Filling Reservoir
Reduce the risk of electrocution by
keeping all connections dry and off
the ground. DO NOT touch plugs
with wet hands. Failure to follow
these warning could result in serious injury.
To fill the water reservoir:
1. DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
2. Loosen the tool rest adjustment lock
handles and move the tool rest away
from the sharpening stone.
3. Fill the water reservoir. See Figure 2

nect the wet sharpener into the power
source.
Be sure the cord is positioned with
a “drip loop” below the level of
the outlet as shown above. This
prevents water from running down
the cord and into the outlet. Instead
the water will drip to the floor at the
“drip loop” on the cord.
5. Run the wet sharpener for one minute
to properly wet the stone.
6. With dry hands and a dry plug, disconnect the saw from the power source.
7. Refill the water reservoir until full and
return the tool rest to the desired location.
NOTE—It is important to keep the wheel
well lubricated while sharpening. Unplug
and refill machine as needed to maintain
an appropriate water level.

The Model H6069 Wet Sharpener, if prop
erly used, will help you maintain the quality and life of your tools by keeping them
sharp. Typical items you may sharpen with
the wet sharpener include knives, chisels,
planer blades, lathe tools and any other
items around your shop that need to maintain a sharp edge.
We recommend practicing with a tool of low
personal value to get the feel of sharpening
with this machine.
Using the wet sharpener:
1. Turn the sharpener ON with the wheel
rotating towards you.
2. Set the tool rest at the desired angle.
3. Place the blade on the tool rest.
Using light pressure, press the blade
against the wheel and slowly move
side to side. Figure 4

around and sharpen the opposite
side. NOTE—If the tool you are sharp-
ening has a one-sided edge such as a
chisel or planer blade, DO NOT follow
this step.
MAINTENANCE
Reservoir Rinsing
With use, the water reservoir will begin to
fill with ground material from the objects
being sharpened and wheel particles
removed during the sharpening process.
Keep the water reservoir clean and free of
residue build up.
To rinse the water reservoir:
1. UNPLUG THE SHARPENER FROM
THE POWER SOURCE.
2. Tilt the sharpener to drain any water
in the reservoir through the drain
trough on the back of the sharpener.
3. Move the tool rest away from the
grinding wheel.
4. Fill the reservoir with fresh water and
empty from the drain trough. Repeat
until clean.
Reduce the risk of electrocution by
keeping all connections dry and off
the ground. DO NOT touch plugs
with wet hands. Failure to follow
these warning could result in serious injury.
