MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
BLADE DRESSING
Like most cutting instruments, a Diamond Blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use,
diamonds on the outer edge will become smooth 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. The diamond blade can be dressed using the MK Dressing Stick (part number 152792)
and by following the steps below.
1. Set up the PX-3 for operation.
2. Position the Back Stop to accommodate the Dressing Stick.
3. Hold the Dressing Stick in position and depress the Trigger to start. Lock if desired.
4. Lower the Cutting Head while pushing the Dressing Stick into the Blade.
Allow the Blade to stop moving before removing work
CAUTION
!
5. Repeat the cut stroke eight (8) times.
6. When the Blade is dressed, release the Trigger Switch and raise the Cutting Head. Allow Blade to stop
moving before removing the Dressing Stick.
