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 qualified 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 fit the outlet have a qualified elec-
trician 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 flammable 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 concenrations of CO in less than fifteen min-
utes. Five changes of air in the same area will produce noxious
fumes in less than 30 minutes. Gasoline or propane powered
quipment should not be used in enclosed or partially enclosed
areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include, headache,
nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and loss of
conscious ness. If symptoms occur get into fresh air and
seek medical attention immediately.

mable materials or vapors.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can get tangled
or caught in moving parts.
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times when this machine is in use. During normal use, sound levels ex-
ceed 85dBA. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses to help prevent eye injury. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
• Keep a safe operating distance from other personnel and never leave the machine running unattended.
• Maintain the machine in safe operating condition with all guards in place and secure, all mechanical fasteners
tight, all controls in working order and the saw configured for the job application.
• The SS-24 is designed to cut flat, horizontal concrete or asphalt slabs using diamond saw blades.
• The SS-24 is to be operated by a single operator from a position at the rear of the saw.
• Avoid deck inserts, pipes, columns, openings, electrical outlets, or any objects protruding from slab surface.
• Inspect the blades carefully before installing. Do not use any questionable blade since serious personal injury
and/or damage to property can result.
• Never operate this saw while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that impair the
senses or reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
• Be sure all safety decals on the machine can be clearly read and understood. Replace damaged or missing
decals immediately.
• EDCO SP equipment are now equipped with an EVAP system to trap and dispose of fuel vapors before they can escape
into the atmosphere. This EVAP system contains a charcoal canister plumbed into the fuel system that transfers vapors
back to the engine to be burned. The fuel tank is sealed with a viton gasket in the cap. This cap is tethered to the tank.
Canister should be replaced every 10+ years.
Safety warnings and guidelines do not by themselves eliminate danger.
They are not given as substitutes for proper accident prevention and good judgement.

Before Starting the Engine:
• Read Rx for Concrete Saws before operating.
• Inspect machine before each use according to the Maintenance Schedule on page 15.
• Locate and be familiar with all engine and saw controls (Figure 2).
• Inspect the blades carefully before installing. Use the correct blade for the job. Check
rated RPM, diameter and size configuration. Make sure blades are correctly mounted.
• For wet cutting, attach supply hose to Water Hook Up Valve (Figure 3).
NOTE: Do not flip Blade Saver switch to WET until after the engine has started.
• Adjust the handles for operator comfort and safe operation. Be sure to re-tighten
knobs once handles are positioned.
• Be sure cutting line is well defined.
• Move the saw into operating position.
Starting the Engine:
• Check to be sure blade is raised - not in contact with the slab surface and blade
guards are in place.
• Blade Saver switch (Figure 4) must be in the DRY position or engine will not start.
Note: The Blade Saver detects water pressure from the switch to the blade. If water
pressure drops below 2 1/2 gallons per minute, the switch will shut off the engine to
prevent damage to the machine and/or the blade.
• Check that the Emergency Stop (E-Stop) is in the UP position.
• Turn Engine Ignition key to START. After engine starts, leave Engine Ignition in the RUN position. Ignition position
on saw will vary depending on engine. (Review Figure 2)
NOTE: In cold weather, use the Choke to aid starting.
• If wet cutting, open Water Valve (or turn on Water Pump) then flip the Blade Saver switch to the WET position.
Check to be sure water flows freely to the blade. Water should be visible on the ground around the blade.
For blades marked DRY CUTTING, leave switch in the DRY position. While water is not required for
cooling, it may be used for controlling dust. For health reasons, it is strongly recommended that the
operator wear a respirator if cutting dry and water is not being used to control dust from the material
being removed. That dust may contain chemicals known to cause serious illnesses, including Silicosis
a fatal disease of the lungs. Check the chemical properties of the material to be removed and follow
all EPA/OSHA regulations.
Carbon Canister:
• The SS-24 is equipped with a charcoal canister to create a sealed fuel
system and re-route any vapors from the tank back to the airbox on the
engine for burning. This unit also has a tethered fuel cap with viton gasket
and evaporation resistant fuel lines. Life expectancy is estimated
at 10+ years.

EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT CO., INC.
For Dry Cutting:
Consult Blade Manufacturer
for Maximum Depth of Cut.
Starting and Controlling the Cut:
• Engine must be at FULL THROTTLE.
• Move CLUTCH lever to DRIVE position and adjust SPEED CONTROL (Figure 8).
• Pull knob up on the Depth Control Handwheel (Figure 6), slowly turn Handwheel in
DOWN direction (counter clockwise) until blade comes in contact with slab surface.
• Set the Depth Gauge (Figure 7) at ZERO .
• Continue turning the Handwheel until blade has penetrated the slab to desired depth.
Note: Depth gauge is an approximate measurement - it is not ex-
act.
• Deep cutting should be achieved in 2”- 3” steps.
Never cut deeper than the maximum depth of cut for the blade being used.
Only cut in a forward direction.
Always cut with the engine at full throttle.
Controlling Speed:
• The SS-24 uses a hydrostatic transmission, chain and gear drive
mechanism that engages both rear wheels to achieve forward and
reverse movement. Machine speed is controlled by using the Speed
Control lever (figure 8).
Actual cutting speed is determined by type of blade, material to be
cut and depth of cut. Adjust forward speed to meet cutting conditions.
Note: If while cutting, the front wheels start to lift, reduce forward speed.
For positioning the saw, the maximun forward speed is 200ft
per minute. For safety reasons when in reverse the SS-24 is designed to move at
a slow walking pace. Do not force it to go faster.
Left or Right Side Cutting:
• If circumstances require a left side cut, see page 13 for instructions on
moving the blade and blade guard.

