Safety Guidelines
Maintain a safe operating distance from flammable materials. Sparks from the cutting-action of this saw can ignite flam-
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.
Read and understand the Operator’s Manual, the Rx for Concrete Saws,
and the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
before operating this equipment.
Death or serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly.
