MK-1080 PAVER SAW

MOTOR INFORMATION

WARNING
ON / OFF
Your MK-1080 Paver Saw requires minimum preparation prior to operation. It is advisable, however, to
periodically lubricate those metal components that pivot and rotate and observe three critical areas of
concern:
NOTICE
The MK-1080 Paver Saw has not been engineered nor designed to cut materials (ie. steel, wood, etc.)
other than those comprised of ceramic/masonry material such as clay, stone, rock, cinder and masonry
brick and block. For best results, USE ONLY MK DIAMOND BLADES. For assistance in Diamond Blade
selection, contact your distributor or MK Diamond at (800) 262-1575.
NOTICE
The electric motors used on the MK-1080 have been designed to deliver exceptional power over a long
period of time, with virtually no maintenance requirements. However, if they do NOT receive the proper
voltage conditions, their performance and longevity will degrade. Continued operations utilizing dubious
power sourcing could damage your electric motor. If extension cords are necessary, pay particular atten-
tion to their length and gauge. Always be cautious around your jobsite power source!
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The Thermal Overload manual reset switch is located on the top housing of the electrical motor (Fig-
ure 24). If an extreme internal temperature is sensed, the switch will "trip" and the motor will shut off
automatically. If this occurs, turn the motor "ON/OFF" switch to the "OFF" position and allow the mo-
tor to cool for at least ten minutes before restarting. Push the "reset" button (using minimal force) and
resume operations.
NOTICE
Interruption of motor operation caused by the thermal switch indicates the existence of improper or insuf-
ficient power to your electric motor. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR POWER SOURCE!
For your own safety, NEVER start the motor until you fully understand the electrical
requirements and standards of your machine and jobsite. When starting the saw,
the operator should stand outside the path of the blade. Read requirements and
features of this saw.
• Ensure the proper/recommended Diamond Blade has been selected for the job.
• Inspect and ensure the proper electrical power is available for your motor.
• Ensure a constant flow of water is generated to the Diamond Blade.
