PREPARING THE STROPPING WHEEL
The leather stropping wheel is pre-installed on the machine. Follow the instructions below to prepare the stropping
wheel before honing operations.
1. Turn the wheel by hand and apply a light machine oil evenly to the leather stropping wheel. Use enough to pro-
vide a thorough and even coat, but not so much as to dampen the wheel to the point of dripping oil. Turn the wheel
in both directions to ensure complete coverage.
2. Using a wooden spreader or other similarly purposed accessory (not included), apply the abrasive honing paste
to the stropping wheel, covering the face with a thin, even layer.
3. Make sure the locking knob on the side of the stropping wheel is securely tightened.
4. After the initial layer has been placed, turn the machine ON and continue to evenly distribute the paste with
the wooden spreader in light circular motions across the wheel. Once an even distribution has been reached, the
stropping wheel is ready to hone.
