(Figure 7) Note: While the GMS-10 was designed to be used with a standard shop vac, EDCO recommends using a heavy duty industrial vacuum such as the VAC-100.

    (See page 11) The GMS-10 was designed to be used with diamond saw blades only. It is a “fixed head machine”, therefore it is important to use blades that will not wear down. Fiber blades will wear down and the cut will not go all the way through the work piece.
  • Page 9 E-GMS10-I-03/00 Belt Adjustment and Replacement: • Periodically check to be sure the belts are undamaged and that they are at the proper tension. Slipping belts will overheat causing the cutting speed to be limited and will shorten the life of the belts. Over-tensioned belts will shorten the life of the belts and bearings.
  • Page 10 E-GMS10-I-03/00 Change Engine Oil: • Check Engine Oil before each operation. Open the filler cap and look at the dip stick. (Figure 16) Oil should be clearly visable both on the stick and in the cavity and should look fairly clean. Running the machine on dirty oil or when the oil is low will result in damage to the equipment.
