MK-20 SERIES
DIAMOND BLADE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
1. When installing the blade retaining-bolt, ensure the threads of the bolt are
aligned with the threads of the drive shaft so as not to "cross-thread" the bolt.
2. When installing the blade ensure that the blade shaft and flanges are free from dirt
and all foreign material before mounting blade on the blade shaft. Tightening a blade
against an uneven surface can cause fracture or cause the blade to run out of alignment.
3. Blade shaft threads are left-handed on the right side of the saw and right-hand on the
left of the saw.
(A)
Open the Blade Guard Cover.
Locate the Blade Shaft Nut and the
Outer Flange.
(D)
Install the Diamond Blade onto the
Blade Shaft and Drive Pin. Ensure
directional arrow on the blade indi-
cates proper rotational direction.
(G)
Tighten Blade Shaft Nut holding
the Blade Shaft steady. Lower and
close Blade Guard.
(B)
Loosen the Blade Shaft Nut while
holding the Shaft Wrench steady.
(E)
Install the Outer Flange. Verify the
drive pin is seated; it must project
through the hole in the blade and into
the flange.
WARNING Do not operate the saw without the proper
Blade Guard covering. Ensure that the blade
exposure does not exceed 180 degrees during
operation.
DO NOT use woodcutting, or carbide blades
on this machine! Use ONLY Diamond
blades on machine.
NOTE: Raise the blade as high as possible when ma-
neuvering so that the blade will not strike the
pavement. The blade is spinning whenever the
saw is running.
