SECTION 4 SHARPENER ADJUSTMENTS
4.1 Hook Angle Adjustment
A multi-angle gauge, which includes angles for 10 degrees and 7 degrees, is provided to
check or adjust the hook angle. Refer to the Wood-Mizer
®
Blade Handbook for recom-
mended hook angle specifications for your sawing application.
NOTE: A blade should be installed before performing this adjustment.
See Section 5.2 Blade Installation.
Check the current hook angle:
1. Ensure that the switches are in the “off” position to avoid starting the motors when power
is applied.
2. Remove the cover by removing the wing nut on the top and sides of the cover.
3. Raise the sharpener head to avoid contacting the frame with the grinding wheel, if
installed.
NOTE: If a grinding wheel is installed, do not remove grinding wheel.
NOTE: If there is no grinding wheel installed, install a grinding wheel.
(See Section 3.4 Grinding Wheel Installation)
4. Connect power to the sharpener.
5. Use the jog switch to cycle the cam until it is at the highest point.
6. Install the gauge into the clamp, against the blade height bolts, with the correct angle
measuring edge toward the grinding wheel face. See Fig. 4-1.
7. Use the turnbuckle and/or the thumbnut to adjust the height of the grinding wheel until it
rests approximately halfway between the top and bottom of the angled edge of the gauge.
