OPERATING THE UTILITY SHARPENER
The Utility Sharpener is designed for sharpening knives, scissors, flat chisels, and more.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION!
Hot sparks may be produced during sharpening operations.
1.
The electrical power switch must be in the
OFF
position.
2.
The power cord must be unplugged from the electrical receptacle.
3.
Place the Utility Sharpener on flat, firm, and water resistant surface.
4.
Loosed the two lock knobs that hold the front tool rest until the tool rest can be moved away from
the stone. The lock knobs may be repositioned by pulling the knob out slightly. This permits the
knob to be rotated for additional loosening or tightening.
5.
Partially fill a measuring cup with tap water. Proceed to
slowly pour approximately 80mls - 180mls of water over
the stone as shown in Fig. C.
Do not have the Utility Sharpener operating while pouring
the water. The rotating grinding wheel will cause water to
be splashed possibly on to the electrical switch.
6.
Plug in the power cord and turn ON the Utility Sharpener. Let the tool run for one minute. This will
let the grinding wheel absorb some of the water and provide a cool grinding surface.
7.
After one minute, turn
OFF
the Utility Sharpener and unplug the power cord from the electrical re-
ceptacle. Proceed to fill water trough until water is almost about to spill out of the drainage opening
in the rear of the Utility Sharpener.
8.
The Water Trough will need to be refilled occasionally during extended sharpening operations.
9.
Return the front tool rest back into position.
10. Adjust both the front and rear tool rests until they are approximately 1/8” from the grinding wheel.
Firmly tighten all four of the lock knobs.
11. Carefully inspect the item to be sharpened. Look for any cracks or bends. If the item is damaged,
then discard it.
DO NOT
attempt to sharpen a damaged tool.
