SHARPENING CUTTERS
WARNING:
Eye protection should always be worn by the operator and others in
the work area when sharpening cutters. Eye protection is required for
protection from flying debris and dust, which could cause eye injury.
Sharpen dull cutters as soon as dullness is noted to avoid poor work
and less production. More time is lost in trying to do another case
with a dull cutter than making short frequent stops to keep cutter
sharp.
The cutter-sharpener on your Supreme Finisher is for sharpening sole trimmer and top lift
cutters size no. 2 Iron through no. 36 Iron only and is not to be used for sharpening a
carbide cutter.
On the lower Shaft (top lift and heel trimming), stationary shield on outer edge of the
cutter is adjustable and can be set to trim without marking or cutting the cover on heels.
The back guard should be adjusted to the thickness of the top lift being trimmed.
To remove the trimmer cutters:
1.
Remove the cutter retaining screw, M7904, and the washer, M2446 or M7131.
2.
Pull cutter off the shaft.
3.
To reassemble, reverse procedure.
WARNING:
To minimize fire hazard, turn dust extractor off while sharpening
cutters and grind gently to minimize sparks.
