Read all safety warnings and instructions to prevent electric shock, fire, and serious injury.
Maintain a clean, well-lit workspace and keep bystanders away to prevent accidents.
Ensure proper grounding, use matching outlets, and avoid contact with wet surfaces or damaged cords.
Stay alert, use common sense, wear protective equipment, and prevent unintentional starting.
Use the correct tool for the job, do not force it, and perform maintenance as needed.
Ensure tool safety by having it serviced by a qualified person using identical replacement parts.
Be cautious of hot parts, maintain labels, and handle with care during sharpening operations.
Tools marked 'Double Insulated' feature special systems and do not require grounding for safety.
Select appropriate gauge, length, and rating for extension cords to ensure safe and effective operation.
A properly sharpened bit has a sharp center point and two sharp, equal cutting edges.
Place sharpener on a flat surface, insert bit, tilt, apply pressure, and run the unit for 5-10 seconds.
Address overheating, uneven edges, and long sharpening times by adjusting pressure and time.
Turn the adjusting knob to raise or lower the wheel for aggressive or finer grinding actions.
Remove screws, index head, and wheel assembly. Unscrew cylinder, pry washer, and pop out wheel base.
Keep the unit free of grit, dirt, and grease using soapy water or non-toxic solvents. Keep air vents clear.
Check alignment of adjustment cylinder flats with spindle flats if the wheel doesn't spin. Contact technician if motor doesn't turn on.
