Electrical requirements, Installing the water pump – MK Diamond MK1070 User Manual
Page 9

The MK-1070 tile saw is wired for 120V, single phase operation, and
draws 17.6 amps at 120V. This is a large load and if the machine is
operated on any circuit that is already close to it’s capacity, the circuit
breaker may be tripped. If this occurs, eliminate other loads from the
circuit. A separate circuit protected by a 20 amp breaker is ideal. If other
loads do not exist and power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspected
by a qualified electrician.
This equipment must be grounded.
The MK-1070 is equipped with a grounded power cord and plug. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a properly grounded,
ground- type receptacle. If used, extension cords must be three conductor
type with three prong ground type plugs and receptacles. Use only UL
listed cords and connect the saw as close to the power source as possible.
Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged. Use the
following chart for cord selection.
Length of extension Cord
up to 50’
up to 75’
over 75’
Minimum Wire Gauge
#14
#12
#10
Notice: Use of undersize extension cords results in low voltage to the
motor, which can result in burnout and premature failure. MK warns that
equipment returned to us, showing signs of being run in a low voltage
condition through the use of undersized extension cords, with be repaired
or replaced totally at the customer’s expense, regardless of current
warranty condition.

Screw the water pump hose adapter onto the water pump. Slide one end
of the water hose onto the adapter and place the pump in the water pan
cradle. Slide the other end of the water hose onto the fitting at the back
of the blade guard. Plug the water pump into the three-prong receptacle
on the motor. Fill the pan with clean water, insuring that the water level
is above the pump intake to insure proper operation. The water pump is
completely submersible, has sealed bearings and is thermally protected.
Cold weather and low voltage may cause the pump not to function
properly. Be sure that the pump is clear of sediment before operation.
See the pump manual separately enclosed for all pump information.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and a grounding type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a
properly grounded, ground-type receptacle.
•Do not use this pump in flammable liquid.
•Do not remove grounding pin from electrical cord.
•Do not connect to any voltage other than that shown the pump.
Notice:
Do not run the pump dry. Also be sure to disconnect and remove
the water pump when cutting dry.
