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! on 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 TILE SAW SPECIFIC WARNINGS: Wear eye protection. Use splash hood for every operation for which it can be used. Disconnect saw before servicing, when changing cutting blades, and cleaning. Use tool only with smooth edge cutting blades free of openings and grooves. Replace damaged cutting blade before operating. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: The MK-377 is a versatile Tile Saw. Operated and used according to this manual, the MK-377 will provide years of dependable service.

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.
