Indicates an imminent hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates an imminent hazard which, if not avoided, can result in death or serious injury.
Indicates hazards which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury and or damage to the equipment.

ELECTRICAL POWERED EQUIPMENT CONTINUED
· Do not disconnect power by pulling cord. To disconnect, grasp the plug, not the cord.
· Unplug power cord at the machine when not in use and before servicing.
· Switch motor OFF before disconnecting power. · Never use frayed, damaged, taped or under rated extension cords.
Electrical shock could result in death or serious injury to the operator and damage to the equipment. · Assure you are using the proper extension cord length.

GASOLINE / PROPANE POWERED EQUIPMENT
· Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. · Tilting a gasoline powered machine fitted with an EPA approved vented charcoal filter gas cap, beyond 20° can cause fuel leakage. If a leak occurs, do not start or run the engine until the leak is fixed. Eliminate all other ignition sources in the immediate area (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames). Use approved gasoline absorbing material to contain the fuel leakage. Then use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed materials then dispose of these contaminants properly. · Gasoline is extremely flammable and poisonous. It should only be dispensed in well ventilated areas, and with a cool engine. · Small gasoline engines produce high concentrations 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 fifteen minutes. Five changes of air in the same area will produce noxious fumes in less than 30 minutes. Gasoline powered equipment should not be used in enclosed or partially enclosed areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include, head-ache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and loss of consciousness. If symptoms occur – get into fresh air and seek medical attention immediately. · Never refuel a hot engine or an engine while it is running. · Engines are shipped from factory without fuel/oil. · Propane is extremely flammable and is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas where a spark or flame could ignite gas. DO NOT start or operate this propane engine in a poorly ventilated area where leaking propane gas could accumulate and endanger safety of persons in area. If headache develops, shut off machine. Have it checked for carbon monoxide emissions by a qualified technician before using it again. To ensure personal safety, installation and repair of propane fuel supply systems must be performed only by qualified technicians. Carbon monoxide emissions from this machine are greatly increased due to a dirty combustion air cleaner.
ELECTRICAL POWERED EQUIPMENT
Extreme care must be taken when operating electric models with water present: Ensure power cord is properly 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 electrician 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 electrician install the proper receptacle.

DUST AND CRYSTALLINE SILICA WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing 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 manufacturers/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 recommendations 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.
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals 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.

· 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 off the ground.

· START ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING SPEED: With the handle in the full upright position(Figure 3) 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″. Step cut in 1″ increments for depths greater than 1″. Do not allow the arbor flanges 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. Turn the depth control handwheel knob clockwise to
raise the blade clear of the cut. Push the throttle to idle. Turn ignition or power switch off and let the engine come to a complete stop. Turn off 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 flange 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 12).

· WHEN STORING THE SAW: Loosen handle locks. Pull handle up and rotate forward(Figure 4).

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 model KL-14 has an arbor shaft speed of 3600 RPM (no load) 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 the blade unbolt and pull up on front of guard (Figure 5). Then rotate the guard back until it rests on rear wheel (Figure 6).
· 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 different diameters.

Maintenance Instructions

E-KL14-I-0124

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 qualified personnel.
· Never work under saw without first placing chocks on the wheels and support device under the saw to prevent it from moving or falling. Always work on a flat and level surface.
· Refer to the engine manual for maintenance information specific to the engine used. Be sure to check oil level before operation. Clean air filter element daily.
· Grease bearings after every 4 hours of use. Refer to (page 14) 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 first 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 7).
· 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.
