4. After installing the sharpener properly, assemble the wheel.
PRE-OPERATION:
Fasten the sharpener onto a work bench or any work surface where carefully positioned to be clear
from any other tools or distractions.
GRINDING WHEEL CHECK
Check the wheel you are about to use for damages prior to installation. To avoid injuries and accidents,
only use grinding wheels that are free of defects.
1. Insert a pencil horizontally through the hole and allow the wheel to swing freely.
2. Carefully tap the wheel edge with another pencil. This wheel should give a clear, high pitch sound.
If the sound is dampened or blank, the wheel is defective and should not be used.
3. Do not force the grinding wheel onto the hub.
4. The central bore diameter should not be changed.
5. Only use grinding wheels designed for this sharpener.
6. The smallest grinding wheel diameter should not be less than 4”.
7. Any adjustments should not be done unless the machine is switched off and unplugged.
A dull or dampened sound indicates damage by cracks in the wheel. NO DAMAGED WHEELS
SHOULD EVER BE USED!
GRINDING WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. To avoid damage to the wheel,
Do not over tighten screws.
2. The grinding wheel guard should be tightened securely.
3. After installing the wheel, run the machine to ensure that the wheel is not vibrating or spinning
incorrectly. If it is, quickly turn off the machine and unplug the power cord before attempting to
correct the default.
*The machine has a zero voltage circuit breaker which is disabled during an outage and will
prevent any unexpected restarting of the machine after the power supply is restored.
4. Using the sharpening stone and shape the wheel to obtain the required profile. Always be careful
while working.
