3 Assembly and commissioning
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.
