Adjust the grinding stone down 1 to 2
revolutions of the hand wheel for smaller
reels and 4 or more revolutions for larger
reels. Make sure that the relief angle does
not exceed 45°. This will give
approximate the correct relief angle for
most reels. You may need to adjust up or
down depending on your reels.
This procedure is usually only required
when setting up the first reel of a particular
model or size.
With the grinding head off the left end
of the reel, rotate the indexing collar and
move the grinding head on to the reel so
that the blade goes between the indexing
stop and the blade stop.
Squeeze the blade and blade stop
together while pulling the blade against
the grinding stone.
