An angled template, which includes angle for 15 degrees, is provided to check hook angle. Note: Refer to the Wood-Mizer Blade Handbook for recommended hook angle specifica- tions for your sawing application. See Figure 2-3. To adjust sharpener, place the provided template against the grinding wheel face.
Page 13
SETUP & OPERATION Sharpener Head Angle Adjustment See Figure 2-4. Next, loosen the sharpener head mounting bolt and nut in the motor mounting bracket. Loosen stop bolt and its jam nut. Tilt the sharpener head until you reach the desired angle. Hold the sharpener head in place while retightening the sharp- ener head mounting bolt and nut.
SETUP & OPERATION Sharpener Alignment Sharpener Alignment Use the provided LTAGA-PLCBN sharpener alignment tool as necessary to achieve accurate alignment between the blade clamp and the grinding wheel. IMPORTANT! Do not adjust the alignment tool bolts. They have been pre-calibrated at the factory to ensure accurate alignment results.

SETUP & OPERATION Sharpener Alignment 5. Loosen the clamp adjustment bolts. 6. Position the clamp assembly so the front clamp plate touches all three tool gauge points. Secure in position by tightening the clamp adjustment bolts. See Figure 2-6. Moving clamp plate CBNSH09 Clamp adjustment...
SETUP & OPERATION Grinding Wheel Installation Grinding Wheel Installation Use a Wood-Mizer approved grinding wheel. To install: 1. Push the START button on the control box and turn the FEED RATE dial up to rotate the cam. 2. Rotate the cam until the sharpener head is at its highest setting. Turn the FEED RATE all the way down and push the STOP button.
SETUP & OPERATION Blade Installation Blade Installation See Figure 2-7. Before installing a blade, push the cam motor START switch and turn the FEED RATE dial until the cam pivot bolt is at the 2 o'clock position. Cam Pivot bolt at 2 o’clock CBNSH10 FIG.

SETUP & OPERATION Face Grind Adjustment Face Grind Adjustment As you operate the sharpener, the cam will rotate causing the index arm to contact a tooth and push it to a position under the grinding wheel. The index arm can be adjusted to leave the tooth closer to or further from the grinding wheel so the tooth face is ground lighter or heavier.
SETUP & OPERATION Depth Grind Adjustment Depth Grind Adjustment Tooth height is determined by how much material is removed from the gullet of the blade. The depth/back grind knob controls how far the grinding head comes down and therefore controls the gullet grind. 1.
Page 22
SETUP & OPERATION Depth Grind Adjustment 4. Recheck the depth grind. 5. Check the depth grind two to three times during the blade sharpening. Make sure you see clean metal across the entire gullet of sharpened teeth each time. If you do not see clean metal, stop the sharpener and adjust the depth grind as necessary.
SETUP & OPERATION Oil Flow Adjustment Oil Flow Adjustment To activate blade oiling, open the oil flow control valve located on the oiler. 2.10 Feed Rate Adjustment The Feed Rate Dial controls cam speed. During the sharpening cycle, adjust cam speed to have as fast of a feed rate as possible without "burning"...
SETUP & OPERATION Operation Overview 2.13 Operation Overview Use the following steps to guide you through sharpener operation. 1. Adjust the blade clamp for the blade you will be sharpening. 2. Install a grinding wheel if necessary, then install the blade. 3.
Oil Level Periodically check the oil level and refill with oil as necessary. The oil level should be kept between 4.5 and 5 litres. Use only Wood-Mizer approved grinding oil. Filter the oil to remove metal shavings before reusing. ISHdoc112003...
Maintenance & Troubleshooting Sharpener Maintenance SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING Sharpener Maintenance Wipe the sharpener dry after each day's use. Keep clean of dirt, rust, and metal filings. Remove the clamp regularly and clean out any buildup that might cause it to not clamp the blade firmly.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting Blade Sharpening Tips Blade Sharpening Tips This section covers some of the common problem areas of blade sharpening. Before removing from the saw, clean the blade by running the waterlube on the blade for 15 seconds. This will remove most of the sap buildup that would otherwise have to be scraped off when it dries.
Alignment SECTION 5 ALIGNMENT Align the sharpener monthly to ensure quality performance. Also realign the sharp- ener as necessary (i.e., after the grinding wheel has been impacted by the index pawl). Alignment ISHdoc112003...
