OPERATING THE UTILITY SHARPENER
The Utility Sharpener is designed for sharpening knives, scissors, flat chisels, and
more.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION! Hot sparks may be produced during sharpening
operations.
1. The electrical power switch must be in the OFF position.
2. The power cord must be unplugged from the electrical receptacle.
3. Place the Utility Sharpener on flat, firm, and water-resistant surface.
4. Loosen the two lock knobs that hold the front tool rest until the tool rest can be
moved away from the stone. The lock knobs may be repositioned by pulling the
knob out slightly. This permits the knob to be rotated for additional loosening or
tightening.
5. Partially fill a measuring cup with tap water.Proceed to slowly pour approximately
3-6
ounces of water over the stone as shown
in Fig.4.
Do not have the Utility Sharpener operating
while pouring in the water. The rotating
grinding wheel will cause water to be splashed
possibly onto the electrical switch.

6. Plug in the power cord and turn ON the Utility Sharpener. Let the tool run for
one minute. This will let the grinding wheel absorb some of the water and provide
a cool grinding surface.
7. After one minute, turn OFF the Utility Sharpener and unplug the power cord from
the electrical receptacle. Proceed to fill the water trough until water is almost about
to spill out of the drainage opening in the rear of the Utility Sharpener.
8. The Water Trough will need to be refilled occasionally during extended sharpening
operations.
9. Return the front tool rest back into position.
10. Adjust both the front and rear tool rests until they are approximately 1/8” from
the grinding wheel. Firmly tighten all four of the lock knobs.
11. Carefully inspect the item to be sharpened. Look for any cracks or bends. If
the item is damaged, then discard it. DO NOT attempt to sharpen a damaged tool.
12. If the item to be sharpened is in good condition, then proceed to lay the item flat
