7.6 Grinding hand knives on the wet-grinding belt
There is a risk that hands, hair, and clothing may be pulled in while the
grinding machine is switched on.
Never hold the cutting edge against the rotation direction of the
wet-grinding belt. Serious injury may result!
CAUTION
Lay the hand knife flat onto the wet-grinding belt
(7-15/1).
The cutting edge should run an angle to the
grinding belt, not perpendicular. Press the knife
onto the grinding belt with your free hand. The
stronger the pressure, the more convex the grind
will be.
Pull both sides of the hand knife over the grind-
ing belt alternately until a burr is created over the
entire cutting edge length.
The burr on the knife is removed at the finned
brush (7-16/1). This will help the hand knife retain
its final sharpness.
Both sides of the knife blade are honed alternately
on the finned brushes.
