Replacing the Diamond Grinding Disc:
• Make sure the throttle is fully closed (full stop position) to insure there will
be no accidental engine starting while cleaning or replacing the disc.
• To gain access to the disc, push down on the handle in the rear
optional position (Figure 1) and pivot the unit back on the wheels until it
comes to rest on the handle. (The belt tensioning bolt is also visible from this
position.)
• Unbolt the diamond disc and remove the disc.
• Replace with a new disc by simply reversing the procedure.
For Dry Grinding:
Check materials being removed to determine if they are listed on an EPA hazardous substance list. A
breathing respirator is required to help protect the operator.
• The EDCO VAC-100, VAC-160 and VAC-150 have available optional HEPA filter kits designed to be
used when removing hazardous materials. Standard, shop-vac style vacuums are not capable of extended operation.
In addition, these standard vacs use paper bag filters that can clog and overload the vacuum motor.
• Dry grinding creates a large volume of airborne dust. The edgers are equipped with a 1-1/2” vacuum port for at-
taching a high volume industrial vacuum capable of removing particles to three microns. If the materials involved are
hazardous, or unknown and assumed hazardous, the operator must assume responsibility for the proper handling and
disposal of the hazardous material.
Note: Hazardous debris, including vacuum filters, must be disposed of properly according to OSHA and government
standards.
Inspect drive belt :
• Check belt tension. On new equipment, and after installing a new belt, the
belt should be retensioned after the first four hours of use. A damaged,
stretched, or worn belt should be replaced with a new one. (Figure 3 -
Shown with belt cover removed.)
• Adjust belt tension (Figure 3). Loosen belt tensioning bolt (Figure 2) and slide
pulley to provide more tension against drive belt.
