9. Operation
Place the straight edge jig onto the support arm and position it so that the
tool edge is parallel with the honing wheel as shown in Fig 9.21. Turn the
wheel by hand as shown in Fig 9.22. If the black ink is removed evenly
across the tool's edge then the angle is correct.
Turn the machine on and apply the tool to the honing wheel until the
required finish is achieved.
Always hone any tool with the wheel moving away from it. If the
wheel is moving towards the tool the leather may be damaged.
In the Event of a Blockage or if the Machine Stalls
If the machine stalls due to the work piece or other foreign body becoming
trapped, switch the machine of immediately by pressing the red button on
the switch marked 'O'.
Locate and rectify the source of the blockage. If the work piece has become
trapped between the sharpening stone and the jig, the surface of the stone
may become damaged. It may be necessary to dress or true the stone before
attempting to use the stone again.
Check that the sharpening stone can be turned freely by hand before
attempting to re-start the machine. Re-start the machine by pressing the
green button on the switch marked 'I'.
In the Event of a Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, first switch the machine off by pressing the
red button marked 'O' on the switch.
Locate and rectify the source of the failure. If the fault is within the power
circuit of the workshop, there may be an underlying cause (circuit overload
etc.) that should be investigated by a qualified electrician before attempting
to restore the power source.
Once the power is restored, re-start the machine by pressing the button
marked 'I' on the switch.
