96W Multipurpose Sharpener
657946
Drill Bit Sharpening Module
Sharpening chisels and plane irons
• The multipurpose sharpener will sharpen chisels and plane irons of 6 – 51mm width
(1/4” – 2”)
Preparation:
1. Slide the Chisel & Plane Sharpening Module into position over the Grinding Wheel (5) on
the Motor Unit
2. Place the blade on the Tool Bed (15) so the side of the chisel or plane iron is adjacent to
the lip on the far edge of the Tool Bed. The magnets will help to secure the blade in position
Note:
For thin chisel blades, fit the Spacer (16) on to the lip, and ensure the chisel is
adjacent to the spacer.
3. Check the angle of the Tool Bed matches the existing bevelled angle on the blade. This
is important to maintain blades at their optimum shaving angle
4. To adjust the angle of the Tool Bed, loosen the Angle Adjustment Knob (13), tilt the Tool
Bed to the correct angle, then tighten the Angle Adjustment Knob to secure the Tool Bed at
the correct angle
5. Check the edge of the blade is in contact with the Grinding Wheel and that the Guard
(14) is fitted. DO NOT use the Chisel & Plane Sharpening Module without the Guard in place
Sharpening:
1. Switch the machine on, and whilst holding the tool in position on the Tool Bed, move
the Tool Bed back and forth across the Grinding Wheel, using steady pressure and a
continuous, consistent motion (Image E)
2. Do not allow the blade to remain stationary – this will cause uneven sharpening
3. Remove the blade and check the bevelled edge and tip are sharp and even across their
entire width
4. If necessary, continue the sharpening procedure to correct any misalignment
5. Switch the machine off and allow the Grinding Wheel to stop completely before
removing the Chisel & Plane Sharpening Module
6. After grinding, it is recommended that you hone the blade on an oil stone
Sharpening knives and scissors
• The multipurpose sharpener will sharpen all straight-edged knives and scissors
• To sharpen knives and scissors, slide the Knife & Scissors Sharpening Module into
position over the Grinding Wheel (5) on the Motor Unit
Sharpening knives:
1. Switch the tool on
2. Fully insert the knife blade into one of the Knife Sharpening Slots (2), so the cutting edge
is facing the Grinding Wheel (Image F)
3. Bring the blade into contact with the Grinding Wheel and draw it slowly towards you,
using light pressure to keep the blade in contact with the Grinding Wheel throughout the
length of the blade
4. Turn the knife over and insert the blade in the opposite knife sharpening slot. Repeat
step 3 to sharpen the other side of the blade
5. Repeat the sharpening process on each side of the blade in turn until a clean, sharp
edge is attained
6. Switch the sharpener off and allow the grinding wheel to stop completely before
removing the Knife & Scissors Sharpening Module
Sharpening scissors:
1. Switch the tool on
2. Open the scissors fully
3. Place one of the blades in the Scissor Sharpening Slot (1), keeping the pivot of the
scissors and the other blade to the right hand side (Image G)
4. Draw the length of the blade across the Grinding Wheel (5) from pivot to tip. Use a light,
steady pressure; do not press hard
5. Remove and turn the scissors over to sharpen the other blade
6. Repeat sharpening each blade in turn until clean, sharp edges are attained
7. Switch the tool off and allow the Grinding Wheel to stop completely before removing the
Knife & Scissors Sharpening Module
