Product Overview

The EDCO GMS20 shines with its powerful Honda GX390 13 HP engine—outfitted with a 12V electric starter—which means instant, hassle-free ignition every time. The saw’s design supports a massive 20” blade (accepting 14”–20” for versatility), and the extra-large rolling table allows for block up to 8” to be cut on both sides. A patented fixed engine platform, three-stage air filter, and belt-driven diaphragm water pump ensure long life and consistent, dust-suppressed performance in the harshest environments.

Key Features

• Electric Start 13 HP Honda GX390 Engine: No pull-starting hassles—even in cold or rugged conditions. Provides ultra-reliable power for tough cutting, with a 12V starter, battery, and charging system built-in.

• Freestanding, Heavy-Duty Construction: Large footprint adds stability, reduces vibration, and allows “hands-free” foot pedal operation for enhanced safety and precision.

• 20” Blade Capacity (14"–20" usable): Cut block, stone, or pavers up to 8” thick from both sides in a single pass—ideal for tall architectural block or thick landscape material.

• Adjustable Cutting Head: Fixed for speed or adjustable for specialty work, letting operators meet the needs of both repetitive and unique jobs.

• Belt Driven Diaphragm Water Pump: Provides consistent water flow to the blade for cooling and dust suppression; can be quickly disconnected for dry cutting.

• Massive Rolling Table with Replaceable Double-Sided Rails: Supports oversized workpieces and enables smooth, guided, accurate cuts, even under heavy loads.

• 3-Stage Air Filtration: Keeps the engine protected from dust and debris, crucial for longevity on dusty sites.

• Standard Foot Pedal: Enables hands-free operation for greater operator safety and convenience.

• Patented Fixed Engine Platform: Improves blade alignment, eases maintenance, and prolongs machine lifespan.

Benefits & Performance

• Big Cuts, Heavy Materials: The GMS20 handles the largest architectural and landscape block, thickest paving stones, and natural stone or engineered slabs—delivering clean, consistent, and straight cuts every time.

• Workflow Efficiency: Electric start saves time at every job; rolling table, foot pedal, and hands-free operation boost safety and minimize user fatigue.

• Maximum Life in Harsh Conditions: Triple-stage air filtration, robust belt drive, and protected water pump ensure performance doesn’t degrade on demanding or dusty projects.

• Flexible Cutting Styles: Switch between wet and dry cutting as the job requires, quickly disengaging water when not needed.

• Quick Maintenance: Replaceable table rails, accessible engine platform, and external pump mean repairs and upkeep are fast—keeping crews moving and minimizing downtime.

Applications

• Cutting block, brick, stone, and pavers for commercial masonry, landscaping, patios, and hardscape projects

• Architectural jobs requiring tall block or intricate layouts

• Large retaining wall or paver installs in landscape/hardscape

• Roadway median, curb, or step construction

• Tile and stone cutting for high-end entryways or façades

Maintenance Best Practices

• Before Each Use: Inspect blade, water system, air filter, belts, and all nuts/bolts. Top off fuel and engine oil. Test electric starter for reliable operation.

• Daily Cleaning: Clean debris from the machine, water lines, and tray rails. Flush blade guard after wet cutting to prevent residual build-up.

• Belt & Drive: Retension “V” belts after first several uses, then check tension weekly—replace belts as a matched set for even drive.

• Table Rail Maintenance: Replace rails if rolling table becomes rough or misaligned; reverse double-sided rails for extended life.

• Electric Start Battery: Maintain battery charge, inspect connections, and replace as needed.

• Water Pump: Periodically flush to prevent clogging, especially after dry cutting or heavy use.

• Air Filter: Tap out dust daily; replace filter at regular intervals—especially after high-dust jobs.

Safety Guidelines

• Always use OSHA-approved PPE: safety goggles, hearing protection, gloves, and dust masks.

• Never override or disable safety guards.

• Use the belt-driven water pump when wet cutting to minimize dust and blade wear.

• Perform all maintenance with the engine off and disabled, and ensure the blade is at a complete stop.

• Follow step-cut guidelines for thick block—never force the blade for full-depth cuts at once.
