  • Page 8: Section 3: Operation

    SECTION 3: OPERATION First Use • Your cabinet scraper ships with a coating of rust-inhibiting oil to ensure it arrives to you in good condition, but this must be removed prior to use. • Remove the blade by backing off the blade adjustment thumbscrew, then loosen the blade clamp screws and lift the blade out, taking care with the sharp edges of the blade.

  • Page 9: Burnishing

    3. Burnishing: The final step is to burnish the edge using either a store-bought burnisher or an improvised one – a nail punch shaft is a reasonable substitute. A drop of oil wiped along the burnisher will help. Start with a few moderate strokes on the flat face of the blade to draw the edge.

  • Page 10: Setting The Blade

    Setting the Blade • Loosen the blade clamp thumbscrews so that there is ample room behind the clamp bar, and back off the blade adjusting thumbscrew so that it does not protrude through the body of the tool. • With the tool sitting on a flat surface install the blade, being careful to avoid damaging the burr.

  • Page 11: Taking A Shaving

    Taking a Shaving The MTC Cabinet Scraper is designed to be used on the push stroke. Place your thumbs either side of the blade adjustment thumbscrew, and the palms of your hands on the cork handles. Your thumbs and index fingers can be used to feel the cut, with your palms providing most of the thrust.

  • Page 12: Section 4: Maintenance

    SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE Maintenance • After each use, disassemble the cabinet scraper and clean off accumulated dirt, grease, resin and rust, especially from the threads and sole. An old toothbrush is ideal for this, however please check that your spouse has finished with it first.

  • Page 13: Section 5: Troubleshooting

    SECTION 5: TROUBLESHOOTING Tool Will Not Cut • The blade may not be protruding from the sole – advance the blade using the adjusting thumbscrew, or reset the blade • The burr may be turned too far so that it is riding on the curved back of the burr - pick-up the burr as described in Sharpening Hard to Push Tear-out occurs when the wood splits ahead of the blade.
