MK-1600 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.
In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.
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
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber
For further information, consult the following sources:
http://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/consilic.html http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html
http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.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.
8
MK-1600 PRE-START
Before starting the machine, ALWAYS check that all guards are in position and correctly fitted. Check the machine for loose bolts before starting.
Keep area around the machine clear of obstructions which could cause persons to fall onto moving parts.
ALWAYS ensure that the machine is on level ground before using. Know how to stop the machine quickly in case of emergency. NEVER try to stop a moving blade with your hands.
• NEVER disconnect any “emergency or safety devices”. These devices are intended for
operator safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or
even death! Disconnection of any of these devices will void all warranties.
• Unauthorized equipment modifications will void all warranties. Manufacturer does not
assume responsibility for any accident due to equipment modifications.

MK-1600 OPERATION
Standard Operation
The MK-1600 is intended for industrial applications and operated by experienced professionals. The operator must be aware of the machine’s capabilities and limitations. It is the operators responsibility to use this machine under safe working conditions and conform with federal, state and local codes or regulations pertaining to safety, air, pollution, noise etc...
CAUTION
Prior to operation of this machine the operator must determine the existence and location of any subsurface features that may be hazardous or could damage the equipment, (i.e. electric cable, natural gas line etc...)
(A)
Use the Depth Control Wheel to raise the blade clear of the floor.
(B)
Attach the cooling supply hose to the Cooling Inlet, if wet cutting.
(C)
Lower the Pointer. Using a Straightedge, align the Pointer to the Blade see “Front Pointer Alignment.”
(D)
Layout and mark the area to be cut using a chalk-line. Align
Pointer and Blade to chalk-line.
(E)
Place Engine Master Switch in the “ON” Position.
(F)
Start the Saw using the Engine Start procedure in the engine manual.
(G)
With the engine running adjust the throttle approximately halfway.
(H)
For Wet Cutting, open Cooling
Supply Valve. Verify proper cooling flow and adjust the water flow on the Blade to a desired amount.
19
(I)
Move the throttle all the way forward to “Fast” position.
MK-1600 OPERATION
NOTE:
Perform the cut using only enough pressure to follow the original marked line. The saw has a natural tendency to pull towards the side on which the blade is mounted. To assure straight line cutting, apply pressure to the appropriate handle. If excessive pressure is required reduce the forward speed of the saw. Driving the saw too fast while cutting may cause the front wheels to lift causing the blade to cut at uneven depths. Do not attempt to steer the saw. Sudden and severe corrections can cause the blade to be damaged or broken.
(J)
Slowly lower the Blade until the desired level is reached and begin the cut.
(K)
When the cut is complete, raise the Blade completely out of the cut by turning Depth Control
Wheel counter-clockwise.
(L)
Close Cooling Supply Valve.
(M)
Move the Throttle Lever to lower blade speed.
(N)
Place Engine Master Switch in the OFF position. Place Fuel
Valve in the OFF position.
Refer to Engine Manual.
Dry Cutting
NOTE:
1. Ensure the blade you are using is clearly marked for dry cutting.
2. Check the condition of the air filter at least every four hours of operation.
Refer to Engine Manual for details.
Airflow helps to cool the blade during dry cutting. Cutting too deep with one pass, or exerting excessive forward or side pressure can be dangerous and cause damage. Step cut in increments of 2 inches or less, for best results. Thinner blades are especially advantageous when cutting dry.

MK-1600 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, non-abrasive 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.
