1. With the grinder disconnected from the power source, setup the grinder for the operation
intended. Install the desired grinding belt, set the work rest, provide adequate work area,
lighting and ventilation.
2. Set the head to the desired angel from horizontal to vertical as needed.
3. Start the grinder and allow the belt to come to full speed.
4. Verify that the belt is tracking centered on the contact wheel.
5. Grasp the material firmly and is a way that provide positive operator control and leverage
and keeps hands and fingers away from the grinding belt.
6. Draw the work piece across the grinding belt in a smooth even manner using only enough
pressure into the grinding belt to allow the belt to remove material.
SHARPENING
Sharpening may to completed by use of optional work rest attachments or by careful an well
practiced freehand operation.
Mower Blades
1. Free the blade of any grease, dirt, or clippings prior
to sharpening.
2. Check the blades to make sure they are not bent or
cracked.
3. Using a blade balancer, check the blade for its balance.
4. When sharpening start by grinding the light end of the blade and then follow with the heavy
end. Move the blade in one direction only. Based upon a standard mower blade, the
direction will be from left to right.
5. Rest blade on table, gently move blade into rotating wheel and draw the blade to the right.
Multiple passes are required to achieve the edge desired. Minimal pressure to the contact
wheel is recommended. The idea is to have the belt do the cutting, not by using force against
the contact wheel.
Make rapid passes, each pass should only take seconds in total time. If you are not moving
the blade across the wheel in a rapid fashion, you will create hot spots in the blade, and the
blade will not move easily across the wheel.
6. After sharpening the first edge, use the slack area of the belt to remove any burrs that may
have been created in the sharpening procedure.
7. Move to the second edge and repeat the procedure.
8. Check the balance of the blade to ensure proper stock removal.
