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 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. The Diamond Blade can be
dressed using the MK Dressing Stick (part# 152972) and by following the steps below.
(A)
Setup the MK-660 Saw for
operation (see Setup, Adjust-
ment and Operation)
(B)
Set the adjustable Cutting
Guide to cut a 1/16-strip
(C)
Position the Dressing Stick
(D)
Turn the motor ON
(E)
Verify flow on both sides of
the blade (See Maintenance
Section to adjust flow)
(F)
Cut the Dressing Stick
seven (7) or eight (8) times
to dress the Blade
(G)
Ensure the ON/OFF switch is
in the OFF position
