OPERATION
FILLING WATER RESERVOIR WITH WATER
WARNING!
Unplug power cord before filling water
reservoir with water, risk of electrocusion.
1) Loosen the tool rest lock handles and move the
tool rest away from the sharpening wheel as
shown in Fig.3.
2) Slowly fill the water reservoir (A) Fig.3 with up to
150ml of water. Turn the wheel by hand, the wheel
will slowly absorb the water, once all water is
absorbed, add an additional 50ml or fill until the
wheel is immersed in about 3/8” of water.
3) Connect the power cord to a power outlet. Make
sure your hands are dry before plugging in.
4) Turn the wet/dry sharpener on by moving the
switch (A) Fig.4 sideways to either the forward
rotation setting (B) or reverse rotation setting (C).
Let the wet/dry sharpener run for about a minute
to ensure the sharpening wheel remains wet.
ADJUSTING TOOL REST
1) Fig.5 shows the height adjustment lock handle (A)
and the angle adjustment lock handle (B) which
control the position of the tool rest (C).
2) Loosen the height adjustment lock handle (A)
Fig.5 and move the tool rest to the desired height.
Retighten height adjustment lock handle.
3) Loosen the angle adjustment lock handle (B) Fig.5
and tilt the tool rest to the set the sharpening
angle. Retighten angle adjustment lock handle.
WARNING!
This tool may project objects into the air
and could cause serious eye damage. Always wear
safety glasses.
SHARPENING
This wet/dry sharpener is ideal for sharpening
chisels, blades, knives and scissors or any tool with
a sharp edge. Make practice runs on lower quality
tools to gain experience before attempting to
sharpen a quality hand tool.
1) Set the tool rest at the desired height and angle
(same angle as cutting edge of hand tool).
2) Turn the wet/dry sharpener on with the wheel rotating towards you (reverse direction).
3) Place hand tool on tool rest. Using light pressure, press the hand tool against the wheel
and slowly move the hand tool side-to-side. See Fig.6. Side-to-side movement is
important to avoid center wear thus creating an uneven surface. If this happens, truing
the wheel with a dressing stone will be necessary.
