• Keep the ventilation vents of the drill bit sharpener clean at all times, if possible,
prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the drill bit sharpener housing to ensure it is
free from all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may
cause the drill bit sharpener to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the drill bit sharpener requires cleaning, do not use solvents
but a moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the drill bit sharpener;
never immerse any part of the drill bit sharpener into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the drill bit
sharpener will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use
as soon as this happens. They should be replaced
prior to recommencing use of the drill bit sharpener.
Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the drill
bit sharpener therefore not covered under warranty.
Continuing to use the drill bit sharpener when carbon
brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent
damage to the drill bit sharpener. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses
but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take the drill bit sharpener
to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost replacement.
Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the drill bit sharpener by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the drill bit sharpener.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing
air vents and/or the drill bit sharpener failing to
operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be replaced. Carbon
brushes should only be replaced by a qualied electrician or power tool repairer.
The tip of my drill bit is turning blue
This is because the drill bit is overheating. You will need to reduce the amount of
pressure and sharpening time, cool the drill bit in water in between sharpening.
One edge of my drill bit is longer than the other (the centre
point is therefore not centred)
One side of the drill bit has been sharpened for longer than the other. You will
need to sharpen the shorter side for more time and ensure that both sides
are always sharpened for the same amount of time using the same amount of
pressure.
My drill bit is broken (rather than blunt)
The DBS-3100 is not suitable for sharpening broken drill bits. A drill bit in this
condition will take a substantial amount of time to sharpen. Rough the drill bit into
shape rst using a bench grinder.
The motor turns on but the grinding stone does not spin
For this to happen the grinding stone assembly may not be aligned with the ats
on the shaft. Check that the grinding stone assembly is aligned with the ats on
the shaft (see maintenance section).
The drill bit sharpener does not start
The grinder stone may not be moving freely. Turn the grinding stone adjustment
knob anticlockwise to move the grinding stone downwards, this will allow the
grinding stone to turn freely.
