2.12 Sharpener Operation
Before starting the sharpening cycle, perform the following steps:
1.
Adjust the blade clamp for the blade you will be sharpening.
2.
Install a grinding wheel if necessary and then install a blade.
3.
Using the Teeth Number Setting Buttons, set the number of teeth in the blade and number of cycles
you will be sharpening.
4.
Adjust face grind and gullet grind.
5.
Be sure to reset the preset number of teeth (by pressing the tooth counter reset button).
6.
Turn on the oil flow.
7.
Increase the feed rate to a moderate speed. How fast you can grind will be determined by how much
material you are removing from the blade. If a heavy grind is required, it is best to go around the
blade lightly twice rather than try to grind heavily once.
8.
Check the gullet grind two or three times during sharpening. Adjust as necessary.
IMPORTANT!
After any adjustment, always restart the blade and sharpen in its entirety to ensure
symmetry.
IMPORTANT!
After adjustment always close the guard.
2.13 Shutoff
The sharpener will automatically shut off when the blade has been entirely sharpened.
Inspect the blade. Repeat the sharpening process if necessary. Blades with a bad profile or those
which are badly in need of sharpening may have to be ground more than once.
