SHARPENING NEW STEEL
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/newsteel.
Before loading new steel, take a dark colored
marker and fill in three strips (1 inch in length
the full width of the blade) on the toe, heel, and
middle of the bottom surface of the skate blade.
To ensure you have sharpened the entire blade,
inspect the blade after running the cycles and if
the sharpening is complete, all of the marker on
the skating surface will be removed.
1 LOAD THE SKATE
After applying the marker (A in the below example), follow the
instructions in “Loading a Skate” in the Operation section of
this manual.
2 ADJUST GRINDING RING HEIGHT
Follow the instructions in “Adjust the Grinding Ring Height” in
the Operation section of this manual.
3 SELECT 1 CYCLES
Using the
l
Left and
r
Right Buttons, select
1
on the
Cycle Counter.
4 CONTINUE THE SHARPENING PROCESS
Refer to the Operation section of the manual.
5 INSPECT BLADE SURFACE
If the marker is gone (C in the example below), you have
successfully set your edges. If there is still marker left on the
blade (B), continue running cycles until it is completely gone.
Due to variations in blade thickness, steel quality, and edge
height dierence, some new steel may require fewer than 10
cycles, and some more. If you are using our XG Grinding Rings,
the cycle count will be lower.

Refer to “Adjusting the Grinding Ring Height” in the Operation
section of the manual using the figure below as your guide
where the desired contact point is A, contact point B is too
