Steeling For Whizard Quantum
®
Air Models: 350, 500, 620 and 750:
•
Be sure to hold the steel at the actual angle of the blade edge. Running the steel at an
angle greater than the factory ground angle will round over the edge and make re-
sharpening more difficult.
•
Use the steel lightly and always make the last pass of the steel on the inside surface of the
blade.
•
Steeling can be accomplished with much greater consistency with the use of the specially
designed Whizard
®
Edge Master
™
Steels. See Section 7; Blade Sharpening and Steeling
Equipment, or contact your Regional Manager or Bettcher Industries, Inc. for more
information.
•
Replace or sharpen the blade if this procedure does not improve the cutting action.
•
The Whizard Quantum
®
Air Trimmers have been designed to allow the blades to
be quickly removed and reinstalled.
