GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND HAZARD SYMBOLS:

In order to prevent injury, the following safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times!

Safety Precautions:

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.

In order to prevent injury, keep guards in place and in working order at all times.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the power tool before it is turned on.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered work areas and benches invite accidents.

DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.

Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations nor expose them to rain. Always keep the work area well lighted.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.

All visitors and children should be kept a safe distance from work area.

MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF.

Make the workshops kid proof by using padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL.

A power tool will do a job better and safer operating at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL.

Do not force a tool or an attachment, to do a job that it was not designed to do.


SAFETY

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.

If using an extension cord make sure it is in good condition first. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage that will result in a loss of power and overheating. TABLE 1, Page 7 shows the correct AWG size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.

The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may be caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.

Safety glasses should always be worn when working around power tools. In addition, a face, dust mask or respirator should be worn if a cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses and may not prevent eye injury - they are NOT safety glasses.

SECURE WORK.

Clamps or a vise should be used to hold work whenever practical. Keeping your hands free to operate a power tool is safer.

DO NOT OVERREACH.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times by not overreaching.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.

Keep tools clean for the best and safest performance. Always follow maintenance instructions for lubricating, and when changing accessories.

DISCONNECT TOOLS.

Power tools should always be disconnected before servicing or when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. on

Make sure the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position before plugging in a power tool.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories may increase the

NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL.

Serious injury could occur if a power tool is tipped, or if a cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. risk of personal or by-stander injury.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.

Before using a power tool, check for damaged parts. A guard or any other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine it would operate properly and perform its intended function. Always check moving parts for proper alignment or binding. Check for broken parts and mountings and all other conditions that may affect the operation of the power tool. A guard, or any damaged part, should be properly repaired or replaced.

DIRECTION OF FEED.

Always feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation. A blade or cutter should always be installed such that rotation is in the direction of the arrow imprinted on the side of the blade or cutter.

NEVER LEAVE A TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED – TURN POWER OFF.

Do not leave a tool until it comes to a complete stop. Always turn a power tool OFF when leaving the work area, or, when a cut is finished.


SAFETY

Hazard Symbols:

ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

Never touch electrical wires or components while the motor is running. Exposed, frayed or worn electrical motor wiring can be sources of electrical shock that could cause severe injury or burns.

ACCIDENTAL STARTS! on

Before plugging the equipment into an electrical outlet, be sure the On/Off Switch is in the OFF position to prevent accidental starting. Unplug the power tool before performing any service operation.

ROTATING OR MOVING PARTS!

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate a power tool with covers, shrouds, or guards removed.

Sawing and drilling generates dust. Excessive airborne particles may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection suitable to the material being sawed or drilled; See OSHA (29 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety and Health Act covering Speed, Safety Guards, Flanges, Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules,

Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead, from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products and

• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber

For further information, consult the following sources: http://www.osha-slc.gov/sltc/silicarystalline/index.html http://www.oehha.org/prop65/out_of_date/6022kLstA.html

Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.


SAFETY

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times!

In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician

• Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

The equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal

• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded

• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug

• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks similar to the one shown in

Sketch B of Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks similar to the plug illustrated in

Sketch A of FIGURE 1. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same

(A)

FIGURE 1

(B) configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

If permanently connected, this tool should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to a system having an equipment-grounding conductor.

NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the Saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this measure of safety.


SAFETY

To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the Block Saw to one side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop," shown in FIGURE 2, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source.

Power

Cord

Motor

Saw

The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector, if an extension cord is used. This method of positioning the cord prevents the travel of water along the power cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.

Drip

Loop

If the plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

Floor

FIGURE 2

Use only extensions cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cords away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnection the product form the extension cord.

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet hands.

Use of undersize 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 customers expense. There will be no warranty claim.

To choose the proper extension cord,

• Locate the length of extension cord needed in TABLE 1 below.

• Once the proper length is found, move down the column to obtain the correct AWG size required for that length of extension cord.

THEORY

THEORY OF DIAMOND BLADES:

Diamond blades do not really cut; they grind the material through friction. Diamond crystals, often visible at the leading edge and sides of the rim/segment, remove material by scratching out particles of hard, dense materials, or by knocking out larger particles of loosely bonded abrasive material. This process eventually cracks or fractures the diamond particle, breaking it down into smaller pieces. As a result, a diamond blade for cutting soft, abrasive material must have a hard metal matrix composition to resist this erosion long enough for the exposed diamonds to be properly utilized. Conversely, a blade for cutting a hard, nonabrasive material must have a soft bond to ensure that it will erode and expose the diamonds embedded in the matrix. These simple principles are the foundation of “controlled bond erosion”.

Types of Cutting:

There are two basic types of cutting-Dry or Wet. The choice of which type of blade to use depends on:

• The requirements of the job

• The machine/tool utilizing the diamond blade

• The preference of the operator

In the case of DRY cutting, the overwhelming popularity and quantity of hand-held saws and the flexible nature of MK Diamond blades to professionally handle most ceramic, masonry, stone and concrete materials, make the DRY cutting blade a very attractive tool. When using a DRY blade, the user must be aware of distinct operating practices to ensure optimum performance. DRY cutting blades require sufficient airflow about the blade to prevent overheating of the steel core. This is best accomplished by shallow, intermittent cuts of the material with periods of “free-spinning” (for several seconds) between each cut, to maximize the cooling process.

For WET cutting applications, MK has the exact blade to compliment both the material to be cut and the wet cutting machine to be used. During cutting operations, liberal amounts of water act as a coolant to support the cutting effectiveness and longevity of the WET blade. Additionally, using water adds to the overall safety of cutting operations by keeping the dust signature down.
