2.1 Short description
The Floor Saw CS1 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 for either wet or dry cutting operations. Being of small construction, it can be transported in
a car or van. The water container is enclosed in the frame. All component parts on the CS1 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 CS1 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.
