3 . Adjust the pivot-arm tension. T urn the tension wheel, to set an appropriate pivot-arm tension.
Set tension high enough that the pivot-arm doesn't rotate unintentionally during the sharpening
process.
4. Install the selected clamp(s) on the pivot-arm and tighten the thumbscrew(s).
You can use any TSPROF clamp. Space the clamps at an appropriate distance from each other,
depending on blade length and shape.
5. Loosen the far (2) and near (1), clamping screw(s), and insert the blade to be clamped. Use a piece
of the leather or masking tape on the blade at the clamp contact point, to avoid marring the blade.
Tighten near clamping screw(s) (1) slightly, then tighten the far clamping screw (2) more firmly.
Clamp jaws should be parallel. To release the blade, loosen the screws in the reverse order.

If the knife has a tapered blade, first lightly tighten the near clamping screws (1),
then the far screw (2). Slightly loosen the near screws while tightening the far screw.
The jaws should be at an angle to each other, as illustrated below. If the far clamping screw is not
long enough, replace it with a longer M4x16 (14G) from the spare parts kit.
