STEELING the Blade
CAUTION:
Sharp Blade Cut Hazard
Hold Power Knife in your operating
hand and START tool.
Holding steeling rod horizontal with
your other hand, lay knife flat on the
steel and move it
lightly back and forth
across steel several times. Next place
the end of the steeling rod down
through the notch in the depth gauge
and lightly touch the inside surface of
the blade to `raise' the edge for better
cutting. The notch helps to hold the
steel at the proper angle to the blade
edge to prevent "rounding off" or
rolling the edge.
Clean tool thoroughly after sharpening.
