SAFETY Read and follow all safety, operating and maintenance instructions. Failure to read and follow these instructions could result in injury or death to you or others. Failure to read and follow these instructions could also result in damage and/or reduced equipment life. SAFETY MESSAGES: A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Each safety message is preceded by a safety alert symbol ( ) and one of three words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
SAFETY MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF Make the workshops kid proof by using padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys. 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. USE THE PROPER EXTENTION CORD If using an extension cord make sure it is in good condition first.
SAFETY 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.
SAFETY Hazard Symbols: ELECTRICAL SHOCK NEVER touch electrical wires or components while the engine is running. They can be sources of electrical shock which could cause severe injury or burns. on ROTATING PARTS Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate the engine with covers, shrouds, or guards removed. OVER SPEED (( )) NEVER tamper with the governor components or settings to increase the maximum speed.
SAFETY ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: 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 equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug.
SAFETY To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the saw to one side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop,” shown in FIGURE 2, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector, if an extension cord is used.
SAFETY SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS Safety labels are located according to Figures 1 through 3 below. The labels contain important safety information. Please read the information contained on each safety label. These labels are considered a permanent part of your saw.

SETUP, ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION 3. MK-112 Setup for Operation CAUTION 1. Before powering or starting, check for damage that could prevent this equipment from proper operation or performing it’s intended function. Check for binding and alignment of moving parts. Check for damaged, broken, or missing parts. 2. Verify the On/Off switch is in the OFF position. 3.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION 1. Cutting at 90°: CAUTION DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Thanks to the great versatility of the MK-112 Saw it is possible to carry out different types of cuts. Take the blade to the 0° position with the angle adjustment knobs (See PICTURE 6). Position the tile on the support table and make sure that it is properly positioned against the cutting guide.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION 2. Cutting 45° Miters: The MK-112 is designed with an adjustable Cutting Head for precision 45º Miter Cuts. CAUTION DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Take the blade to the 45° position with the Angle Adjustment Knobs (See picture 11). Lock the motor carriage at the max. cutting depth with the locking lever (See Picture 10). Picture 10 shows the proper way the machine should be used.
SETUP, ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION CLEANUP To clean the MK-112 Saw loosen the Side Knobs and remove the support tables. Side Knobs PICTURE 12 When necessary clean the water nozzles as shown in pictures 13 and 14.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE 1. Disassembly of the Diamond Blade: Loosen the two nuts on the blade guard and remove it. Remove the blade shaft nut with a 19mm wrench and a 5mm Allen key (provided). Turn on this direction to loosen Hold in place PICTURE 16 CAUTION THE BLADE SHAFT NUT HAS A LEFT-HAND THREAD. After dismantling the blade guard assembly, clean the blade flanges carefully and check them for wear. You can now install the new blade.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 3. Blade Dressing Like most cutting tools, a diamond blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use, diamonds on the outer edge of the blade will become smoothed or “glazed” over. This will reduce grinding efficiency 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.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING HAVE YOUR TOOL REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON This electric tool complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user. PROBLEM The machine does not work. CAUSE SOLUTION The power supply cable is damaged or not properly connected. Press the plug firmly into the power socket. Check the power supply cable.

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.
