The Bench Saw CTS•81 (fig. 1.1) is a professio-
nal multi-purpose saw that can be used for cutting
floor tiles, paving stones, stairs, larged-sized na-
tural stone plates, and similar materials.
The Bench Saw is characterized by its sophistica-
ted, practice-oriented design:
• The workpiece rests on the rubber-coated anti-
skid work table while the swivel-joint cutting
head is pulled along a guide rail during the cut-
ting operation.
• A limit stop and an adjustable side stop ensure
the precise alignment of the workpiece.
• The work table hanging in the frame can be re-
moved easily for cleaning or transporting the
saw.
• A 20-litre bucket hanging below the frame col-
lects the cooling water used during the cutting
operation. This allows the contaminated coo-
ling water to be replaced quickly and easily.
• A wet-pit pump conveys the cooling water
from the bucket direct to the saw blade. It is al-
so possible to put the pump into the water trou-
gh.

ly be carried out by electricians or trained staff
under the direction and supervision of an electri-
cian in accordance with the local electrical engi-
neering regulations.
For use on a construction site, the equipment
must be connected to the power supply in accor-
dance with DIN VDE 0100, § 55a.
The power outlet must be protected by an (FI or
DI) fault current breaker.
All electrical connections must be free of moistu-
re.

• Push the red button (fig. 3.7) to stop the saw.
• While the saw is operating, the buttons are co-
vered by the flap (fig. 3.6). This allows the ope-
rator to quickly stop the saw by pushing the
emergency stop button in the event that a dan-
ger or fault condition occurs. To unlock the red
emergency stop button, push the button up-
wards until the lid springs open.
3.4 The wet-pit- (water-) pump
The electrical wet-pit- (water-) pump, which con-
veys the cooling water through hoses to the saw
blade, can be put into the bucket (fig. 3.8) or into
the water trough.
Fig. 3.8 Wet-pit- (water-) pump in the bucket hanging
below the frame
If you want the mud produced during the cutting
operation to be collected in the water trough in-
stead of the bucket, you may use the overflow
pipe that comes with the machine.
When putting the pump into the water trough, be
sure to plug the drain hole (fig. 3.9).
Fig. 3.9 Drain hole in the water trough (with plug)
The case of the wet-pit pump is sealed hermeti-
cally. It will not be possible to perform any re-
pairs on the components of the pump. The pump
is provided with a screen which serves to filter
out coarse dirt particles from the water. For in-
structions on how to clean the pump, please refer
to sect. 5.4.
Attention:
Never allow the wet-pit pump to run dry!
The electrical wet-pit pump must never run dry,
as this would cause the overheating and destruc-
tion of the pump. Make sure that the pump will al-
ways be covered with water. Refill the bucket or
water trough in due time to ensure that the pump
will not run dry.
Attention: Prevent the cooling system
from freezing!
To prevent the wet-pit pump and cooling system
from freezing, drain the water after each use and
- in case of hard frost - even before longer
breaks.
3.5 The blade drive motor
The windings of the blade drive motor are provi-
ded with temperature sensors which turn off the
motor in case of overload or overheating conditi-
ons. After the blade drive motor has been allowed
to cool for a short period of time, the Bench Saw
can be restarted.
The repeated triggering of the thermal protection
may be due to the following reasons:
• Problem: Cutting pressure too high.
Remedy: Reduce the cutting pressure.
• Problem: Wrong saw blade type.
Remedy: Use the correct saw blade that is sui-
table for the material to be cut.

3.6 Saw blade
3.6.1 Choosing the right type of saw blade
Attention:
Use only approved saw blades!
The blade shaft speed of the Bench Saw is exclu-
sively designed for cutting with diamond saw bla-
des. The Bench Saw may only be used for cutting
natural and artificial stone materials! Never use
the saw blades for cutting wood or metal.
The Bench Saws CTS•81 / CTS•81 L are designed
for the use of diamond saw blades with diameters
ranging from 350-400 mm. The CTS•81 XL is de-
signed for saw blade diameters not exceeding
350 mm. Saw blades with larger diameters must
not be installed on the Bench Saw.
The blade shaft speed of the Bench Saw is inten-
ded to provide optimum conditions for cutting
with
CEDIMA
®diamond saw blades.
Choose the correct type of saw blade for the ma-
terial to be cut and the required cutting depth.
(Ask
CEDIMA
®customer service for detailed
information on the right type.)
Note:
No guarantee in case of incorrect use!
Where
CEDIMA
®diamond saw blades have be-
en used incorrectly, the guarantee becomes inva-
lid. Complaints concerning diamond saw blades
can only be entertained if at least 20% of the
height of the diamond segments remains.
Note:
Resharpen blunt saw blades!
Diamond saw blades are designed to be self-
sharpening in operation. However, they can be-
come blunt through frequent cutting in hard ma-
terial that is only slightly abrasive. Blades can be
resharpened by cutting in an abrasive material
such as chalky sandstone.
3.6.2 Installing the saw blade
To install the saw blade, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the knurled nuts (fig. 3.10) securing
the blade guard and remove the guard.

2. Loosen the cutting shaft nut from the blade
clamping flange using the open-jawed span-
ner and mandrel that come with the machine
(left-hand thread!)
3. Remove the blade clamping flange (fig.
3.11).

Attention: Check the blade holder and
saw blade for proper condition!
The contact area between the blade holder as-
sembly and the diamond saw blade must be kept
in a clean condition to ensure that the blade can
be mounted properly.
Never use damaged or untrue saw blades or bla-
des with missing diamond segments.
4. Install the diamond saw blade on the suppor-
ting flange, ensuring the correct sense of ro-
tation (fig. 3.12). The sense of rotation of the
cutting shaft is marked by an arrow on the
blade guard (fig. 3.13).

Sense-of-rota-
tion arrow
Fig. 3.13 Sense-of-rotation arrow on the blade guard
Sense-of-rotati-
on arrow
Note:
Determine the correct sense of rotation!
If the arrow on the diamond saw blade is not visi-
ble, the cutting direction of the saw blade can be
determined in the following way: a “tail” forms
behind each diamond particle during cutting and
the diamond particle is always at the front in re-
lation to the direction of rotation (fig. 3.14).

3.7 The depth stop
Attention:
Set the depth stop to 3 mm!
Before the cutting operation is initiated, the depth
stop must be set in such a way that the diamond
saw blade penetrates approx. 3 mm into the table
(measured from the top face of the table, see fig.
3.16), in order to prevent damage to the table or
saw blade during operation.

2. Lower the cutting head to the desired depth
setting and re-tighten the palm grip.
3. Use the setting screw and locknut (fig. 3.17)
to secure the depth stop.
3.8 Mitre cuts adjuster
The Bench Saw CTS•81 is equipped with a
hinged guide rail (fig. 3.18) that allows the user
to make accurate mitre cuts (angled cuts).
