UTILITY SHARPENER
The “Forward / Off / Reverse” switch (A) Fig. 6, is located
toward the front of the machine. To turn the machine
“ON”, move the switch to the “Forward” or “Reverse”
position. The wheel will turn in the direction indicated by
the arrows. In the “Forward” position, the wheel will
rotate toward the front of the machine. In the “Reverse”
position, the wheel will rotate toward the rear of the
machine. To turn the machine “OFF”, move the switch to
the center “OFF” position.

TOOL RESTS
Each tool rest assembly (D) Fig. 7, is adjustable so it can
be positioned as close to the grinding wheel as possible,
giving maximum support to the piece that is being
ground. Always maintain a distance of 1/8" or less
between the grinding wheel and the inside edge of the
tool rest.
WARNING:
As the wheels wear down, the
tool rest should be adjusted accordingly. When the tool
rests are positioned correctly, tighten screws (C) and (F)
with hex wrench (G).

MAINTENANCE
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2.
Clean the machine with a clean dry rag.

SHARPENING HINTS
1.
Before sharpening an item, make sure the item is clean, and free of any loose particles.
2.
When sharpening an item, use light pressure, and pass the item across the wheel until a fine edge is produced.
Heavy pressure will cause the edge to be ragged.
3.
Do not sharpen tools, blades, bits, etc, that are bent or cracked. These items should be discarded.
4.
The Utility Sharpener should not be used to remove large amounts of material. The Utility Sharpener uses a much
finer grit wheel, and rotates at a slower pace then a bench grinder.
