grinding wheel with a 1/2" (12.5 mm) bore.
WARNING!
check the grinding wheel for cracks or chips before using
it. NEVER use a cracked or chipped wheel. Doing so may result in
severe personal injury and/or machine damage.
Install a new grinding wheel:
NOTE:
The wrench built into the gauge can be used to hold the motor
arbor while installing/removing the grinding wheel
1.
Ensure that power is not connected to the sharpener and that all of the switches are in the
“off” position to avoid starting the motors when power is applied.

sure to keep it supported. Do not allow the sharpener to fall. It may
damage the grinding wheel or the blade, and may cause personal
injury.
