The sharpener is fitted with an interlock which prevents the motor from starting unless one of the sharpening attachments is clipped into its operating position on the power unit.

2. Remove the drill clamp from the clamp holder and insert a drill bit such that the bit tip is either flush with the end face of the holder or protrudes a small amount. Grip the bit lightly with the drill clamp so that the drill can still move.

Turn the unit on and start sharpening. • Exert a slight downward pressure onto the bit and pivot. • The bit should be constantly moved during sharpening by swinging the bit holder back and forth as indicated by the arrows.

3. Take care that the sharpening angle matches the existing bevelled angle of the blade tip. This avoids removing too much metal unnecessarily and keeps the plane blade at its optimum cutting angle. 4. Adjust it to suit and set the angle securely using the adjusting knob.
MAINTENANCE Keep the surface of your sharpener free of grit, dirt, and grease. If cleaning, use soapy water or non-toxic solvents. Do not use petroleum based solvents. If the motor does not operate it needs to be serviced or replaced by a qualified technician.
