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 maintenance. All
maintenance to be performed regularly by qualied 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 specic to the engine used. Be sure to check oil level
before operation. Clean air lter element daily.
• Grease bearings daily during use.
Refer to picture below
for lubrication points.
• 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
motor 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 overheat,
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
Page 12).
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.
• 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.
