BX-44

SAFETY

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.

If using an extension cord make sure it is in good condition rst. 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 8 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. Non­slip 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

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.

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.

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 trigger switch; locking button is in the RELEASE position before plugging in a power tool.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories may increase the risk of per­sonal or by-stander injury.

NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL.

Serious injury could occur if a power tool is tipped, or if a cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

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 nished.

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:

WARNING

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.gov/SLTC/silicacrystalline/index.html

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

ADAPTER

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

WARNING

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 t the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a
qualied 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 qualied 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

WARNING

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of
Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A of FIGURE 1. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

• The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electrician. The

green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.

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

WARNING

Use only extensions cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identied 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.

• 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.

• 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.

WARNING

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

WARNING

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.

As an example, a fty (50) foot extension cord would require an AWG size of 12.

3. BLADE DRESSING:

Diamond Blades perform best when dressed. Over time
and use, diamonds on the outer edge of the blade will
become smooth or “glazed” over. This will reduce grinding

efciency and may cause the blade to “wander” or bend,

giving the illusion of an alignment problem. When this oc­curs, the blade will need to be dressed. The diamond blade
can be dressed using the MK Dressing Stick (Part# 152792)
and by following the steps below.

• Set up the BX-4 for operation (See Setup, Adjustment

and Operation section).

• Position Dressing Stick against Table Back stop.

• Note the Ruler measurement markings. Set the

Adjustable Cutting Guide to cut 1/16-inch strips.
Ruler/Stop to cut off approx. 1/16-inch strip. Position the
Dressing Stick (1) against the Adjustable Cutting Guide
and Ruler/Stop.

CAUTION

DO NOT FORCE TOOL! It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.

• Hold the Dressing Stick (1) in position. Depress the

Trigger to start (lock if desired).

• Lower the Cutting Head while pushing the

Dressing Stick toward the Blade.

• Repeat the cut stroke 8 times.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

6. PROTECTIVE WOODEN STRIP REPLACEMENT:

The protective wooden strip is provided to protect the Movable
Cutting Table from damage during operation. Over time, the
wooden strip will become grooved from use. A grooved wooden
strip will not support masonry during cutting, causing the blade
to “break through” the piece instead of performing a smooth cut
(MK Diamond Part # 156427).

Place Movable Cutting Table on work bench with Roller Wheels
facing upwards.

• Using a Phillips Screwdriver, remove the two Protective

Wooden Strip Retaining Screws.

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 exible 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 sufcient airow 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.
