SELECTING THE NUMBER
OF CYCLES
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/cycle.
When the sharpener moves the Grinding Ring out and back over the
skate blade once, it is called a cycle.
The Sparx™ Sharpener comes set automatically to a standard
4
four cycles with all standard Radius Ring™ and FIRE Ring™ Grinding
Rings. We recommend trying four cycles to start and moving higher
or lower as needed. Typically, we have found that four cycles will
handle normal wear and tear (and even small nicks) from one to four
hours of skating between sharpenings. For brand-new steel or when
changing Grinding Ring hollow depths, we recommend using the
1
10-cycle setting to ensure you completely reset the skating surface
of the blade. See Sharpening New Steel at the end of the Operation
section.
