MK-100 MAINTENANCE
Like most cutting instruments, a diamond blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use,
diamonds on the outer edge of the blade may 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. The diamond blade can be dressed
using the MK Dressing Stick (MK Diamond part number 152972) and by following the steps below.
Blade Dressing
(A)
Cut the Dressing Stick 7 or 8
times to dress the Blade.
When installing the Retaining Nut, DO NOT "cross-thread" and DO NOT over tighten the
nut.
Diamond Blade Change-out
(A)
Locate the Shaft Lock, push
button on the underside of the
Cutting Head.
(B)
Remove Retaining Nut and Outer
Flange, depress and hold the Shaft
Lock hold button and loosen.
NOTE:
(C)
Remove the Diamond Blade.
(D)
Install the new Diamond
Blade onto Blade Shaft.
Install Outer Flange and
Retaining Nut.
(E)
Verify the Blade is seated on
the Blade Shaft and direction
of rotation is correct.

Depress and hold the Shaft Lock
button and tighten Retaining Nut.
