Initial A s s e m b l y
Loosen the davies knob (part# B3) and wing nut (part# B5) on the blade guard. Raise the
blade guard to its highest position and retighten the wing nut. Loosen and remove the
blade shaft nut (part# H6) & outside blade flanges (part# H5) and set them aside. Place
the diamond blade onto the motor shaft against the inside flange. Ensure that the rotation
arrow (stamped onto the steel core of the blade) points “counter-clockwise” when viewed
from the blade side of the saw. Place the outer blade flange against the blade and tighten
the blade shaft nut onto the threaded shaft. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Reposition the blade
guard and tighten fittings. Attach splash guard to back of blade guard with wingscrew and
washer provided.
Installing the Blade
Remove the three screws (part# G4) from the mounting flange of the frame assembly and set them aside. From the Cutting Head,
loosen the davies knob (part# B3) and remove the wing nut (part# B5) on the blade guard. Remove the blade guard and set it
aside. With the Cutting Head, align the three screw holes of it”s casting (part# G1) with the mounting screws through the casting
into the saw frame and retighten. Reinstall the blade guard and connect the vinyl water hose to the brass fitting located on the
blade guard.
Installing the Cutting Head
The end of the water hose (lying in the water pan) has a 3/8” diameter vinyl sleeve attached. Affix this 3/8” sleeve onto the
spout of the water pump, using the plastic adapter provided. Place the pump anywhere in the water pan. Route the water
pump power cord through the slot in the side of the table as shown. Fill the pan with clean water, and ensure that the water
level is above the intake port of the pump. It is very important to keep the pump’s intake port under water during operations.
Any air introduced to the pump could cause an interruption of water flow. This pump is fully submersible, and you may wish
to place it adjacent to your saw in a bucket of water to provide a continuous flow of clean water to your blade (this helps
extend the life of both blade and pump). Connect the plug end of the water pump into the water pump receptacle located on
the motor. The pump is activated by the ON/Off switch on the electric motor.

Installing the Water Pump
Table
Built of rugged composite material, the one-piece table allows for the cutting of 14” (355mm) tile and diagonally cuts 10" (254mm).
Frame
The structural steel frame of the MK-470 provides high strength and rigidity, while keeping weight to a minimum. The MK-470 is very portable at
29 pounds and an overall size of 28”L x 21”W x 25”H.
Water System
The water system of the MK-470 consists of a thermoplastic water reservoir and a submersible recirculating pump that connects to water tubes
in the blade guard in order to provide a continuous supply of water to both sides of the blade. The water reservoir will not rust or peel and is easy
to clean.
