KNIFE GRINDER FUNCTION
1.
Ensure sufficient air pressure – 600 – 700 kpa (80 – 90 psi) (
see
Section 2.6 Connection to pneumatic Supply
).
2.
There is no air control valve only an off/on switch.
3.
Flow valves only control sideways motion of cylinder/grinder. Check
that there are no kinks in airline.
HOW TO SHARPEN THE KNIFE
1.
Mark with felt marker pen the bevelled surface of blade to be sharpened.
2.
The grinder does not have to grind the full width of the bevel, approximately
2mm width of bevel is ground to the cutting edge of a new knife. The knife
bevel will gradually become wider as the knife is ground.
3.
Loosen the knob at the top of the slotted grinder mounting bracket.
4.
Position the grinder bracket so that the grinding wheel is approximately
central across the width of knife bevel.
5.
Start knife motor.
6.
Switch grinder ON. Adjust grinder travel stop gradually so that grinding wheel
touches the knife evenly and continues to grind until the knife is sharpened
right to the cutting edge and mark from felt pen removed.
7.
Use the dressing stick to clean the face of the grinding wheel if it becomes
dirty or clogged.
8.
Use the shielded deburring stone whilst grinding to remove the burr from the
back edge of the knife.
NOTE: 1) Knife must be rotating when engaging or disengaging grinding wheel to avoid
grinding a flat spot on the bevelled surface of knife.
2) Knives must be sharpened on the machine to ensure they run true. If any major
regrinding is required, we recommend you return the knife to
JAVELIN.
3) Knife motor will not start if chuck is on, the hood is up or knife brake is on.
4) Use a steel mesh glove when using the shielded deburring stone.
