Cleaning Your Drill Doctor
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, shake accumulated
drill bit grinding dust from behind the Wheel Cover into a
disposable container. Remove dust particles around the
wheel with a small, dry brush. Dispose of the container
and drill bit dust in a safe and environmentally approved
manner. With a dry cloth wipe the inside and outside of
the Sharpening Port to remove any grinding dust that may
have accumulated. A standard 1" vacuum hose works
equally well.
You can also use the Grit Tube attachment as shown on
page 16.
Cleaning the Chuck
With compressed air, blow out the Chuck from the Knob
end or brush out with a small, dry brush.
Determining if Replacing the Diamond
Sharpening Wheel is Required
You can double the life of the Diamond Sharpening Wheel
by reversing it before you replace it. The Sharpening
Wheel supplied with the Drill Doctor is designed to give
you long and trouble free service, with an average of more
than 200 sharpenings for 3/32" to 1/2" drill bits.
The Diamond Sharpening Wheel may need to be changed if:
• Sharpened drill bits burn or turn blue no matter how fast
or slow you rotate the Chuck.
• When touching the Sharpening Wheel (with the machine
unplugged), the lower portion feels too smooth
(nonabrasive).
• When sharpening the drill bit, it takes too many half-
turns to sharpen.
Contact the store or dealer where you purchased the Drill
Doctor, or contact Drill Doctor directly, to purchase a
replacement Sharpening Wheel.
