3. Take care that the sharpening
angle matches the existing
bevelled angle of the blade tip.
This avoids removing too much
metal unnecessarily and keeps
the plane blade at its optimum
cutting angle.
4. Adjust it to suit and set the angle
securely using the adjusting knob.
Note the angle on the scale
before tightening.
5. Switch the power unit on.
6. Slide the blade and plate with
light, steady pressure, back and
forth across the grinding wheel in
a continuous motion.
• Do not hold the blade
stationary as this will cause irregular sharpening.
7. Gradually ease the blade down the plate while sharpening. Press very
gently, repeating each step.
8. Lift the blade away and check that the bevelled edge and tip are evenly
sharp across the blade width. If not, adjust the grinding angle and try
again.
9. Use the extra side guide to act as
a spacer when sharpening narrow
chisels.
10. Switch the power unit off and
ensure the grinding wheel has
stopped before removing the
sharpener attachment from the
base unit.
• It is recommended that after
grinding, the chisel or plane
blade tip is honed using an oiled stone.
