implements, tool edge, etc.
Hold the sharpener at a slight angle to the blades. Stroke the sharpener along the cutting edge from heel
to tip in direction of indicator arrows. (See Fig. 5)
Angle between the edge being sharpened and ceramic rod D should be approximately 20 degrees. (See Fig.
6) Always maintain the angle and stroke this sharpener repeatedly along each side of the edge until the
desired sharpness is obtained. Maintain constant pressure and follow the contour of the blade as you
stroke. For those single- beveled blades such as blades of scissors, hedge shears, pruner & mowers, only
sharpen the side of each blade that has a bevel.
E- AXE SHARPENING INSTRUCTION:
1. Secure axe, hatchet or machete blade by clamping it in a vise with cutting edge exposed.
2. Position the head of the sharpener over one end of the blade. Then lower the sharpener down so that
the cutting edge is resting in the bottom of the V-Notch slot E. Hold the sharpener as parallel to the
cutting edge as possible. Then apply moderate downward pressure to pull the sharpener across the
cutting edge from one end to the other in direction of indicator arrows. (See Fig. 7) Maintain constant
pressure and follow the contour of the blade as you pull.
3. Repeat above action until blade is sharp. Always pull the sharpener across the blade from one end to
the other, never back and forth.
MAINTENANCE:
1. Clean the exterior with a damp soft cloth.
2. Oil or other lubricating liquid is not necessary.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves and eye protection when sharpening a blade with this product. Always keep
all fingers behind the finger guard and never place free hand on top of the sharpener during use.
