Angle measurer
Measure the angle of the grinding bezel by comparing the cutting edge to the notches. Then set
the determined angle at the device by changing the height of the universal support. To do so,
perform the following steps: First, clamp the tool into the device and insert the device on the
universal support. Then, hold the angle measurer with the desired angle at the tool tip. Now,
adjust the height of the universal support in such a manner that the front end of the angle
measurer borders the grinding stone. Please make sure that the angle measurer is always in
alignment with the tool tip.
Note:
The values indicated on the angle measurer are only standard values. Of course, you can
change these values according to your requirements.
Sharpening
You simply grind the back side in the free-handed mode on the vertical of the grinding stone,
and the front side as follows. After you have set the angle, insert the tool mounted in the device
on the universal support, turn on the motor, and start the grinding process. Press the tool
evenly onto the grinding stone near the cutting edge, and move it crosswise across the stone.
Please make sure that at least half the width of the cutting edge comes into contact with the
grinding stone at any time to avoid damages of the stone.
Expert tip:
New tools still show traces of the production process. You can substantially
increase the lifetime of your tools if you grind them on both sides of the cutting edge before the
first application.
