CONNECTED TO A 110V, 15-AMP.

BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO

CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN

RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK

OR FIRE.

110V OPERATION

As received from the factory, your

wet/dry sharpener is ready to run for

110V operation. This tool is intended

for use on a circuit that has an outlet

and a plug which looks like the one

illustrated in Fig.1.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some

loss of power. Use the following table to

determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-

American Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only

extension cords which accept the tool’s plug.

For circuits that are further away from the

electrical circuit box, the wire size must be

increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for

wire length and size.

OPERATION

FILLING WATER RESERVOIR WITH WATER

WARNING!

Unplug power cord before filling water

reservoir with water, risk of electrocusion.

1) Loosen the tool rest lock handles and move the

tool rest away from the sharpening wheel as

shown in Fig.3.

2) Slowly fill the water reservoir (A) Fig.3 with up to

150ml of water. Turn the wheel by hand, the wheel

will slowly absorb the water, once all water is

absorbed, add an additional 50ml or fill until the

wheel is immersed in about 3/8” of water.

3) Connect the power cord to a power outlet. Make

sure your hands are dry before plugging in.

4) Turn the wet/dry sharpener on by moving the

switch (A) Fig.4 sideways to either the forward

rotation setting (B) or reverse rotation setting (C).

Let the wet/dry sharpener run for about a minute

to ensure the sharpening wheel remains wet.

ADJUSTING TOOL REST

1) Fig.5 shows the height adjustment lock handle (A)

and the angle adjustment lock handle (B) which

control the position of the tool rest (C).

2) Loosen the height adjustment lock handle (A)

Fig.5 and move the tool rest to the desired height.

Retighten height adjustment lock handle.

3) Loosen the angle adjustment lock handle (B) Fig.5

and tilt the tool rest to the set the sharpening

angle. Retighten angle adjustment lock handle.

WARNING! This tool may project objects into the air

and could cause serious eye damage. Always wear

safety glasses.

SHARPENING

This wet/dry sharpener is ideal for sharpening

chisels, blades, knives and scissors or any tool with

a sharp edge. Make practice runs on lower quality

tools to gain experience before attempting to

sharpen a quality hand tool.

1) Set the tool rest at the desired height and angle

(same angle as cutting edge of hand tool).

2) Turn the wet/dry sharpener on with the wheel rotating towards you (reverse direction).

3) Place hand tool on tool rest. Using light pressure, press the hand tool against the wheel

and slowly move the hand tool side-to-side. See Fig.6. Side-to-side movement is

important to avoid center wear thus creating an uneven surface. If this happens, truing

the wheel with a dressing stone will be necessary

MAINTENANCE

FREQUENT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

The tool should be inspected and maintained frequently. Check and make sure the power

cord, internal wires, plug and switch are in good condition. Check the wheel, bearings and

driving parts also. Do not allow brake fluid, gasoline, petroleum-based products such as

penetrating oils to come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals which can

damage, weaken or destroy the motor housing. Service should be done by a qualified

service technician using identical replacement parts.

CLEANING WATER RESERVOIR WITH WATER

After operating your wet/dry sharpener, the water

reservoir will have accumulated material from hand

tools and wheel. It is important to keep the water

reservoir clean.

WARNING! Unplug power cord before cleaning

water reservoir, risk of electrocusion. NEVER

LEAVE WATER IN YOUR SHARPENER, the wheel

will absorb water where submerged and turn off

balance. It may freeze and crack if kept in an

unheated space.

1) Tilt and drain all water from the water reservoir

through the drain spout (A) Fig.7 at the rear of the

sharpener.

2) Fill the water reservoir with water to flush out

accumulated material.

Unplug power cord before changing

sharpening wheel.

A replacement sharpening wheel (model KM-096) is

available, follow these instructions to change wheel;

remove the 4 screws that fix the lower and upper

housings. Flip wet/dry sharpener back onto its

four rubber feet and pull off the upper cover.

2) Slip the wheel belt (A) Fig.8 off the wheel pulley.

3) Undo and remove the two fixing plates (B) on both

sides by removing the four pan head screws (C).

4) Remove the wheel and shaft assembly (D).

5) Remove the C-clip (A) Fig.9 and slide wheel pulley (B) off the shaft. Slide both brass

bushings (C) and four washers (D) of
