Grinding Tips
•
Always be sure the grinding wheel is wet before grinding by having the reservoir filled and in the proper location.
•
Wear the proper protective clothing. Safety glasses/face shield and a dust mask should be worn at all times.
•
Grasp the work piece firmly and properly support it on the universal support or grinding jig during operation. Maintain
even pressure and control of the work piece when grinding.
•
Concentrate on the task at hand. STOP grinding if other people are distracting you or your mind is on something else.
Positioning the Universal Support
•
The wet sharpener is equipped with a universal support that serves as a tool rest and as an attachment point for the
sharpener jig. It can be attached in two positions, allowing for grinding with or against the rotation direction of the
grinding wheel.
•
The tightening knobs on each attachment point allow the universal support to be adjusted and locked in position,
depending on the specific task required.
•
Working against the rotation removes large amounts of material quickly but doe not yield precise results. Use this
method for coarse tools such as axes.
•
Working with the rotation yields much more precise results and removes less material. Use this method for finer tools,
such as knives or carving tools.
Grinding Against Wheel Rotation
The sharpener additionally has been outfitted with an electrical power switch that
permits the grinding wheel to rotate in the front and reverse directions.
•
DISCONNECT SHARPENER FROM POWER!

•
Attach the universal support in the vertical mounts, as shown in Figure 4.
Be sure it is securely positioned and will not move during grinding.
•
Rest your work piece on the universal support with the sharpened edge
pointing away from you. Grind your work piece in the indicated grinding
area.
Grinding with Wheel Rotation
•
