OPERATION
SHARPENING GUIDE:
SCISSORS
If possible, take the scissors apart to make the sharpening operation easier and safer. Remove material only from
the outside surface and work from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
KNIVES
Remove metal from both faces of most knives, working from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
SCREWDRIVERS
The end of a properly sharpened screwdriver will be a perfectly flat rectangle, perpendicular to the center line of the
shank. The two sides and two faces will taper outward from the edge of the shoulder or shank. They should be flat
with perpendicular intersecting faces. Hold each face of the screwdriver against the wheel to true it up, then ease
the end straight into the stone to grind it true.
LAWN MOWER BLADES
Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only one side and dressed up slightly on the other. After sharpening,
be sure to balance the blade by removing additional material from the heavy end. There are a number of inexpensive
cone balancers on the market for this purpose. Unbalanced blades can cause serious crank shaft damage to your
lawn mower. Always remove spark plug wires or battery from the mower before servicing the blades to prevent ac-
cidental startups.
DRILL BITS
Use the drill bit tool rest to provide angled support to drill bits during grinding operation. The angled divot running
through the rest allows for a cradle for drill bits during sharpening operations.
Before using, check to make sure parts are not damaged, missing, or worn. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the sharpener’s operation. If
any of these conditions exist, do not use until parts are replaced or the sharpener is properly repaired. Frequently
blow or vacuum dust from all surfaces and the motor housing.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before
adjusting or performing maintenance or lubrication work on the sharpener.
WARNING! Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Repairs should
be done by a qualified service technician only.
1. Regularly check the tool and use a soft brush to remove accumulated dust. Wear safety goggles to protect your
eyes while cleaning.
2. If the body of the grinder needs cleaning, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used.
Do not use alcohol, petrol or other similar cleaning agents. Do not make contact with the grinding wheels with any
damp cloth.
3. Always make sure the eye shields are transparent and not blocking the view of the grinding wheel.
