1.3 Safety instructions for particular operating phases
Before commencing work
Before commencing work, make yourself familiar with the working environment at the place
of use. The working environment includes: obstacles in the area of work and manoeuvre, the
firmness of the floor, necessary protection at the site relating to public thoroughfares and the
availability of help in the event of accidents.
Check for correct mounting of the blade regularly.
Immediately remove damaged or badly worn blades, as they endanger the operator whilst
rotating.
Always cut with the blade guard in position.
Only fit NORTON diamond blades to the machine! The use of other tools can damage the
machine!
Attention is drawn to the use of BS2092 safety goggles in conformitywith specified Processes
No.8 of the Protection of Eyes Regulation 1974, Regulation 2(2) Part 1.
For security reasons, never leave the machine unattended, untied or unlocked.
While the engine is running
Do not move the machine whilst the blade is running idle.
Do not run the machine without the security guards in place.
Apply cooling water continuously whilst cutting and in good time!
Diesel powered machines:
Always use the fuel advised.
In confined areas, exhaust gases should be evacuated and the job site properly aerated.
Diesel machines, which by their nature emit toxic exhaust gases, must not be used in places
prohibited by the Health at Work Act 1974 or which are prohibited by Factory Inspectors or
Safety Officers.
Diesel is flammable. Before filling the tank, shut down the engine, extinguish all open flames
and do not smoke. Take care that no diesel is spilled on any motor part. Always wipe up
spilled fuel.

Made of jig welded open profile steel, the CS1-500 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.
The pivoting frame (3), hinged on the rear axle, is supporting the engine, the blade shaft
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.
