Values determined according to procedure described in annex F of EN 13862
Measurements are made with new machines. Real values in the field could vary the simple
one with the double according to operating conditions, depending on:
oMaterial
oCutting depth
oMachine wear
oLack of maintenance
oTool not adapted to application
oTool in bad shape
oNon-specialised operator
Vibrations exposure time depends on cutting performance too
(adaptation machine / tool / material / operator)
When evaluating risks due to hand-arm vibration, you need to take into account effective
usage at rated power of machine during a full day of work; quite often you will realise that
effective utilisation time represents around 50% of overall duration of work. You have to
consider, of course,breaks, waterfeeding, preparation of work,timetomove the machine,
disk mounting…

3 ASSEMBLY AND COMMISSIONING
Before beginning the work with the CS1-500, you have to assemble some parts.
3.1 Tool assembly
Only use NORTON blades with the CS1-500.
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.

VERS.2022.10.20 CS1-500_MAN_EN

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

4.2.1 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.
4.2.2 Cutting the floor
You can now start the engine.
To make your cut,
You can now start the engine. To make your cut,
Turn on the water tap according to the type of blade used and the cut required:
oWater cutting: a sufficient amount of water should be used continuously throughout
the cutting process to cool the disc properly.
oDry cutting: if possible, a small amount of water should be used to limit the creation of
dust.
Turn the depth hand wheel until the blade slightly touches the floor.
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
