4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry

location to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or

attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain
applications for which this tool was designed. It will do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this
tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught

in moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to
contain long hair. Wear work gloves to protect hands.

7. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety

goggles when working. Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal

Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activites, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are: A) Lead from lead-based paints; B) Crystalline cilica from bricks and
cement or other masonry products; C) 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. (California Health & Safety Code

Overview

These tools are designed to be used with a slow speed wet grinder (not included).
Harbor Freight Tools 8” Wet Grinder item number 95236 is used in the photos as an
example. The Standard Bracket Unit discussed on page 7 and shown in several
photos is included with item 95236. These jigs will hold your wood, cloth or leather
cutting tools in position while being sharpened on a grinder.

Wood Cutting Tool or Scissor Sharpening Tips

1. Preserve the correct angle. The cutting angle is the angle of the cutting
edge to the face of the tool. The best angle for each tool depends on the tool
and the material being cut. In most cases, it is best to reproduce the angle
originally supplied by the manufacturer on your tool.

2. Preserve the edge shape. Each cutting tool has a unique edge shape best
suited for its purpose. It may be curved, straight, beveled or other. When
sharpening, be careful to retain the edge shape of the tool.

3. Do not overheat. Use a wet, low speed grinder to sharpen tools. A high
speed grinder will heat up the cutting edge of the tool, removing the hardness
of the edge. A soft edge will not remain sharp for long and will not cut properly.

4. Burnish or hone the edge after grinding. Grinding produces an
approximately correct cutting edge. Some burrs or scratches will always
remain on the cutting edge after grinding. For best results, take the time to
hone (using a sharpening stone) or burnish (using a hardened steel honing
tool) the edge before beginning work.

5. Protect the edge from damage. The sharpened edge is extremely thin,
sharp and subject to damage. Store your cutting tools with care to prevent
damage to the edge from banging against other objects or from corrosion.

6. Touch up the edge periodically. Occasionally touch up the cutting edge of
your tools with a honing stone or burnisher. This will keep your tools sharp and
ready for use, and will result in less wear to the cutting tool than repeated
grinding.

7. Grinding wheel direction. In most cases with chisels, knives and scissors,
position the tool so the grinding wheel will turn from the base of the tool toward
the edge of the tool. With axes and blunt tools, have the grinding wheel rotate
from the cutting edge toward the base of the tool.

8. Inner curve gouges. In this manual, most instructions are given based on the
beveled edge of the tool being on the outside. In some cases, the beveled
edge of a gouge is on the inner or concave part of the cutting edge. With tools
of this type, a special profiled grinding wheel is required for sharpening.

device as shown in the assembly
diagram at the bottom of this page.

2. Mount the assembled device on a
standard bracket unit as in the
illustration at right.

3. Mount your scissors (not included)

the outer face of the blade should
be against the Scissors Support
(1). Please refer to the illustration.

4. Adjust the device so the cutting edge of the scissor blade lightly rests on the
grinding wheel. Adjust the position of the scissor blade, so when moved
sideways, it will lightly move along the surface of the grinding wheel.
NOTE: The goal of sharpening scissors is to create a cutting edge at
approximately 90° to the flat inner surface of the scissor blade. The cutting
edge will be very slightly hollowed (4” radius) based in the diameter of the
grinding wheel.

5. Turn on the grinding wheel. Slide the scissor blade across the grinding wheel
to sharpen its full length. Repeat as necessary. Turn the grinding wheel OFF
when finished.

6. Repeat this process with the other blade.

7. Shut off and disconnect from electric supply when finished.
