SHARPENING BLADES (3a-3g)

Slide m

odule ‘chisel and plane sharpener’ onto the power unit

Place the blade against the back lip of the plate (3a). The magnet helps hold in
place.

The sharpening angle must match the existing beveled angle on the blade tip.
Adjust if necessary.

To alter the angle, loosen the angle adjusting knob (3c), adjust the plate and then
tighten the angle adjusting know.

Make sure the blade edge touches the grinding wheel, then switch the Power Unit
on.

Slide the blade and plate with light steady pressure back and forth across the
grinding wheel in a continuous motion (3d). Do not hold the blade stationary, this
causes irregular sharpening.

Gradually adjust the blade down the plate while sharpening (3e). Do not press hard.
Grind gradually. Repeat if necessary.

Remove the blade and make sure the beveled edge and tip are evenly sharp. If not,
adjust the grinding angle. It is important that the sharpening angle matches the
existing beveled angle of the blade. This avoids removing too much mental
unnecessarily and keeps plane blades at their optimum shaving angle (3f)

When sharpening thin chisel blades, place the small chisel guide onto the plate to
act as a spacer and sharpen as before (3g)

10. Switch the Power Unit off. Before removing the module, ensure that the grinding

wheel has stopped

11. Recommend that after grinding, the blade tip is honed on an oil stone.
