C. Attaching the Grinder to the Guide Arm
REMINDER: Make sure your grinder is turned off and unplugged.
1. Take the grinder with the attached Guide Rod.
2. Insert the smooth end of the Guide Rod through the pivot hole of the Guide Arm.
3. Slide the Guide Rod all the way in. The grinder should be parallel to the Guide Arm and pointing
in the same direction.
NOTE: If the grinder has a guard, it may be necessary to adjust the position so that it does not obstruct
the movement of the Guide Arm and the grinder during use.
4. Position the grinder wheel on the blade area to be sharpened. The moveable joint of the Guide
Arm should be positioned towards you.
5. Align the center of the grinder wheel with the blade area to be sharpened. To do this, adjust
the position of the bushing and lock nut by turning them inwards or outwards until the wheel
of the grinder is centered on the blade.
6. Tighten the lock nut until snug. This will keep the grinder wheel in place during sharpening.
WARNING: Do not overtighten the lock nut. The bushing could get stuck during sharpening if
the lock nut is too tight.
NOTE: Re-adjusting the bushing and lock nut is usually not necessary after the first use if you will be
sharpening blades of similar width.
