ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
SETTING UP THE HAND PLANE BLADE AND
CHISEL JIG
The hand plande blade and chisel jig included with your
sharpener is designed to assist in sharpening hand plane
blades (such as those on a bench plane; they are also
called "irons") and chisels.
1. To install the blade or chisel in the jig, loosen the clamp-
ing knobs on the jig (Fig. 5 - 1). Insert the body of the blade
or chisel into the clamp. Tighten the knobs, ensuring the
blade or chisel is securely mounted in the jig.
2. Follow the instructions on the next page for setting the
sharpening angle of the blade using the angle guide.
USING THE WORK SUPPORT ARM AS A WORK
REST
If the workpiece is too large to be mounted into the jig, you
can rest it directly onto the support arm. This will help you
balance the weight of the workpiece and keep it steady.
OTHER SHARPENING JIGS
To sharpen knives, scissors and axes, you’ll need the WEN
4-Piece Sharpening Accessory Kit (Model No. 42704A)
(Fig. 6), sold separately at
wenproducts.com
.
This kit includes a short knife jig, a long knife jig, a scissors
jig, and an axe jig. Follow the instructions included with
your accessory jig kit for assembly and operation.
To sharpen hand planer blades and chisels with extra
precision, you’ll need a square edge jig (Model Number
BG9910-076), sold separately at
wenproducts.com
.
To use the square edge jig, slide it onto the universal work
support. Loosen the knobs and install the blade into the
jig so that one end of the blade is positioned against the
end stop (Fig. 7). Tighten the knobs to secure the blade in
place.
