ASSEMbLY & ADJUSTMENTS
INSTALLINg THE UNIVERSAL SUPPORT- WHEEL ROTATION
Against Wheel Rotation
Grinding/Sharpening against the rotation removes larger amounts of material. The grinding/sharpening wheel rotates towards you. It is
recommended to position the universal support in the vertical position for all against the wheel rotation operations. See Fig.6.
Note:
User may find that “Against” rotation causes the water to run up the blade edge and spill out onto the workbench, if this is the case “With”
rotation may be more favourable.
With Wheel Rotation
Grinding/Sharpening with the rotation removes less material and is ideal for
precision jobs such as sharpening knives, scissors, or other carving tools. The
grinding/sharpening wheel rotates away from you. It is recommended to position
the universal support in the horizontal position for all with the wheel rotation
operations. See Fig.7.
SETTINg UP THE INCLUDED SqUARE EDgE JIg
The square edge jig (A) Fig.8 included is designed to help you sharpen hand plane
blades and chisels.
1. Loosen the two lock knobs (B) Fig.8, slide jig body onto the universal support
(C) as shown.
2. Slide body of blade or chisel under the clamp plate (D) Fig.8, position it against
the end stop (E). Tighten the lock knobs (B) to secure tool. See instructions
below for setting the correct angle.
Note:
If your tool is too large to be mounted into the jig, the tool can be positioned
to rest on the universal support.
OPTIONAL 4 PC. ACCESSORY KIT
An optional 4pc. accessory kit (model KM-130) shown below is available for this
Wet/Dry Sharpener. This kit includes a short knife jig, a long knife jig, a scissors
jig, and an axe jig. Follow the instructions included with the accessory jig kit for
assembly and operation.
SETTINg THE TOOL ANgLE USINg THE ANgLE gUIDE
This Wet/Dry Sharpener comes with an angle guide (A) Fig.9. This angle guide is
used to set the correct angle for grinding/sharpening your tools.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: The angle guide (A) Fig.9 is accurate for relatively new 10”
grinding/sharpening wheels. As the grinding/sharpening wheel wears down, the
angle guide will become less accurate.
1. Using the angle guide (A) Fig.10, determine the bevel angle of your tool by
placing it into each angle notch (See arrows in Fig.9). Find the notch that best
fits the bevel angle of your tool.
2. Mount your tool in the appropriate jig (included jig or optional jigs) with the side to grind/sharpen against the wheel.
3. Place the angle guide on top and against the grinding wheel as shown in Fig.10. If your tool/grinding angle is 25 degrees, place the angle
guide as shown in (A) Fig. 10. Adjust the position of the universal support and of the jig so that one side of the tool edge lays flush against
the grinding/sharpening wheel, and the other side lays flush against the angle guide.
