SHARPENING SKATES
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/sharpening.
Once you have loaded the skate, closed the Protective Slot Covers,
and adjusted the height of the Grinding Ring, you are ready to begin
sharpening.
To cancel the cycles at any point during the sharpening, press the
n
Cancel Button once. This will send the Carriage back to its home
position at the end of its current pass.
1 BEGIN SHARPENING
Press the
p
Play Button. Once the button has been pressed, it
will change from white to blue and the sharpening process will
begin.
Upon pressing the
p
Play Button, the Air Filter fan and grinding
motor will turn on. The Cycle Counter will flash with the current
cycle number until that cycle (out and in) is completed. The
sharpener will continue to run until all cycles have been performed.
At the completion of the final cycle, the end of sharpening is marked
by a “cycle complete” tone and the case LEDs will turn green. The
fan will continue to run for an additional 30 seconds after the final
cycle completes.
ADDITIONAL CYCLES
If additional cycles are desired, you can reset the cycle count and
press the
p
Play Button again.
If the Grinding Ring skips when it first makes contact with
the blade, the Grinding Ring’s height is too high. When
properly set, the Grinding Ring should make a smooth
transition onto the skate blade.
