GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operating a Utility Sharpener can be dangerous if safety and common sense
are ignored. The operator must be familiar with the operation of the tool. Read
this manual to understand this Utility Sharpener. DO NOT operate this Utility
Sharpener if you do not fully understand the limitations of this tool. DO NOT
modify this Utility Sharpener in any way.
BEFORE USING THE UTILITY SHARPENER
To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and
Operating Instructions before operating the Utility Sharpener.
1. Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some exam-
ples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
2. READ the entire Owner's Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended
applications.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be
plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to ground the
tool and provide protection against accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the
3rd prong. See Grounding Instructions on page 5.
4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use electrical tools
in a damp environment or expose them to rain.
5. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
6. ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and organized. DO NOT work in an
environment with floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and wax.
7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT permit people to be in the
immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for which it was not designed.
It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the
tool was intended.
9,
WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewelry. These items can get caught in the machine during operations and pull the
operator into the moving parts. You must wear a protective cover on your hair, if
your hair is long, to prevent itfrom contacting any moving parts.
10.
ALWAYSWEAREYEPROTECTION.Anypowertoolcanthrow
debrisintotheeyesduringoperations,whichcouldcausesevere
andpermanenteyedamage.Everydayeyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that comply with
ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating power tools. Safety Goggles
are available at Sears Retail Stores.
11. ALWAYS WEAR HEARING PROTECTION. Plain cotton is not an acceptable
protective device. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI $3.19 Standards.
12. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE when
making adjustments, changing parts or performing any maintenance.
13. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
14. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that the power switch is in the "OFF"
position before plugging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.
15. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the immediate area prior to turning
"ON" the Utility Sharpener.
16. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use of incorrect or improper ac-
cessories could cause serious injury to the operator and cause damage to the tool.
If in doubt, check the instruction manual that comes with that particular accessory.
17. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the
"OFF" position. DO NOT leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
18. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips over or you
accidentally contact the tool.
19. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool where anyone might try to stand on
the tool to reach it.
20. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil
resistant rubber-soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.
21. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean and in good working
order. Keep all blades and tool bits sharp.
22. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING
THE TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they operate properly, are not
damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding
or breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
immediately repaired or replaced.
23. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by removing switch keys, unplugging tools
from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
24. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
25. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is possible, use clamps or jigs to secure the work-
piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.
26.USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. The table on the next page shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt
of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and over-
heating. USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG
GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE
TOOL'S PLUG.
27. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST
OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and
asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well
ventilated area to provide for dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever
possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid
breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get
into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful
material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GUIDE LINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix
"W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet
areas.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path
of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have
the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely under-
stand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDIATELY.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR UTILITY SHARPENERS
The operation of the Utility Sharpener can result in debris being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI standard
Z87.1) when operating the Utility Sharpener. Safety Goggles are
available at Sears Retail Stores. Keep your thumbs and fingers
away from the grinding wheels.
1.
THE UTILITY SHARPENER MAY PRODUCE SPARKS AND DEBRIS DURING
GRINDING OPERATIONS. Be sure that there are not any flammable materials in
the vicinity.
2.
NEVER FORCE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST A GRINDING WHEEL, especially
if the wheel is cold. Apply the workpiece slowly, allowing the grinding wheel
an opportunity to warm up. This will minimize the chance of wheel breakage.
DO NOT grind using the sides of the grinding wheels. DO NOT apply coolant
directly to the grinding wheel.
3.
THE DIAMETER OF THE GRINDING WHEEL WILL DECREASE WITH USE.
Adjust the tool rests to maintain a distance of 1/8" or less from the wheel.
4.
KEEP ALL TOOL RESTS IN PLACE. DO NOT USE THE UTILITY SHARPENER
WITH THE TOOL RESTS REMOVED. KEEP THE TOOL RESTS FIRMLY
TIGHTENED.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The Sears CRAFTSMAN Utility Sharpener is designed with numerous features to quickly
and safely sharpen various items around the house and shop. A fine grit grinding wheel
is used to produce a sharp and precise cutting edge. Two multi-position tool rests pro-
vide a firm work surface at a variety of angles. A water trough is used to keep the
grinding wheel and the workpiece cool during sharpening operations. The Utility
Sharpener additionally has been outfitted with an electrical power switch that permits
the grinding wheel to rotate in the Forward and Reverse directions.
The Utility Sharpener will put a sharp edge on knives, scissors, and flat chisels with
a minimal amount of effort and skill needed by the user. Sharp tools cut more quickly,
safely and efficiently. A dull edge will require the user to apply more pressure to the
workpiece, possibly causing injury to the user. Keeping the cutting tools sharp will pro-
vide many years of useful service. Periodic sharpening will prevent the tools from losing
the bevel that was put on by the manufacturer originally. The factory bevel is what you
should use when sharpening any tool.

discarded.
6.
The Utility Sharpener IS NOT to be used as a Bench Grinder to remove large
amounts of material. The grinding wheel rotates much slower than a Bench Grinder.
The grinding wheel uses a much finer grit grinding wheel than a Bench Grinder's
grinding wheel.

6. Plug in the power cord and turn ON the Utility Sharpener. Let the tool run for one
minute. This will let the grinding wheel absorb some of the water and provide a cool
grinding surface.
7. After one minute, turn OFF the Utility Sharpener and unplug the power cord from
the electrical receptacle. Proceed to fill the water trough until water is almost about
to spill out of the drainage opening in the rear of the Utility Sharpener.
8. The Water Trough will need to be refilled occasionally during extended sharpening
operations.
9. Return the front tool rest back into position.
10. Adjust both the front and rear tool rests until they are approximately 1/8" from the
grinding wheel. Firmly tighten all four of the lock knobs.
11. Carefully inspect the item to be sharpened. Look for any cracks or bends. If the item
is damaged, then discard it. DO NOT attempt to sharpen a damaged tool.
Partially fill a measuring cup with tap water.
Proceed to slowly pour approximately 3-6
ounces of water over the stone as shown
in Fig. C.
Do not have the Utility Sharpener operating
while pouring in the water. The rotating grinding
wheel will cause water to be splashed possibly
onto the electrical switch.
