GENERAL & SPECIFIC

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood

by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this

product, but must be supplied by the operator. Performance of this tool may vary

depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool

performance.

VOLTAGE WARNING

Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, ect.) be sure the voltage

supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. If one says 120V and

the other says 115V then there will be no complications. Never try to plug a 120V tool into

a 240V outlet, or the other way around. A voltage greater than that specified on the tool

can result in SERIOUSINJURY to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO

NOTPLUGINTHETOOL.

WARNING: YOUR SHARPENER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP,

BRANCH CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN

INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized

two-prong plug (one blade is wider than the other).

This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter or

change the plug in any way. Double insulation

eliminates the need for three wire grounded power

supply and grounded power cords.

EXTENSION CORDS

Improper use of extension cords may cause

inefficient operation of your tool which can result

in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is

rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.

If you are using the tool outdoors, use an

extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified

by “WA” on the jacket).

The extension cord must have a minimum wire

size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size

is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the

greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length

determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the

chart in Fig.1B to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation.

the clamp lightly to leave the drill bit free to move.

3) Place the clamp containing your drill bit into the

setting slot (D), using the grooves in the side to

lower it in correctly.

4) Move the drill bit forward up so that it lays in the

“V” guide and touches the metal end stop (E).

5) Turn the drill bit until the V guide fully drops over

it. All four drill bit corners should now be touching

the V guide sides.

6) Ensure that the drill and holder are fully down in

the setting slot. With the drill bit in this position,

tighten the clamping ring (B) by turning it clockwise.

7) Lift up the “V” guide and remove the clamp and drill bit.

8) Transfer the clamp and drill bit (A) Fig.4 into the clamp holder (B).

FIGURE 6

SHARPENING CHISELS & PLANE BLADES

WARNING! Before installing the chisel & plane blade guide attachment on the

sharpener base, make sure the sharpener is unplugged and the on/off switch is in ‘’O’’

position.

1) Slide the chisel & plane blade guide attachment

(A) Fig.7 into the slots on the side facing the

diamond wheel. Make sure to push it all the way

down until it clamps into place.

2) Place the blade/chisel against the tool rest (B).

The magnets (C) help to hold it in place.

3) The sharpening angle must match the existing

bevel angle on the blade tip. Therefore the tool

rest angle must be adjusted. Loosen lock knob

(D) and adjust the angle of the tool rest (B). The

adjustable angle is from 15° to 50°. Make sure

the blade or chisel edge touches the diamond

wheel. Tighten lock knob (D).

4) Turn the sharpener On (switch in the “I” position).

5) Slide the blade/chisel and tool rest with light steady pressure back and forth across the

diamond wheel in a continuous motion. Do not hold the blade/chisel stationary. This

causes irregular sharpening.

6) Gradually adjust the blade/chisel down the tool rest while sharpening. Do not press

hard. Grind gradually, repeating the step.

7) Remove the blade and make sure the beveled edge and tip are evenly sharp. If not,

adjust the tool rest angle. It is important that the sharpening angle matches the existing

beveled angle of the blade. This avoids removing too much metal unnecessarily and

keeps plane blades at their optimum shaving angle.

8) When sharpening thin chisel blades, place the small chisel guide (E) onto the tool rest

to act as a spacer and sharpen.

9) Turn the sharpener Off (switch in the “O” position). Before removing the chisel & plane

blade guide attachment, make sure the diamond wheel has completely stopped.

10) It is recommended to hone the blade tip on an oil stone after sharpening.

Maintenance

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

cord, plug and switch are in good condition. Check the diamond wheel 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.
