Before Use
WARNING:
Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching
or changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Bench mounting
• For added safety the multipurpose sharpener can be secured to a rigid work surface
such as a work bench. This is recommended if the sharpener is to be used in a
permanent position
• Use the four Bench Mounting Holes (3) in the base of the Motor Unit as a template to
mark and drill four holes in the intended mounting surface. Secure the Motor Unit in
position using bolts, washers and nuts (not supplied)
• For a portable arrangement, fix a board to the base of the Motor Unit which can be
easily clamped and removed from various mounting surfaces
On-board storage of sharpening modules
• The Module Fixing Slots (6) located on the side faces of the Motor Unit provide on-board
storage for sharpening modules when not in use
• Simply slide the modules into the Module Fixing Slots on the sides of the Motor Unit
Fitting a sharpening module
• The sharpening modules provide a guide for safe, precision sharpening of cutting tools
• Do not use the multipurpose sharpener without a sharpening module in place
• There are three sharpening modules:
- Drill Bit Sharpening Module
- Chisel & Plane Sharpening Module
- Knife & Scissor Sharpening Module
Fitting a sharpening module:
1. Slide the appropriate sharpening module into the Module Fixing Slot (6) on the Grinding
Wheel (5) face of the Motor Unit
2. Push the module down until it is fully engaged in the Module Release Lever (7) in the
base of the Motor Unit. You will hear a ‘click’ as it locks into place
Removing a sharpening module:
• Depress the Module Release Lever and pull the module up and out of the Module Fixing
Slot
Operation
WARNING:
ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing
protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Switching on and off
• Switch the sharpener on by depressing the side of the On/Off Switch (4) marked ‘I’
• Switch the sharpener off by depressing the side of the On/Off Switch marked ‘O’
Duty cycle
WARNING:
This product has a duty cycle of 30%.
• After every three minutes of use, the sharpener must be allowed to cool down for seven
minutes, before continuing with another maximum three minutes’ continuous use
• This product is equipped with a thermal cut-out device to protect the motor
• If the tool cuts out, the duty cycle has been exceeded. Switch off the tool and allow the
motor to cool down fully. You will then be able to proceed, using the tool in accordance
with the 30% duty cycle
Sharpening HSS Drill Bits
• The multipurpose sharpener will sharpen high-speed steel drill bits of 3 – 13mm
diameter
• When sharpening drill bits of 3-3.5mm diameter, ensure the Top Clamp (12) is installed
on the Drill Bit Clamp with the protruding face directed inwards (Image A)
• When sharpening drill bits of 3.5-13mm diameter, ensure the Top Clamp is installed on
the Drill Bit Clamp with the protruding face directed outwards (Image B)
Preparation:
1. Slide the Drill Bit Sharpening Module into position over the Grinding Wheel (5) on the
Motor Unit
2. Remove the Drill Bit Clamp (11) from the module and loosen the jaw sufficiently to insert
the drill bit
3. Tighten the Drill Bit Clamp just to the point where the drill bit is retained but its position
can still be adjusted
4. Place the Drill Bit Clamp in the Alignment Shoe (11), being sure the Drill Bit Clamp
engages the rails on the Alignment Shoe (Image C)
5. Push the drill bit forward and rotate the bit so that it lays in the ‘V’ Guide with the tip in
contact with the metal end stop and the cutting edges are in contact with the metal sides
of the ‘V’
6. Tighten the Drill Bit Clamp to secure the drill bit in this position
7. Remove the Drill Bit Clamp, with the drill bit secured in position, and place it in the
Grinding Shoe (8) ensuring the Drill Bit Clamp engages the rails on the Grinding Shoe
8. Check the cutting edges of the drill bit are in contact with the Grinding Wheel. If not,
repeat the alignment procedure
9. The drill bit is now ready for sharpening with the cutting edges positioned at the correct
angle
Sharpening:
1. Switch the tool on and move the top section of the Drill Bit Sharpening Module from side
to side to sharpen both cutting edges (Image D)
Note:
The amount of sharpening required will depend upon the condition of the cutting
edges
2. Switch the tool off, remove the Drill Bit Clamp from the Grinding Shoe, and then re-
insert it the other way round in order to sharpen the other side of the cutting edges
3. Repeat the sharpening procedure for an equal amount of time then switch the tool off
4. Lift the Drill Bit Clamp out of the Grinding Shoe and check that the leading edges of both
flutes are equally sharp. They should meet exactly in the middle
5. Repeat the sharpening procedure to correct any misalignment as necessary
6. Switch the tool off and allow the Grinding Wheel to stop completely before removing the
