Unpacking and Preparation

Table

Built of rugged composite material, the one-piece table allows for the cutting of 14” (355mm) tile and diagonally cuts 10" (254mm). Frame

The structural steel frame of the MK-470 provides high strength and rigidity, while keeping weight to a minimum. The MK-470 is very portable at 29 pounds and an overall size of 28”L x 21”W x 25”H.

Water System

The water system of the MK-470 consists of a thermoplastic water reservoir and a submersible recirculating pump that connects to water tubes in the blade guard in order to provide a continuous supply of water to both sides of the blade. The water reservoir will not rust or peel and is easy to clean.

Carefully open carton. Remove the accessory pack. Lift the saw out of the carton by the pan, and place onto a level work surface. Open the accessory pack, and check each item with the contents list and illustration below, making certain that all items are accounted for and in good condition before discarding any packing material. If there are any missing or damaged parts, call our toll free number 1-(800)-421-5830 or (310) 539-5221 for instructions before proceeding with the assembly.

Initial Assembly

Warning

Do not operate saw until fully assembled.

Installing the Cutting Head

Remove the three screws (part# G4) from the mounting flange of the frame assembly and set them aside. From the Cutting Head, loosen the davies knob (part# B3) and remove the wing nut (part# B5) on the blade guard. Remove the blade guard and set it aside. With the Cutting Head, align the three screw holes of it”s casting (part# G1) with the mounting screws through the casting into the saw frame and retighten. Reinstall the blade guard and connect the vinyl water hose to the brass fitting located on the blade guard.

Installing the Blade

Loosen the davies knob (part# B3) and wing nut (part# B5) on the blade guard. Raise the blade guard to its highest position and retighten the wing nut. Loosen and remove the blade shaft nut (part# H6) & outside blade flanges (part# H5) and set them aside. Place the diamond blade onto the motor shaft against the inside flange. Ensure that the rotation arrow (stamped onto the steel core of the blade) points “counter-clockwise” when viewed from the blade side of the saw. Place the outer blade flange against the blade and tighten the blade shaft nut onto the threaded shaft. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Reposition the blade guard and tighten fittings. Attach splash guard to back of blade guard with wingscrew and washer provided.

Installing the Water Pump

The end of the water hose (lying in the water pan) has a 3/8” diameter vinyl sleeve attached. Affix this 3/8” sleeve onto the spout of the water pump, using the plastic adapter provided. Place the pump anywhere in the water pan. Route the water pump power cord through the slot in the side of the table as shown. Fill the pan with clean water, and ensure that the water level is above the intake port of the pump. It is very important to keep the pump’s intake port under water during operations. Any air introduced to the pump could cause an interruption of water flow. This pump is fully submersible, and you may wish to place it adjacent to your saw in a bucket of water to provide a continuous flow of clean water to your blade (this helps extend the life of both blade and pump). Connect the plug end of the water pump into the water pump receptacle located on the motor. The pump is activated by the ON/Off switch on the electric motor.