To Stop Cutting:
• Move Speed Control lever to the NEUTRAL position.
• Turn Depth Control Handwheel clockwise until blade is clear of slab.
• Push Clutch Lever forward, away from operator to the FREE WHEEL position; this will stop all forward motion.
(Page 7, Figure 8)
• Return Throttle to idle.
• Flip Blade Saver switch back to DRY.
• Turn off optional Water Pump then turn off water supply valve.
To Stop the Engine:
• In an emergency situation, PUSH DOWN the E-Stop.
• For normal shut off, return Ignition to OFF position and remove the key.
NOTE: Using the E-Stop as an ON/OFF switch instead of shutting off the ignition will drain the battery.
Coolant Requirements:
• Water must be used when operating with blades marked for WET CUTTING. A supply of 2 1/2 - 5 gallons per
minute (GPM) is necessary. Attach water hose to Coolant Valve or Pump. Adjust valves to control the flow of water.
Optional Electric Water Pump Operation:
• On all models be sure there is water in the system AND water is being supplied to the machine.
• Attach the water hose to the valve.
• Start the engine according to the directions on page 6.
• Open water valve then turn the Blade Saver to WET. (Review Figures 3 & 4)
• To stop water flow, turn the Blade Saver back to DRY and then close the water valve.
Transporting the Saw:
Extreme care must be taken when loading or
unloading this machine.
• If hoisting this machine is necessary, use the built in lifting bail.
(Figure 9) Use proper hoisting equipment and techniques.
• Remove the blade before transporting or hoisting. Serious personal
injury or damage to the equipment can result. Be sure the lifting
equipment is capable of handling the weight of the machine. If unsure
check with your supervisor. (Practice SAFETY)
• Do not transport the saw with the engine running.
• Be certain the area surrounding the machine is clear of personnel
before hoisting.

Maintenance
Should the Engine Stop While Operating:
• Check water supply:
a. Is city water valve fully open?
b. Is valve on saw console open?
c. If you are using gravity feed, check the flow.
d. If using a tank, is it empty?
• Check fuel level in the gas tank. Do not over fill the gas tank and never refuel a hot engine. If refueling is necessary
during operation, allow the engine to cool down first.
• Check oil level. Note: Some engines are equipped with an oil pressure switch that shuts off the engine in the event
the oil level drops below acceptable levels.
• Was the E-Stop accidently pushed in?
• After determining and fixing the source of the problem, follow all of the Starting the Engine instructions on page 6.
If none of the above situations correct the problem, discontinue use and contact a qualified repair professional.
The following maintenance instructions are brief explanations
of some of the items suggested in the Maintenance Schedule chart on page 15.
These instructions are not replacements for the
Engine Manufacturer’s Maintenance Instructions.
Changing the Water Pump Fuse if Equipped:
The Water Pump Fuse is located inside saw unit. (Figure 10)
• To access it, unscrew the bolt and open the gas tank door.
• Reach in and find the fuse cap. It is located in front of the water pump.

Changing Blades:
• Raise blade guard and remove arbor shaft cap screw,
lock washer and blade retaining cap. (Figure 14) To remove
the arbor shaft cap screw use a 3/4” wrench.
• Clean the arbor shaft, backing plate, and blade cap and
inspect for damage or wear. Make sure the arbor shaft
cap screw threads are clean and undamaged. If any
damage is detected, consult your EDCO dealer or the
EDCO factory.
• Carefully place the blade on the arbor shaft and turn until
the drive pin hole in the blade lines up with the drive pin
hole in the backing plate. (Figure 11) Do not use a blade
without a drive pin.
• Fit the washer and arbor shaft cap screw and
retighten the cap screw using 3/4” wrench.
(Figures 12 & 13)
• Secure the blade guard in the operating
position before starting engine.
Before Changing Blades:
Inspect all blades carefully before installing. Check for cracks, loose segments and oversize, worn, or
out-of-round arbor holes (See page 13). Do not use any questionable blade since serious personal 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.
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, only use those which are marked as reinforced abrasive blades.
• 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. 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.
Do not remove or lift the bladeguard unless
blade has stopped completely and the engine is off.

chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or
the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheets and/or consult your employer, the manufac-
turers/suppliers, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California
and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity,
or other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the rec-
ommendations of the manufacturers/suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should
be used for dust suppression when wet grinding/cutting/drilling is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust,
mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the material being used.

and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory
diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica
as a substance known to cause cancer. When grinding/cutting/drilling such materials, always follow the respiratory
precautions mentioned above.
