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 THE ANGLE USING THE ANGLE GUIDE
Use the included angle guide (Fig. 6 - 1) to help set the correct angle
for sharpening your tools.
NOTE: The included angle guide is only accurate for relatively new
wheels (8" in diameter). As your wheel wears down, the angle
guide will become less accurate.
1. Use the angle guide (Fig. 6 - 1) to measure the bevel angle of your
workpiece (Fig. 6 - 2). Place the blade into each angle notch (Fig. 6 -
arrows) to find the notch that best fits the bevel of the blade.
2. Mount your workpiece in the appropriate sharpening jig.
3. Place the curved section of the angle guide against the grinding
wheel, with the edge of the jig associated with your chosen angle fac-
ing up. For example, if your grinding angle is 30 degrees, place the
guide as shown in Fig. 7. Adjust the position of the universal support
arm and of the jig so that one side of the workpiece edge lays flush
against the grinding wheel, and the other side lays flush against the
angle guide (Fig. 7).
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
1. Fill up the container with clean, cold water up to the "max water
level" indicated on the side of the reservoir (Fig. 8).
2. Check the water level before each use. Be sure the wheel is suf-
ficiently wet before beginning any grinding operations. New wheels
will tend to absorb water during their first use. Make sure that enough
water remains in the reservoir throughout the course of sharpening
operations.
TIP: Putting a magnet inside of the reservoir can collect metal
filings as they fall into the water. This helps to prevent build-up of
metal filings on the grinding wheel.
CAUTION! Never leave the grinding wheel stored in water, as
this will damage one side of the wheel, creating a lack of balance.
Empty the water reservoir after each operation.
