WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched OFF and unplugged
from the power source before inspecting the unit, making adjustments, or changing accessories.
SETTING UP THE HAND PLANE BLADE
& CHISEL JIG
The hand plane blade and chisel jig included with your sharpener is
designed to assist in sharpening hand plane blades (such as those on
a bench plane; they are also called "irons") and chisels.
1. To install the blade or chisel in the jig, loosen the clamping knobs
on the jig (Fig. 4 - 1). Insert the body of the blade or chisel into the
clamp. Tighten the knobs, ensuring the blade or chisel is securely
mounted in the jig.
2. Follow the instructions on the next page for setting the sharpening
angle of the blade using the angle guide.
USING THE WORK SUPPORT ARM AS A WORK REST
If the workpiece is too large to be mounted into the jig, you can rest
it directly onto the support arm. This will help you balance the weight
of the workpiece and keep it steady.
OTHER SHARPENING JIGS
To sharpen knives, scissors and axes, you'll need a WEN Sharpening
Accessory Kit (Model 42704B or 42703) (Fig. 5), sold separately at
wenproducts.com. Follow the instructions included with your acces-
sory jig kit for assembly and operation.
To sharpen hand planer blades and chisels with extra precision,
you'll need a square edge jig (Model BG9910-076), sold separately
at wenproducts.com.
To use the square edge jig, slide it onto the universal work support.
Loosen the knobs and install the blade into the jig so that one end
of the blade is positioned against the end stop. Tighten the knobs to
secure the blade in place.
