SAFETY Read and follow all safety, operating and maintenance instructions. Failure to read and follow these instructions could result in injury or death to you or others. Failure to read and follow these instructions could also result in damage and/or reduced equipment life. SAFETY MESSAGES: Safety messages inform the user about potential hazards that could lead to injury, death and/or equipment damage.
SAFETY USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. If using an extension cord make sure it is in good condition first. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage that will result in a loss of power and overheating. TABLE 1, Page 8 shows the correct AWG size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
SAFETY Hazard Symbols: ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Never touch electrical wires or components while the motor is running. Exposed, frayed or worn electrical motor wiring can be sources of electrical shock that could cause severe injury or burns. ACCIDENTAL STARTS! Before plugging the equipment into an electrical outlet, be sure the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position to prevent accidental starting. Unplug the power tool before performing any service operation.
SAFETY ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times! In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
SAFETY Power Cord To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the saw to one side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop," shown in FIGURE 2, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or Power Tool the connector, if an extension cord is used.
SAFETY SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS: Safety labels are located according to Figures 1 and 2 below. The labels contain important safety information. Please read the information contained on each safety label. These labels are considered a permanent part of your saw. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact MK Diamond or your dealer for a replacement Item 1A. 1B. 1C.
SAFETY PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: The MK-660 is a versatile Tile Saw. Operated and used according to this manual, the MK-660 will provide years of dependable service. General Description: The MK-660 Tile Saw is engineered as a tabletop or stand mounted wet tile saw. The saw includes a powerful 115v totally enclosed direct drive DC motor with a thermal protective overload. The saw is capable of cutting tile up to fourteen (14) inches in length, or diagonally cutting tile up to ten (10) inches.
UNPACKING, TRANSPORT, UNIVERSAL STAND and ASSEMBLY UNPACKING: Your MK-660 has been shipped from the factory thoroughly inspected. Only minimal assembly is required. Use proper lifting techniques when lifting the MK-660. If not done, remove the MK-660, accessory box from the carton.

SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION SETUP: 1. Pre-start Inspection: Prior to beginning work, a pre-start inspection of the saw should be preformed. Off Position Inspect for cracks, de-bonding, etc.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION 3. Water Pump Setup for Operation: The Water Pump can be setup for operation in two ways, External Water Source or Re-circulation. NOTE: If using a dry blade for operation, DO NOT connect the water pump. I. External Water Source: This is the preferred method of cooling.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION 4 MK-660 Setup for Operation: 1. Before powering or starting, check for damage that could prevent this equipment from proper operation or performing it’s intended function. Check for binding and alignment of moving parts. Check for damaged, broken, or missing parts. 2. Verify the On/Off switch is in the OFF position. 3.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION: 1. Cutting Straight Edges: DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION 2. Diagonal Cutting: NOTE: To cut diagonal, the Dual 45º Flat Angle Guide (MK Diamond Part No. 134557-MK) should be used. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION 3. 45º Miter Cutting: NOTE: To cut 45º Miters, the 45º Bullnose Miter Guide (MK Diamond Part No. 134585-MK) should be used. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION 4. Off-angle Cutting: NOTE: To cut angles other than 45º angles, a Protractor (MK Diamond Part No. 134569-MK) should be used. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Flow Adjustment: NOTE: If flow to the diamond blade requires adjustment, perform the following actions.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 4. Blade Dressing: Like most cutting instruments, a diamond blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use, diamonds on the outer edge of the blade will become smoothed or “glazed” over. This will reduce grinding efficiency and may cause the blade to “wander” or bend giving the illusion of an alignment problem. When this occurs, the blade will need to be dressed.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 5. Diamond Blade Change-out: NOTE: When installing the Retaining Screw, do not “cross-thread" and DO NOT over tighten the screw.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING: 1.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 3.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: “Rodding” cooling channels is performed by inserting a small wire rod through the cooling inlet on top of the Blade Guard and directing the rod out through each of the cooling flow tubes located on the underside o the Blade Guard. The cooling channels should be “rodded” until all ports are free of foreign debris.

THEORY THEORY OF DIAMOND BLADES: Diamond blades do not really cut; they grind the material through friction. Diamond crystals, often visible at the leading edge and sides of the rim/segment, remove material by scratching out particles of hard, dense materials, or by knocking out larger particles of loosely bonded abrasive material. This process eventually cracks or fractures the diamond particle, breaking it down into smaller pieces.
