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!
•Read the blades’ specifications carefully to choose the correct tool for your application.
•Attention is drawn to the use of BS2092 safety goggles in conformity with specified Processes
No.8 of the Protection of Eyes Regulation 1974, Regulation 2(2) Part 1. Also use the other
safety equipment as mentioned in the symbols plus a dust mask when dry cutting is applied.
•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 (even when dry cutting to
avoid dust)!
Petrol powered machines:
•Always use the fuel advised.
•In confined areas, exhaust gases should be evacuated and the job site properly aerated.
•Petrol and diesel machines, which by their nature emit toxic exhaust gases, must not be
used in places prohibited by the Health at Work etc. Act 1974 or which are prohibited by
Factory Inspectors or Safety Officers.
•Fuel is flammable. Before filling the tank, shut down the engine, extinguish all open flames
and do not smoke. Take care that no petrol is spilled on any motor part. Always wipe up
spilled fuel.

2.1 Short description
The Floor Saw CS 451 you have chosen is used for small repair works in concrete and asphalt,
for cutting induction loops and installing cables as well as for cutting expansion joints. It can be
used either for wet or dry cutting operations.
An optimized mass repartition and positioning of 25 litre water tank allow outstanding cutting
performance as well as easy handling.
Operator can use specific devices to set cutting depth and track easily.
Ergonomic handles height can be set at right value whatever the cutting depth; handles feature
a built-in vibration absorbing device.
Reinforced frame reduces vibration level as well as operator’s fatigue.
CS 451 has taper lock pulleys and Poly-V belt for better reliability and easy maintenance.
Being of small construction, it can be transported in a car or van; the handle can be removed,
reversed or retracted. The 25 litre water container is also removable.
All component parts on the CS 451 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 CS 451 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. A depth gauge
allows the operator to control precisely the depth of cut.
The handle (3) is detachable or can be reversed for easy transportation. The height is
adjustable whatever the cutting depth. A specific built-in device reduces vibrations.
Machine frame is designed in a way to reduce vibrations too, improving working conditions.
The pivoting frame (4), hinged on the rear axle, is supporting the engine, the blade shaft
assembly, and the protecting guards. Poly-V belt drives the blade.
