ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
Page 12
• Empty, rinse, and refill the reservoir regularly.
This prevents metal and stone debris from
accumulating in the reservoir.
• Place a magnet in the reservoir to catch and
collect metal filings. This will help prevent exces
-
sive metal accumulation on the grinding wheel.
CAUTION !
Always keep the switch “OFF” and unplug the
machine when the sharpener is not in use. In the
event of a power failure, blown fuse, or tripped
circuit breaker, turn the switch “OFF” and unplug
the machine to prevent accidental start-up when
the power comes back on.
WATER RESERVOIR
The wet sharpener is designed for wet grinding
and should never be used without water. Before
filling the water reservoir, identify the reservoir
mounting slots on the machine sides (A), as
shown in Figure 7. These slots allow the reservoir
to be mounted during grinding and lowered when
not in use. The mounting tabs on the reservoir
serve as hooks to attach to the mounting slots.
To fill and position the reservoir:
• Remove the reservoir and fill it with water to
just below the V-shaped notch.
• Attach the reservoir to the sharpener.
• If the sharpener is not going to be used im
-
mediately, remove the reservoir from the machine.
This reduces the likelihood of damage to the
wheel and potential hazards from the stone being
stored in water.
Tips for using the sharpener water reservoir:
• Check the water level before every use and be
sure the wheel is wet before you begin grinding.
DO NOT
use the sharpener without water.
• Leaving the grinding wheel stored in water will
cause damage to the wheel and create potential
hazards because the wheel will become unbal
-
anced. Never leave the wheel in water or store
it when wet if shop temperatures drop to where
water freezes.
• Once any grinding process is complete, return
the reservoir to the storage position to prevent
prolonged water exposure to the wheel.

ANGLE GUIDE
The sharpener comes with an angle guide to help
identify and maintain the cutting angle on a variety
of tools.
To use the angle guide:
• The wet sharpener must not be running for the
following steps!
• Locate the eight measuring notches on the
angle finder.
• Find the angle notch that best fits the tool your
wish to grind by placing the sharpened edge of
the workpiece into each notch.
• Adjust the positioning of the tool and the univer
-
sal support height as necessary so that the sharp-
ened edge of the tool is flat against both the
grinding wheel and the angle edge on the angle
guide. Figure 8.
• Once the tool rest is properly positioned, and
the angle guide is removed from the wheel &
tool, the wet sharpener can be started so that the
grinding can begin.
