NOTE: BLADE ON SAWS IN PICTURE ARE NOT INCLUDED : BLADES MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY

Concrete floors crack because of water buildup and structural issues. To repair damage, cracks must be opened and filled. The C10 Crack Chaser opens cracks up to 1/2 inch wide. Operators pull this saw through crack patterns.

FEATURES

• Maximum depth of cut is 1″
• Caster wheels allows operator to follow any random crack pattern
• Combination depth control knob and engage/disengage lever allow exact depth cutting
• Standard with dual 3″ vac ports for dry cutting
• Optional straight cutting wheel kit for straight cuts or joint cleaning using an 8″ wire wheel.

Technical Specifications

The EDCO C10 Inch Gasoline 13 HP Crack Chasing Saw is a high-performance concrete repair saw expertly designed for prepping cracks, joints, and control lines before filling or sealing. Renowned for its blend of raw power, operator precision, and heavy-duty construction, the C10 is the trusted choice of concrete and pavement professionals handling large and small restoration, crack chasing, and joint cleaning projects.

Product Overview

The C10 Crack Chaser features a robust 13 HP Honda gasoline engine that powers an 8-inch diamond crack chasing or joint cleaning blade at up to 6,000 RPM. Its specialty caster wheel system and ergonomic controls make it easy to follow even the most erratic, random crack patterns—pulling the saw along cracks rather than pushing, so operators enjoy smoother tracking with less fatigue. The combination depth control knob and a blade engage/disengage lever allow pinpoint accuracy, opening cracks up to ½” wide and up to 1” deep in concrete or asphalt surfaces, prepping them for effective long-term repair.

Key Features

• 13 HP Honda Engine: Delivers industry-best torque and reliability; engineered for tough jobsite conditions and all-day runtime.

• Blade Versatility: Accepts 7”, 8”, or 10” diamond blades for a wide variety of crack widths and shapes, as well as specialty joint cleaning applications.

• Maximum Depth of Cut: 1” deep and up to ½” wide in a single pass—ideal for prepping even major structural cracks for backer rod, foam, epoxy, or sealant.

• Caster Wheel System: Three caster wheels let you track irregular cracks and random paths while keeping blade perfectly aligned within the fault.

• Depth Control & Engage Lever: Combination control adjusts, locks, and releases blade for exact cutting without guesswork.

• Vibration-Dampened Steel Frame: Minimizes operator fatigue, reduces skipping, and extends machine life over years of demanding use.

• Vacuum Port Ready: Standard 3″ vacuum port supports high-CFM dust extraction for dry cutting—essential for OSHA-compliance and maintaining clean work zones.

• Optional Straight Cut Kit: Attach for straight line routing and joint cleaning, making the C10 even more versatile on new slabs or overlays.

Benefits & Performance Highlights

• Precision Crack Following: The unique pull-back design and triple caster wheels allow the C10 to “seek” out and follow cracks, handling curved, jagged, or intersecting faults other saws might miss.

• Clean, Accurate Results: High RPM and stable base result in uniform routing for better sealant penetration, longer-lasting repairs, and minimized overcutting or surface damage.

• Operator Safety & Comfort: Visible blade placement, spring-loaded lifting handle, and depth lock reduce risk and fatigue, while the vacuum port eliminates silica and debris at the source.

• Industry-Leading Versatility: Tackle joint cleaning, straight expansion joint cutting, and random crack chasing all with a single machine—simply switch blades or attach the optional straight wheel kit as needed.

• Fast Production Rates: Opens cracks at 8-10 feet per minute (concrete, ½” deep) for maximum productivity on any surface.

Typical Applications

• Crack chasing and widening for injection, joint filling, routing, and sealing

• Concrete restoration and slab repair for parking lots, warehouses, roads, runways

• Joint cleaning (paired with wire wheel) for caulking or expansion material installs

• Trenching for elastomeric sealant, epoxies, or backer rods

• Decorative scoring or prep for overlays

Maintenance & Operator Tips

• Air Filter Cleaning: Clean foam and paper air filters daily with detergent and compressed air to maximize engine life.

• Arbor Shaft Greasing: Grease the shaft bearings after each workday to protect from wear and dust ingestion.

• Blade Inspection: Never operate with cracked, worn, or damaged blades; check for segment loss or arbor hole wear after every use.

• Belt Tensioning: Adjust belt tension after the first hour and then daily using the accessible adjustment screw—ensure no more than ½” deflection under moderate finger pressure.

• Vacuum Filter Care: Empty the dust collection frequently. Always use a high-CFM vacuum (over 200 CFM) to properly capture submicron silica.

• Spark Plug & Cooling: Change spark plug every 100 hours; keep muffler and engine cooling fins clean to prevent overheating.

• No Water Use: Saw is intended for dry cutting only—adding water is not recommended as slurry will clog cracks and affect repair quality.

Safety Guidelines

• Only operate outdoors or in well-ventilated areas; never run gasoline equipment indoors.

• Wear OSHA-approved respirators, goggles, gloves, and hearing protection.

• Disconnect spark plug before maintenance or blade changes.

• Inspect frame, handles, and wheels for damage before work.

• Always ensure the saw is fully stopped and cooled before moving, adjusting, or servicing.
