Grinding Jig

 

The grinding jig provided with the wet sharpener is used for securing a variety of 
tools, and can be positioned to grind with and against the wheel rotation.

 

To mount the grinding jig:

 

• 

DISCONNECT SHARPENER FROM POWER!

 

• 

Slide the grinding jig onto the universal support, as illustrated in Figure 6.

 

• 

Insert the tool into the jig clamp, then use the angle guide, as described in 
the manual, to set the grinding angle.

 

• 

Once the grinding angle is set, tighten both lock knobs to secure the tool 
in place.

 

 

Water Reservoir 

 

The wet sharpener is designed for wet grinding and should never be used without 
water.  Before filling the water reservoir, identify the high and low reservoir 
mounting slots, as shown in Figure 7.  These slots allow the reservoir to be raised 
during grinding and lowered when not in use.

 

The mounting tabs on the reservoir serve as hooks to attach to the reservoir 
mounting slots.

 

 

 

To fill and position the Water Reservoir

 

• 

Remove the reservoir and fill it with water to just below the V

-

shaped notch.

 

• 

Attach the reservoir to the sharpener.

 

• 

-

 if the sharpener is going to be used immediately, position the reservoir in 

the upper grinding position by attaching it in the upper slot (see Figure 8).

 

• 

-

If the sharpener is not going to be used immediately, position the reservoir in 

the lower storage position by attaching it in the lower slot (see figure 8)

 

 

 

 

Note: Placing the reservoir in the lower storage position will reduce the likelihood damage to the 

wheel and potential hazards from being stored in water.

 

Caution: Always ensure to switch 

OFF

” 

when the sharpener is not in use. In the event of a power 

failure, blown fuse, or tripped circuit breaker, turn the switch 

OFF

” 

preventing accidental start

-

up 

when the power comes back on.

 

 

Tips for using the sharpener water reservoir

 

• 

Check the water level before every use and be sure the wheel is wet before you begin grinding.  DO NOT use the 
sharpener without water.

 

• 

Leaving the grinding wheel stored in water will cause damage to the wheel and create potential hazards because the 
wheel will become unbalanced.  Once any grinding process is complete, return the reservoir to the storage position to 
prevent prolonged water exposure to the wheel.

 

• 

Empty, rinse and refill reservoir regularly.  This prevents metal and stone from accumulating in the reservoir.

 

• 

Place a magnet in the reservoir to catch and collect metal filings.  This will help prevent excessive metal accumulation 
on the grinding wheel.
