the plate to retighten the belts. To replace the belts, move the engine completely down by unscrewing the screw at the back of the engine-plate. Adjust the belts and retighten them using the screw at the back of the engine plate. Always use a matched set of belts. Do not replace single belts. After controlling or retightening the belts, reassemble the belt guard on the frame of the machine. Lubrication The CS1 uses life-lubricated bearings. Therefore, you don’t need to lubricate them at all. Grease the depth screw every day. Cleaning of the machine Your machine will last longer if you clean it thoroughly after each day of work.

Regular service period Perform at every indicated month or operating hour interval, whichever comes first



Each use First month or 20 hours Every 3 months or 50 hours Every 6 months or 100 hours Check level Engine oil Change Check Air cleaner filter Clean Fuel strainer cup Clean Spark plug Check-Clean Fuel line Check (Replace if necessary) Every 2 years Engine oil To change the oil, • Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain bolt. • Allow the oil to drain completely. • Dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you to take used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling centre or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or down in a drain. • Reinstall the drain bolt, and tighten it to 18 N.m. • Fill the crankcase with the engine oil to the outer edge of the oil filler neck. • Reinstall the filler cap/dipstick.

To service the air cleaner filter, follow these instructions: • Remove the nut, air cleaner cover and wing nut. • Remove the pre air cleaner elements and separate them. • Carefully check both elements for holes or tears and replace if damaged. • Paper element: tap element lightly several times on a hard surface to remove excess dirt or blow compressed air lightly through the filter from the inside out. Never brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into the fibres. • Foam element: clean in warm soapy water, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly. Dip the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out all the excess. The engine will smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left in the foam. • Shine a light through the elements, and inspect them carefully. Reinstall the elements if they are free of holes and tears. Fuel strainer cup To service fuel strainer cup, follow these instructions: • Turn off the fuel valve and remove the strainer cup. • Clean the strainer cup with solvent. • Install the O-ring and strainer cup. • Tighten the strainer cup to 4N.m.
