Grinding the blade (cont.)
3.
Ensure that the area is safe and the grinding wheel is clear of any obstructions or loose objects.
4.
While sharpening the blade stand so that the face of the grinding wheel, not the edge used to
sharpen, is in front of you. This keeps you away from the path of anything that may be thrown
from the grinding wheel.
5.
Push the on button.
6.
Hold the blade with two hands on the end opposite of the one you intend to sharpen.
7.
Carefully place the blade on the work table grass side down.
8.
Move the cutting edge of the blade toward the grinding wheel. The grinding surface of the
wheel and the cutting edge should be kept parallel.
9.
Once the cutting edge and the grinding wheel are in contact with each other begin to move the
blade back and forth from the beginning to the end of the cutting edge. Keep a steady
pressure against the blade.
