Partially fill a measuring cup with tap water.
Proceed to slowly pour approximately 3-6
ounces of water over the stone as shown
in Fig. C.
Do not have the Utility Sharpener operating
while pouring in the water. The rotating grinding
wheel will cause water to be splashed possibly
onto the electrical switch.
6. Plug in the power cord and turn ON the Utility Sharpener. Let the tool run for one
minute. This will let the grinding wheel absorb some of the water and provide a cool
grinding surface.
7. After one minute, turn OFF the Utility Sharpener and unplug the power cord from
the electrical receptacle. Proceed to fill the water trough until water is almost about
to spill out of the drainage opening in the rear of the Utility Sharpener.
8. The Water Trough will need to be refilled occasionally during extended sharpening
operations.
9. Return the front tool rest back into position.
10. Adjust both the front and rear tool rests until they are approximately 1/8" from the
grinding wheel. Firmly tighten all four of the lock knobs.
11. Carefully inspect the item to be sharpened. Look for any cracks or bends. If the item
is damaged, then discard it. DO NOT attempt to sharpen a damaged tool.
