piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.
25. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD _NGOOD CONDiTiON When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
wil! 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.
2& ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT _NHAUNG 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 harmfut
material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

SPECmFIC 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.

the vicinity.
2=
NEVER FORCE THE WORKPIEOE AGAINST A GRINDING WHEEL, especially
if the wheel is cold. Apply the workpiece slowly, allowing the grinding wheel
an opportunity to warm up. This wilI 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 Jess from the wheel.

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 fiat 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 iniury 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.

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 unti! 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.
