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 A safety message alerts you fo potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Each safety message is preceded by a safety alert symbol ) and one of three words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF Make the workshop kid proof by using padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL A power tool will do a job better and safer operating at the rate for which it was designed. USE THE RIGHT TOOL DO NOT force a tool or an attachment to do a job that it was not designed to do. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD If using an extension cord make sure it is in good condition first.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES A Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories may increase the risk of personal or by-stander injury. () NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL Serious injury could occur if a power tool is tipped, or if a cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS A Before using a power tool, check for damaged parts.
HAZARD SYMBOLS ELECTRICAL SHOCK A NEVER touch electrical wires or components while the motor is running. They can be sources of electrical shock which could cause severe injury or buns. 7c | ROTATING PARTS A Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate the motor with covers, shrouds, or guards removed. 8 OVER SPEED ® NEVER tamper with the governor components or settings to increase the maximum \ speed.
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! A WARNING 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.
A WARNING To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the machine to one side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop,” shown in the picture below, 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 the connector, if an extension cord is used.
) TILE Lae A WARNING To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. A WARNING Use of under sized extension cords result in low voltage to the motor that can result in [oa] motor burnout and premature failure. MK Diamond warns that equipment returned to us showing signs of being run in a low voltage condition, through the use of undersized extension cords will be repaired or replaced totally at the customer's expense.
SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS Safety labels contain important safety information. Please read the information contained on each safety label. These labels are considered a permanent part of your saw.

ama 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 may become smoothed or "glazed" over. This will reduce grinding efficiency and may cause the blade to "wander" or bend giving the illusion of an aliment problem. When this occurs, the blade will need to be dressed. The diamond blade can be dressed using the MK Dressing Stick (MK Diamond part number 152972) and by following the steps below.
V-Belt Inspection, Adjustment and Replacement The MK-100 is designed with power transmission Micro-V Belt. in order to ensure the MK-100 operates a peak efficiency, the Micro-V Belt should be inspected monthly, and changed if the Micro-V Belt shows damage and/or excessive wear.

THEORY OF DIAMOND BLADES Diamond glades 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.
