OPERATION
We recommend inserting the skate into the
Skate Clamp with the toe pointing to the right.
For most skate blades, this orientation allows for
the greatest flexibility in Grinding Ring height
adjustment. It is, however, acceptable to insert
the skate with the toe facing in either direction.
LOADING A SKATE
*For loading goalie skates and youth skates,
see the end of this section.
1 LOAD THE SKATE
Press and hold down the Clamp Lever to open the Skate Clamp.
With the skate toe pointing right and the laces tucked into the
skate, set the skate into the Skate Clamp slot letting the plastic
blade holder rest on top of the clamps. Center the skate blade
in the Skate Clamps. Release the Clamp Lever.
2 CLOSE THE PROTECTIVE SLOT COVERS
Move each Protective Slot Cover (A) in toward the skate to
close the gap between the skate and the cover. Use caution not
to allow the slot cover to exert excessive force on the skate as
this may aect the alignment of the sharpening.
