POLISHINg/HONINg A bLADE
After the sharpening blade/tool operation, the leather stropping wheel (A) Fig.14
can be used to remove burrs for a smooth, razor sharp edge. Follow these steps:
NOTE: Do not attempt to hone scissors using the leather stropping wheel.
Remove burrs if any from the scissor blades using a scrap piece of wood.
1. Disconnect power cord from power source.
2. Install the universal support in the horizontal position. Use the angle guide to
determine blade angle. Install blade in square edge jig, install jig on universal
support. Using angle gauge, adjust jig and the universal support position as
necessary. Refer to "Setting The Angle Using The Angle Guide" in this manual.
3. Make sure the stropping wheel has been properly prepared before attempting
to polish/hone. Refer to "Preparing The Stropping Wheel" in this manual.
4. Turn the Wet/Dry Sharpener on, placing the switch in the Forward direction (WITH the direction of the rotation of the grinding/sharpening
wheel). Move the blade back and forth evenly along the leather wheel. Do not apply excessive force, allow the leather stropping wheel to do
the work.
