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 periodi-
cally lubricate those metal components that pivot and rotate and observe three critical areas of concern:
1.
Ensure the proper/recommended Diamond Blade has been selected for the job.
2.
Inspect and ensure the proper electrical power is available for your motor.
3.
Ensure a constant flow of water is generated to the Diamond Blade.
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 condi-
tions, their performance and longevity will degrade. Continued operations utilizing dubious power sourcing could
damage your electric motor. If extension cords are necessary, pay particular attention 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 (Figure 25). 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 motor 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 insufficient
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.
