IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

REMEMBER, FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ
INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING TOOL. Wear
Eye Protection. Never touch internal parts of the sharpener when
the sharpener is on. The rotating diamond grinding wheel can cause
injury. Use caution when replacing the grinding wheel. Follow
instructions entitled “Replacing The Grinding Wheel” in this
Instruction Manual. Regularly empty accumulated grinding dust.
Follow instructions entitled “Drill Doctor Maintenance” in this
Instruction Manual.

WARNING : WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO PREVENT THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONALINJURY.

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

2. REMOVE WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that the
wrench is removed from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREACLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.

4. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations, avoid exposure to rain.

5. STORE EQUIPMENT in a safe place when not in use.

6. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.

7. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job it was
not designed for.

8. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistance lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

9. MAINTAIN TOOL WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best
and safest performance.

10. DISCONNECT TOOLS from the power supply before
servicing,when cleaning accessories.

11. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF “
position before plugging in.

12. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

13. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
assure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,break­age of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. Aguard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.

14. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.

15. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current the Drill Doctor® will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and/or overheating. Maximum cord length (5O ft), minimum
gauge (16). The smaller the gauge the heavier the cord.

CONGRATULATIONS

You have just purchased the finest, most accurate and best engineered drill bit sharpener ever created for home
and professional use. It is likely that your experience with this sharpener will be unlike any sharpener you have used
before. W e hope that in the next several minutes you will discover how Professional Tool Manufacturing LLC and the Drill
Doctor® help to SIMPLY improve the quality of your life (and your drill bits’ too!).

Before you sharpen your first drill bit

Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your new Drill Doctor® and its basic parts. We will refer to all
of the parts and features (Figure 1) during the course of this manual and in the video. There are some features and char­acteristics unique to the Drill Doctor® which are explained and illustrated within the instruction section of this manual and
the video. Don’t worry, the time it takes to watch the video or read this manual will be made up when you sharpen your
first drill bits. Keep in mind that learning to sharpen drill bits is like learning to ride a bike: it takes a few tries to get it
right, so you should expect that it may take a couple of drill bits to get the “point”.

About the Drill Doctor®and this manual

The Drill Doctor® is most efficient when used to resharpen a drill bit’s original point angle. It has been designed
and engineered to sharpen three of the most common drill bit types: standard 118°, high-performance split point 135°, and
carbide 135° masonry (see page 9 for illustrations and applications). With its standard diamond grinding wheel it will sharp­en high-speed steel, cobalt, parabolic, TiN coated, and solid carbide drill bits. The troubleshooting section of this manual is
designed to anticipate many common questions and applications. To keep your Drill Doctor® and your drill bits in top con­dition please refer to the maintenance section of this manual. Available replacement wheels and parts are shown in the
exploded diagram (page 8). They are available from Drill Doctor® or your dealer. Please note that the symbols
refer to the three tubes and the refers to the paddle on the Drill Doctor®.

QUICK OPERATING STEPS

Models 500SP & 750SP

A. Setting for split point style (full instructions page 4)

1. Determine the point angle of your drill by placing the drill point in the
point angle gauges. See A-1

A-1

2. Insert a chuck (without drill) into the sharpening tube and pull the
loop handle out. Move point angle indicator to the setting needed (118°
or 135°). Make sure the loop seats properly. See A-2

QUICK STEPS

3. Pull the alignment tube handle slightly away from the housing and
move to the (Split Point) setting. See A-3

B. Aligning the drill bit (full instructions page 4 and figure 9)

1. Insert the drill loosely into the chuck. Tighten the chuck knob clock­wise, then loosen it so the metal chuck jaws are just loose enough for
the drill bit to slide in and out.

2. Align the flat on the chuck with the flat in the alignment tube .
See B-1

3. Push the paddle to open the blue spring steel pawls. See A-3. Push
chuck and drill assembly into alignment tube so that the flat on the
chuck is entirely hidden. See B-2

4. Push the drill in to the drill stop. Release the paddle and rotate the drill
by the shank until the pawls grip inside the drill flutes. Keep the drill bit
pushed to the drill stop and turn the chuck knob clockwise to tighten the
jaws onto the drill bit. Push the paddle back and remove the chucked
drill (see Figures 8 and 24 for correct alignment and terminology).

C. Sharpening the drill bit point (full instructions page 5)

1. Turn the switch below the sharpening tube on. Position the sharpen­er so that you are looking at it from the perspective shown in C-1. Insert
the chuck in the tube .

2. Rotate the chuck clockwise, in half rotation increments, 12 to 20 times
(on a medium size drill bit 1/4” to 3/8” ) in the sharpening tube . It
is important to keep consistent pressure going INTO the tube . Let the
cam dictate the natural in and out sharpening motion. The sharpening
will occur in the low part of the chuck cam. Do not push the chuck
down to the base. See C-2

D. Splitting the drill point (full instructions page 6)

1. Move the chucked drill to the point splitting tube and again
match the flats on the chuck with the flats in the tube . Insert the
chucked drill until the flats are touching and the chuck does not
rotate.

2. Slowly pull the chuck forward giving the drill bit one or two short
”pecks” on the wheel. Repeat untill the split is to the middle of the
drill point. T o avoid over -splitting inspect the drill point periodicaly.
See D-1

3. Pull the chuck out of the point split tube just far enough to rotate the
chuck 180°. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
