Assembly Stand Assembly Stand Assembly The stand assembly consists of one tray assembly, three long stand legs and three short stand legs. It may be set at sitting height or standing height. See Figure 2-1. For sitting setup, insert the three long stand legs into the sockets in the top of the stand tray.
CAUTION! Use the 110 Volt AC output to power the coolant pump of the Wood-Mizer Automatic Sharpener Attachment only. Using the output for other purposes will result in machine damage. 1. Plug the hole in the oil pan with the rubber stop supplied in the bag assembly.

Assembly Pump Installation See Figure 2-2. Magnets Pump Plate SH0031B FIG. 2-2 3. Plug the pump into the top cord on the converter box. Plug the converter into a grounded receptacle. 4. Oil is pumped from the oil pan through the oil flow control valve to the grind area. IMPORTANT! Be sure the rubber stop is properly installed before filling the oil pan.

Assembly Pump Installation 5. For blades with 1 1/8” tooth spacing: An oil trough extension and longer mounting bolts are supplied. Remove the existing oil trough mounting bolts. Place the extension plate between the existing oil trough and mounting plate. Use the longer 2 1/4” bolts to reassemble the trough.
Assembly Electrical Installation Electrical Installation See Figure 2-4. Slide the control box into the slots under the oil pan. Make electrical con- nections to the control box as shown. FIG. 2-4 The following is a test for the automatic control mechanisms of the sharpener. 1.
Assembly Blade Support Installation Blade Support Installation The blade support assembly includes three blade support arms and three blade support guide assemblies. See Figure 2-5. Lubricate the threaded ends of the three blade support arms with grease. Insert a blade support arm in each of the three threaded holes located on the vertical plate of the sharpener.
Page 15
Assembly Blade Support Installation See Figure 2-6. Each guide assembly includes a blade support with post, a blade support without post, two bolts, a keps nut and a wing nut. Join a blade support guide assembly onto the ends of the left and rear blade support arms with posts facing outward as shown. Bolt from the hexed side of the guide assembly.
Page 16
Assembly Blade Support Installation See Figure 2-7. The guide assembly for the right support arm also includes a plastic roller and lock washer. Place the plastic roller and lock washer over the blade support post. Join the guide assembly onto the end of the blade support arm, post facing inward as shown.
Assembly Sharpener Head Angle Adjustment Sharpener Head Angle Adjustment NOTE: The grinder head is adjusted and pinned at 15 degrees. If you dissassemble the grinder head or clamp assembly, the head angle will need to be checked. Remove the roll pin and follow the procedure below. If necessary, drill a new hole to reinstall the pin.
Page 18
Assembly Sharpener Head Angle Adjustment See Figure 2-9. Next, loosen the bolt in the vertical plate of the sharpener. Tip the sharp- ener head until the full length of the motor housing contacts the full length of the template edge. Hold the sharpener head in place while retightening the bolt in the vertical plate. After tightening the bolt, recheck the head angle with the template.
Assembly Sharpener Alignment Sharpener Alignment Use the LTAGA alignment tool as necessary to achieve accurate alignment between the blade clamp and the grinding wheel. IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to adjust the tool gauge points. They have been pre-calibrated at the factory to ensure accurate alignment results.
Page 20
Assembly Sharpener Alignment 5. Use a 3/4” wrench to loosen the bottom clamp adjustment bolt. 6. Position the clamp assembly so the front clamp plate touches all three tool gauge points. Secure in position by tightening the clamp adjustment bolt. See Figure 2-11.
Assembly Grinding Wheel Installation Grinding Wheel Installation Before installing a new grinding wheel, push the START button on the control box and turn the FEED RATE dial up to rotate the cam. Continue operation of the cam until the sharpener head is at its lowest setting. Turn the FEED RATE all the way down and push the STOP button.
Assembly Blade Rest Bolt Adjustment Blade Rest Bolt Adjustment Standard Blade Clamp The blade rest bolts can be adjusted for 1”, 1 1/4”, or 1 1/2” wide blades (see below for 1 3/4” and 2” blades). Remove the nut on each rest bolt and move the bolts to one of the three sets of holes in the clamp plates.
Assembly Optional Blade Clamp Optional Blade Clamp A wider clamp is available separately (Kit #060190) that can be adjusted for 1”, 1 1/4”, 1 1/2”, 1 3/4” or 2” wide blades. Remove the nut on each rest bolt and move the bolts to one of the five sets of holes in the clamp plates.
Assembly Blade Installation Blade Installation See Figure 2-15. Before installing a blade, push START and turn the FEED RATE dial until the cam pivot bolt is at the 2 o'clock position. FIG. 2-15 Uncoil a blade and position above the three support assemblies around the sharpener. Check to be sure the teeth on the portion of blade that will be under the grinding wheel point to the right as you face the sharpener.
Page 25
Assembly Blade Installation See Figure 2-17. Position the blade outside the right blade guide wheel. FIG. 2-17 Holding the blade with your left hand, lift the sharpener head with your right thumb and the indexing arm with your right fingers (in that order). Press the blade between the clamping plates.
Sharpener Adjustments Overview Of Adjustments SECTION 3 SHARPENER ADJUSTMENTS Overview Of Adjustments At this point in the instructions, you should have your sharpener completely assembled and operational. The sharpener head should be set at the proper hook angle. At this point in the instructions, you should have: your sharpener completely assembled and operational.
Sharpener Adjustments Face Grind and Depth/Back Grind Adjustments Face Grind and Depth/Back Grind Adjustments It is important to know that face grind and depth/back grind adjustments are related. Adjusting one WILL affect the other. By design, face grind increases as tooth depth increases.
Page 28
Sharpener Adjustments Face Grind and Depth/Back Grind Adjustments See Figure 3-2. The depth/back grind knob can be adjusted to grind the tooth gullet and back at the desired depth. FIG. 3-2 To set up a blade for grinding: 1. Adjust face grind AND depth/back grind so that the wheel is close to, but not contacting, the tooth.
Page 29
Sharpener Adjustments Face Grind and Depth/Back Grind Adjustments 4. Slowly advance the cam until the cam is at its lowest point. NOTE: The cam has a “dou- ble grind” configuration. The cam will lower the head for grinding, lift slightly, then drop back down for light grind.
Sharpener Operation Operation SECTION 4 SHARPENER OPERATION Operation WARNING! Always wear eye protection when operating the sharpener. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. After the sharpener has been assembled and properly adjusted, you are ready to sharpen the blade.
Operation Magnetic Shut-off Magnetic Shut-off See Figure 4-1. The shut-off sensor is located to the right of the blade clamp assembly. When passed over by a magnet, it automatically shuts down the grinder and cam motors of the LTAGA. FIG. 4-1 To install, take an orange-painted magnet from the bag assembly.
Operation Blade Removal Blade Removal Blade removal is similar to blade installation. First, turn the feed rate dial all the way down. Then push the start button. Turn the feed rate dial until the cam pivot bolt is at the 2 o'clock position.
