KNOW YOUR UTILITY SHARPENER
The Utility Sharpener is designed with numerous features to quickly and safely sharpen various items
around the house and shop. A fine grit grinding wheel is used to produce a sharp and precise cutting
edge. Two multi-position tool rests provide a firm work surface at a variety of angles. A water trough is
used to keep the grinding wheel and the workpiece cool during sharpening operations., The Utility Sharp-
ener additionally has been outfitted with an electrical power switch that permits the grinding wheel to
rotate in the Forward and Reverse directions.
The Utility Sharpener will put a sharp edge on knives, scissors, and flat chisels with a minimal amount of
effort and skill needed by the user. Sharp tools cut more quickly, safely and efficiently. A dull edge will
require the user to apply more pressure to the workpiece, possibly causing injury to the user. Keeping the
cutting tools sharp will provide many years or useful service. Periodic sharpening will prevent the tools
from losing the bevel that was put on by the manufacturer originally. The factory bevel is what you
should use when sharpening any tool.
