SELECTING THE NUMBER
Of CyCLES
To watch the How-To video, visit

When the sharpener moves the Grinding
Ring out and back over the skate blade
once, it is called a cycle.
The Sparx™ Sharpener comes set
automatically to a standard
4 four cycles
with all standard Radius Ring™ and FIRE
Ring™
Grinding Rings
. We recommend
trying four cycles to start and moving
higher or lower as needed. Typically, we
have found that four cycles will handle
normal wear and tear (and even small
nicks) from one to four hours of skating
between sharpenings. For brand new steel
or when changing Grinding Ring hollow
depths, we recommend using the 1
10-cycle setting to ensure you completely
reset the skating surface of the blade. See
Sharpening New Steel at the end of the
Operation section.
