This equipment should not be operated by persons under 18 years of age.
NEVER operate this equipment when not feeling well due to fatigue, illness or taking
medicine.
NEVER operate this equipment under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and safety decals when they become
difcult to read.
ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored
in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
In order to prevent injury, keep guards in place and in working order at all times.
EXPLOSIVE FUEL!
Gasoline is extremely ammable, its vapors can explode if ignited; store only in approved
containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied buildings and away from sparks or ames. Do not
ll the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. Spilled fuel could ignite if it contacts hot
parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use gasoline
as a cleaning agent. Never operate the machine in an explosive atmosphere.
LETHAL EXHAUST GASES
Engine exhaust gasses contain poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless colorless gas
that can cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine
in a closed building or conned area.
ENGINE OVER-SPEED
Never tamper with the governor components or settings to increase the maximum speed of
the machine. Severe personal injury and/or equipment damage could result if the equipment is operated speeds above design maximum.

on
ACCIDENTAL STARTS
Before starting the engine, be sure the ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF” position to prevent
accidental starting. Place the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position 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 shrouds or guards removed.
HOT PARTS
Engine components can become extremely hot from operation. To prevent severe burns, do
not touch these areas while the engine is running, or immediately after it is turned off. Never
operate the engine with heat shields removed.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES
Safety glasses should always be worn when working around power tools. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses and may not prevent eye injury; they are NOT
safety glasses.
ALWAYS USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Exhaust gases may be harmful if inhaled. Do not operate gas-powered equipment in
enclosed spaces. Respiratory protection should be worn when operating gas powered
equipment.
ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION
To reduce the possibility of hearing loss, always use hearing protection when operating
equipment.
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 operate equipment in dangerous environments. Always keep the work area well lighted.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY
All visitors and children should be kept a safe distance from work area.
MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF
Make the workshops kid proof by using padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

Page 7
MK-X1318 SAFETY
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.
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.
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 sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Always follow maintenance instructions for lubricating and when changing accessories.
SHUTDOWN TOOL
The saw should always be shutdown before servicing or when changing accessories such as blades,
bits, cutters, etc...
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.
NEVER LEAVE 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.
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 func-
tion. Always check moving parts for proper alignment or binding. Check for broken parts, 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.

MK-X1318 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 lter out microscopic particles.

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 modications will void all warranties. Manufacturer does not
assume responsibility for any accident due to equipment modications.
• NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not recommended by MK Diamond for
this equipment. Damage to the equipment and/or injury to user may result.

Standard Operation
The MK-X1318 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 oor.
(B)
Attach the water hose to the
Cooling Inlet, if wet cutting.
20
(C)
Lower the Pointer, ensuring the
Pointer is aligned to the blade. See
“Front Pointer Alignment.”
Page 21
MK-X1318 OPERATION
(D)
Layout and mark the area to
be cut using a chalk-line. Align
Pointer and Blade to chalk-line.
(G)
With the engine running adjust
the throttle approximately
halfway.
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.
(E)
Place Engine Master Switch in
the “ON” Position.
(H)
For Wet Cutting, open Cooling
Supply Valve. Verify proper cool-
ing ow and adjust the water ow
on the Blade to a desired amount.
(F)
Start the Saw using the Engine Start
procedure in the Engine Manual.
(I)
Move the throttle to the
“Fast” position.
(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.
21
(L)
Close Cooling Supply Valve.
Page 22
MK-X1318 OPERATION
(M)
Move the Throttle Lever to

(N)
Dry Cutting
NOTE:
1. Ensure the blade you are using is clearly marked for dry cutting.
2. Check the condition of the air lter at least every four hours of operation.
Refer to Engine Manual for details.
Airow 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.

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 sufcient airow 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.
