READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATORS INSTRUCTION MANUAL THOROUGHLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Death or serious injury could occur if this machine is used improperly.
Extreme care must be taken when operating electric
models with water present: Ensure power cord is prop-
erly grounded, is attached to a Ground-Fault-Interrupter
(GFI) outlet, and is undamaged.
• Check all electrical cables - be sure connections are tight and
cable is continuous and in good condition. Be sure cable is
correctly rated for both the operating current and voltage of
this equipment.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with qualied electri-
cian or service person if there is any doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Adhere to all local codes and
ordinances.
• NOTE: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to
dissipate. The motor is equipped with a grounded plug and
must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and
properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided on the
motor. If the plug does not t the outlet have a qualied electri-
cian install the proper receptacle.
• Switch motor OFF before disconnecting power.
• Engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Gasoline is extremely ammable and poison-
ous. It should only be dispensed in well ventilated
areas, and with a cool engine.
• Small gasoline engines produce high concentra-
tions of carbon monoxide (CO) example: a 5 HP 4
cycle engine operation in an enclosed 100,000
cu. ft. area with only one change of air per hour is capable of
providing deadly concentrations of CO in less than fteen min-
utes. Five changes of air in the same area will produce noxious
fumes in less than 30 minutes. Gasoline or propane powered
equipment should not be used in enclosed or partially enclosed
areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include, headache,
nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and loss of
consciousness. If symptoms occur get into fresh air and
seek medical attention immediately.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Operating Instructions
• Read and understand all operating instructions before operating this equipment.
Death or serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly.
• Concrete saws are designed to be used to cut at horizontal concrete or asphalt
slabs using diamond saw blades.
• The machines may be equipped with gasoline engines or electric motors.
• They are designed to be controlled by a single operator from a position at the rear of the saw.
• Maintain a safe distance from other personnel in the area.
Be sure to read the Rx for Concrete Saws supplied with your machine.
IMPORTANT: Perform Pre-Start Check.
• Visually inspect the equipment for wear or damage.
• Be sure all guards are in place and functioning properly. Do not operate unless blade guard is in place
and secure.
• Perform all daily maintenance.
• Check to be sure water tubes are functioning properly if performing wet-cutting operations.
• Inspect blade - Be sure the correct blade is installed properly on the machine, including RPM, size,
mounting arrangement and its intended use.
• Check blade for damage (see Figure 1 , below).
• Inspect work area to determine the presence and location of deck inserts, pipes, columns and objects
protruding from the slab surface so that they may be avoided during the cutting operation. Scribe a
line to help guide the saw.
Figure 1

Page 6
Operating Instructions
•FOR WET CUTTING: Attach the water supply. A ow rate of approximately 2 gallons per minute
(minimum) is required. Attach the water hose to the coolant valve. Use the valve to control the
ow of water.
•FOR DRY CUTTING: Provide a respirator and dust control system.
•FOR GASOLINE MODELS: Put the engine stop switch and the machine stop switch in the “RUN”
position. Consult the engine manufacturers operating instructions and follow the directions for starting
and breaking in the engine.
•BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE OR MOTOR: Raise the saw blade clear of the working surface.
The blade is raised using the depth control handwheel knob mounted on the lower handle assembly
(Figure 2) .Lift the knob to unlock and turn the handwheel clockwise until the blade is clearly
o󰀨 the ground.
•START ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING SPEED: Position the saw over the cutting
line. Bring the engine to full speed. Lower the blade into the slab surface by slowly turning the depth
control handwheel knob. NOTE - the 14 inch blade has a maximum cutting depth of 4 3/4”. Do not
allow the arbor anges to contact slab surface.
When the selected cutting depth is reached, lock the depth control handwheel knob and proceed to
push the saw forward. The saw blade must remain straight, do not twist, and do not force blade, the
engine or motor should not strain when cutting.
•TO STOP THE MACHINE: Stop forward motion. Push the throttle to idle. Turn the depth control
handwheel knob clockwise to raise the blade clear of the cut. Turn ignition or power switch
o󰀨 and let the engine come to a complete stop. Turn o󰀨 the water supply.
•WHEN MANEUVERING THE SAW: Make sure the blade is raised high enough so it does not strike
the slab surface. Damage to blade may occur with inadvertent contact with the slab or other object.
•DO NOT FORCE BLADE WHILE CUTTING.
•IF THE POWER SOURCE STALLS IN THE CUT: Raise the blade completely out of the cut.
Disconnect the power source (i.e. the spark plug wire on a gasoline engine or disconnect an electric
model at the machine). Inspect the blade ange nut/bolt to verify that they are still tight, and inspect
the blade for damage. Replace damaged (or questionable) blades immediately.
•WHEN TRANSPORTING THE SAW: Be sure to remove the blade. Before removing the blade,
disconnect the power source before lifting or removing any guard. See the directions for Changing
Blades on (page 8) .
•WHEN STORING THE SAW: Loosen handle locks. Pull handle up and rotate forward.
Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4

