FILLING UTILITY SHARPENER WITH WATER
1. WARNING: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
2. Place the utility sharpener on a flat surface.
3. Loosen the the front tool rest adjusting screw (A) Fig. 3,
and move the front tool rest away from the grinding wheel.
4. Pour approximately 3 ounces of water into the front of
water trough (B) Fig. 3. CAUTION: NEVER POUR WATER
INTO THE UTILITY SHARPENER WHILE IT IS RUNNING.
5. WARNING: Before connecting the machine to
the power circuit, make sure power switch is OFF and the
power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the
specification plate. Connect machine to power circuit. To
avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle
getting wet, position the machine to one side of a wall
mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto
the receptacle or plug. The user should arrange a “drip
loop” Fig. 4, in the cord connecting the machine to a
receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below
the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an
extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
6. Turn the power switch “ON”, and let the machine run
for one minute. The grinding wheel will absorb some of
the water.
7. Turn the power switch “OFF” and disconnect
machine from power source.
8. Fill the water trough until the water is almost reaching
the level of the drainage opening (A) Fig. 5, in the rear of
the machine. The water trough should be checked and
refilled periodically during use.
9. Reposition front tool rest, and tighten tool rest
adjusting screw. WARNING: Always maintain a
distance of 1/8" or less between the grinding wheel and
the inside edge of the tool rest.
10. Connect machine to power source. WARNING:
The user should arrange a “drip loop” Fig. 4, in the cord
connecting the machine to a receptacle. The “drip loop”
is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle,
or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent
water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle.
11. When finished grinding with the utility sharpener,
disconnect machine from power source and tilt the
machine to the rear to drain the water through the
opening (A) Fig. 5.
