4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING GRIND WHEEL
The grinding wheel is designed to last up to several years based on normal use (this may vary
depending on use). The grinding wheel is fully worn out and needs replacing when the knife no
longer makes contact with the wheel while positioned against the plastic knife guide. A
replacement wheel and arbor can be ordered from your local Edlund dealer as part number
#A526S. To replace the grinding wheel, first unplug the unit from the power source. Remove the
knife guide. Loosen the setscrew (use a 3/32” Allen wrench) until you are able to slide the wheel
and arbor off of the motor shaft (FIGURE 1). Replace with the new wheel and arbor, the factory
sets the stone and arbor with Shim (S291). This shim should be placed between the motor and
the wheel. The wheel should be placed flush against the shim and the setscrew tightened. Next
remove the shim and the wheel will be set .120 inches away from the motor
FIGURE 1. ATTACHING WHEEL
Replace the knife guide. The grinding wheel should be aligned after installation so that an equal portion of
the wheel is visible in the left and right knife guide slots when the knife guide is in place (FIGURE 2). The
knife sharpener is now ready for use.