Page 7
Maintenance Instructions
Disconnect the machine from the power source. Remove the spark plug lead on gasoline engine
models or disconnect the supply voltage connector on electric models, before performing any main-
tenance. All maintenance to be performed regularly by qualied personnel.
•Never work under saw without rst placing chocks on the wheels and support device under the saw to prevent
it from moving or falling. Always work on a at and level surface.
• Refer to the engine manual for maintenance information specic to the engine used. Be sure to check oil level
before operation. Clean air lter element daily.
• Grease bearings after every 4 hours of use. Refer to (page 9) for lubrication points on available models.
• Perform a visual inspection of the entire machine before operation. Be sure all fasteners are tight and secure,
check for signs of metal cracking or fatigue, inspect for damage to electrical wiring, damage to fuel lines, check
bearings and inspect to be sure proper guards are in place and secure, etc...
• Inspect belts before operation. Check belt tension. On new equipment, belts should be re-tensioned after the
rst four hours of use. Damaged, stretched or excessively worn belts should be replaced with a new matched set.
• To tension belts, loosen motor mounting hardware slightly. Either push motor towards the rear of the saw
(handle bar side) until the belts are tight or on the models with a belt tensioning adjustment bolt, use bolt to
adjust the engine until the belts are tight. Re-torque the engine mounting hardware.
• Proper belt tension must be maintained to transmit the engine power to the cutting blade. Slipping belts will
over-heat, the blade life will be shortened and the cutting speed limited. Over tensioned belts will shorten the
belt and bearing life.
• Check diamond blades for cracks, loose segments and oversize, worn, or out-of-round arbor holes
(See Figure 1) . Do not use any questionable blade since serious injury and/or damage to property can result.
Do not use warped, twisted, or out-of-balance blades. Unbalanced blades will wear excessively, vibrate and
damage both arbor shaft and bearings. Do not use a blade without a drive pinhole (Figure 5) .
• For safety reasons, EDCO does not recommend the use of any abrasive blades. Abrasive blades can
break and cause serious personal injury to operator and/or bystanders. If abrasive blades are used by choice,
use only reinforced abrasive blades. Inspect abrasive blades carefully.
• Be sure arbor shaft, backing plate and blade cap are clean and in good
condition. Flanges should be free of nicks and burrs. Replace if out-of-round or worn.

Changing Blades
Disconnect the machine from the power source before performing any work on the
equipment (i.e. changing the blade). To disconnect the power source on gasoline engine
models, remove the spark plug lead.
•Make sure you have the proper blade for the job. Determine the hardness and composition of the
slab. Give your dealer complete information including whether re-bars are present, the desired
depth of the cut, and the length of the cut. If in doubt, contact the blade manufacturer.
Inspect the blade before installing. Check diamond blades for cracks, loose segments
and oversize, worn, or out-of-round arbor holes. (Figure 1) Do not use any questionable
blade since serious personal injury and/or damage of property can result. Do not
use warped, twisted, or out-of-balance blades. Unbalanced blades will wear excessively, vibrate
and damage both arbor shaft and bearings. Do not use a blade without a drive pinhole (Figure 5).
For safety reasons, EDCO does not recommend the use of any abrasive blades. Abrasive
blades can break and cause serious personal injury to operator and/or bystandards. If
abrasive blades are used by choice, use only reinforced abrasive blades. Inspect
abrasive blades carefully.
Never exceed the maximum operating speed of the blade. Be sure to match the blade
speed rating with the arbor shaft speed on the machine. The standard models of the
KL-14, SK-14, SB-14, DS-18 have an arbor shaft speed (uploaded) of 3600 RPM and
3000 RPM under load.
•Do not remove or lift the blade guard unless machine is stopped and all power is disconnected.
Be sure to reinstall blade guard before reconnecting the power source.
•To change blade pull up on front of guard and rotate back until guard rests on rear wheel.
•Be sure the arbor shaft, backing plate, and blade cap are clean and in good condition. Make sure
the threads are clean and undamaged. If any damage is detected, consult your EDCO dealer
(or the EDCO factory).
•The backing plate and blade cap should be the same diameter, do not use if they are
di󰀨erent diameters.
