Form C-1572
7.3 With your right hand, hold the operating handle
and press the start button. Allow the motor to gather
full speed and then release the release lever. This
automatically returns the sharpener to the locked
position.
CAUTION
Turn the motor on and off a few times before running
the machine continuously. This permits the oil to
warm up and flow easily into the close-fitting moving
parts. Failure to do this may result in damage to
your machine.
The machine is now ready for use.
