The edge tuning process
Securely and firmly clamp down the ski or snowboard at an angle, or with the
base pointing upward. Work with the ES 2000
as shown in the illustration below.
Positioning the ski or snowboard at an angle is ideally suited to working safely
and easily with the ES 2000. To tune the edges the ES 2000 is pushed slowly
and with even pressure against the base surface along the ski’s edge.
The unit’s own weight provides sufficient grinding pressure on the edge.
Place the ES 2000 with the support plate
(8) on the base in a way that allows
the ES 2000 a steady progression along the ski/ snowboard base, and ensures
that the grinding belt (7) touches the ski’s edge. Hold the unit in a way that
leaves a little gap between the grinding belt and the ski edge. Hold on firmly and
securely to the device and switch on (9) the ES 2000.
As soon as the grinding process (flying sparks) begins, move the ES 2000 in a
single movement, propelling it forward at 300mm/s, (for a ski measuring 150 cm
this means approximately 4 sec) over the base along the steel side edge. To
sharpen the edge, it is usually sufficient to carry out this process once. However,
if you are grinding the ski to a desired angle for the first time, you will have to
repeat this process several times.
