34. Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only one edge and dressed up slightly on the other. Perform this sharpening process on both cutting ends of the blade. After sharpening, balance the blade by removing additional material.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a seperate electrical circuit for your tool. Your drill press is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 10Amp circuit and use a 10 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a 10 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use an extension cord heavy the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig.2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.

In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

Grinding

1. Adjust the tool rest to accommodate large or unusually shaped workpieces.
2. Always keep the workpiece moving across the face of the grinding wheel. Grinding continuously on the same spot on the wheel will cause grooves to be worn into the wheel. The wheel may crack or become damaged more easily, and grinding of other objects will be difficult.
3. If the workpiece becomes hot, dip it into water or oil to cool it.
4. Always grind on the face of the wheel (around the diameter), NEVER on the sides. Side pressure on grinding wheels can cause cracking and damage.
5. If the face of the grinding wheel is worn unevenly, becomes grooved, or is no longer smooth and flat, the wheel should be reshaped with a dressing tool (not supplied).
6. If the grinding wheel is no longer round, the wheel should be reshaped with a dressing tool or replaced.
7. If the surface of the wheel becomes loaded and dull with workpiece material, the wheel should be cleaned with a dressing tool.
8. After reshaping, always readjust the tool rests and spark arrestors.

Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never the side of it.

Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Use care when handling such materials.

SCISSORS
If possible, take the scissors apart to make the sharpening operation easier and safer.
Remove material only from the outside surface and work from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.

KNIVES
Remove metal from both faces of most knives, working from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.

SCREWDRIVERS
The end of a properly sharpened screwdriver will be a perfect rectangle, absolutely flat and perpendicular to the center line of the shank. The two sides and two faces will taper outward from the edge of the shoulder or shank. They should be flat with intersecting faces perpendicular. Hold each face of the screwdriver against the wheel to true it up, then ease the end straight into the stone to grind it true.
