MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
3. BLADE DRESSING:
Diamond Blades perform best when dressed. Over time
and use, diamonds on the outer edge of the blade will
become smooth 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 oc-
curs, the blade will need to be dressed. The diamond blade
can be dressed using the MK Dressing Stick (Part# 152792)
and by following the steps below.
• Set up the BX-4 for operation (See Setup, Adjustment
and Operation section).
• Position Dressing Stick against Table Back stop.
• Note the Ruler measurement markings. Set the
Adjustable Cutting Guide to cut 1/16-inch strips.
Ruler/Stop to cut off approx. 1/16-inch strip. Position the
Dressing Stick (1) against the Adjustable Cutting Guide
and Ruler/Stop.
• Hold the Dressing Stick (1) in position. Depress the
Trigger to start (lock if desired).
• Lower the Cutting Head while pushing the
Dressing Stick toward the Blade.
• Repeat the cut stroke 8 times.
• Release the Trigger Switch. Raise the Cutting
Head. Allow the Blade to stop before
removing the Dressing Stick.
CAUTION
DO NOT FORCE TOOL! It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
