RAZUR SHARP II
®
- Basic Operating Instructions
1) Check to be sure that nothing is touching the grinding wheel.
Retract the wheel dressers and move anything else that may come in
contact with the wheel. Locate the large handle lever on the bottom
front of the grinder. Move this handle until the chain bar assembly is
away from wheel.
2) Find the toggle switch on top of the motor. The motor is reversible and the switch has three
positions: back, middle and forward. One position makes the grinding wheel rotate clockwise,
the middle positition is off and the other positition makes the grinding wheel rotate counter -
clockwise.
Turn the grinder to one of the ON positions. Check the rotation of the wheel.
You want the grinding stone to be rotating counter-clockwise before you dress the wheel.
If you grind with wheel rotating clockwise the momentum of the wheel tends to pull the
dresser pivot into the motor mount.
If the wheel is going in the wrong direction turn the motor off . Allow the wheel to stop turning
before you turn it back on in the opposite direction. Do not try to change rotation while the
wheel is rotating even if the motor is turned off. Do not put any thing in contact with the wheel
to slow it down
– Allow it to stop on it's own.
3) Find the switch on the lamp and turn it on. The lamp is
mounted on a flexible arm. Move the lamp to a position
where you can easily see the corner of the stone. This is
done by shinning the light on the top side of the stone so the
leading edge is slightly shadowed.
The light bulb you use
is no more than 50 Watts MAX!
4) Find the diamond tipped wheel dressers.
They are located on the motor mount that covers the
grinding wheel.
These dressers pivot on their mounts and are used for shaping the grinding wheel;
adjust the diamond dressers so the dresser tips barely touch the grinding wheel when
pivoted in their mounts.
5) Turn the grinder ON so that the motor runs counter - clockwise.
Pivot the diamond dressers on their mounts and remove a small
amount of material, making easy and complete passes.
Tighten the diamond dressers in small increments to increase their depth.
Slowly shape the wheel like the drawings. Do not overload
the diamond
dressers, forcing them to make hard cuts
will shorten their life.
Dressing the stone
restores the working corner. It also cuts away dull
abrasive material and exposes a fresh surface for grinding.
