    MK-101 SaFeTY SiliCa DUST waRNiNG Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis.

  • Page 10 MK-101 SaFeTY eleCTRiC MOTOR SaFeTY For maintenance care and operation of the electric motor, refer to your electric motor instruction book- let furnished with the electric motor. Protect the electric motor from dust as much as possible and keep ventilating openings clean.

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.
  • Page 12 MK-101 SaFeTY waRNiNG Use of undersized extension cords result in low voltage to the motor that can result in 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.

    MK-101 MaiNTeNaNCe 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 will become smoothed or "glazed" over. This will reduce grinding efficiency and may cause the blade to "wander" or bend giving the illusion of an alignment problem.
