For your safety!
These safety precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow
these safety precautions could result in injury to yourself and others.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all
times when the saw is being used.
For your own safety and protection, do not attempt to operate saw until
it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions, and
until you read and understand all safety and operating instructions.
• Take time to read and understand fully the owner’s manual instructions
and all safety labels attached to the saw.
• Use safety goggles and ear protectors that comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Wear a dust mask and protect your hands, face and body with the proper
clothing and safety equipment.
• Keep blade guard in place and in working order at all times.
• Be sure you have the right saw and blade for the work to be done.
Forcing a tool to do a job for which it was not designed invites hazardous
results and failure.
• Keep work area clean and safe to avoid accidents.
• Maintain a “safe zone” and keep all visitors at a safe distance from the
work area.
• Always make sure switch is “off” before plugging unit into electrical
power.
• Never leave saw running unattended. Turn power off.
• Be sure the saw is secure and stable before cutting. Never stand on the
saw or use the saw on an unsupported surface.
• Maintain all tools with care for the safest and best performance.
• Should any part of this saw be missing or damaged, or any component fail
to perform properly, shut off the saw and unplug the power source. Replace
the missing, damaged, and/or failed part before resuming operation.
• Always keep alert. Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use) to
cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
• THINK SAFETY The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes causing severe damage. Use safety
goggles to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

10 inch blade capacity, with built-in mitering
Saw Features
The lightweight portable MK-1070 is a powerful tile cutting machine that
features an innovative adjustable cutting head that allows the operator
to make precision miter cuts quickly and accurately. The MK-1070 is
uniquely designed with the professional in mind to meet all requirements
for any cutting application.
Motor
The MK-1070 features a powerful high torque right angle drive universal
motor with the following specifications:
120 volts/ 50/60 hertz, single phase
2000 watts 17.6 ampere
4300 r.p.m.
The heavy-duty pinion and gear wheel assembly is permanently lubricated
in the sealed right-angle gearbox.
Caution
Wear hearing protection when operating saw.
Cutting Head
The cutting head includes a built-in, fully adjustable, 45° miter system.
The 10 inch blade capacity yields a depth of cut of 3-3/4” or 2-1/8” at
a miter. The hinged blade guard allows easy blade changes, and is wide
enough to accept 8” profile wheels.
Conveyor Table
The rugged conveyor table assembly utilizes a linear guide bar and cover
that provides accurate, minimal maintenance operation, and increases
operator control and safety. The full movement of the table allows for the
cutting of 24” tile, or full diagonal cutting 18” tile.
Frame and Tower
The unitized structural steel frame and cast aluminum tower of the MK1070 provide maximum strength and rigidity, while keeping weight to a
minimum. The MK-1070 is very portable at 107 pounds and an overall
size of 41”L x 23”W x 18”H. Carrying handles are provided for ease of
transporting.
Water System
The water system of the MK-1070 consists of a thermoplastic water
reservoir and a submersible recirculating pump that connected 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
can be removed for easy cleaning.
