MK Diamond PX-3 - Manual (Page 23)

Like most cutting instruments, a Diamond Blade performs best when it is dressed. Over time and use, diamonds
on the outer edge 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 occurs, 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 PX-3 for operation.
Position the Back Stop to accommodate the Dressing Stick (Figure 32).
Hold the Dressing Stick in position and depress the Trigger to start. Lock if desired.
Lower the Cutting Head while pushing the Dressing Stick into the Blade. ALWAYS allow the Blade to stop
moving before removing work.
Repeat the cut stroke eight times (Figure 33).
When the Blade is dressed, release the Trigger Switch and raise the Cutting Head. Allow Blade to stop moving
before removing the Dressing Stick.
