REF. CR/DWS

Thank you for purchasing this product.

The following symbols are used throughout these
instructions.

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss
of life or damage to the tool in case
of non-observance of the
instructions.

INTENDED USE

This product is intended to be used to sharpen
TC and HSS tools. For professional and
domestic use.

Use with Diamond Abrasive Lapping Fluid
(water can be used if necessary), this will
prevent the diamonds becoming clogged with
swarf.

SAFETY

Please read and understand the instructions
before use.

PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A
SAFE PLACE.

Users must be competent in using
woodworking equipment before using our
products.

All cutting edges are very sharp and care
must be taken to prevent injury. Never
sharpen blades towards the hand or body.

GUIDELINES

Diamond whetstones allow fast, clean stock removal,
with less effort and time required and can be used on a
variety of cutting edges.

When using diamond whetstones, certain general
guidelines should be followed to ensure that the
whetstone will give lasting performance under normal
conditions.

Follow the hints and tips explained here to help
maximise the life of your whetstone:

I All tooling should be cleaned before sharpening.

Resin build-up should be removed with Resin
Cleaner and a wire brush.

I The whetstones require a 'break-in' period. Initially

the diamond will feel coarse and will smooth over
time.

I Do not apply too much pressure. The diamond is

extremely abrasive so what would normally take 5­10 minutes on an oilstone may take approximately
20 seconds on the Diamond whetstone.

I Dry the whetstone thoroughly after use. Any wet

steel filings left on the stone after using water will
cause rust to form!

ACCESSORY

Diamond Abrasive Lapping Fluid

Ref. DWS/LF/100, DWS/LF/250, DWS/LF/500

I Suitable for use with all

diamond abrasive
products.

I Use instead of water to

reduce the threat of
rusting by 95%.

I Reduces possibility of

Harmful (Xn)

clogging the diamond
surface. Improves
diamond stone durability
and overall performance.

I Place whetstone level with the upright

single bevel.

I Stroke gently to sharpen along the curve of

the blade, towards the outside of the tool.
Test cuts on a branch or stem confirm
sufficient sharpness.

I Keep the bevel of the chisel/plane iron flat

on the whetstone. It is recommended to
use a figure of eight motion when
sharpening chisels.

I Finish with one light stroke on the back of

the chisel.

I The bevel on the back of the gouge

should be flat on the whetstone. The
gouge should then be rolled gently on the
whetstone to hone.

I Small tools should be honed as per

chisels and pointed tools as per gouges.

I Keep same angle as knife bevel on the

whetstone. The angle is 20° for most
knives.

20

∞

I Stroke away from the body, alternating on

each side of the knife. Light strokes will
produce a finer edge.

I Align whetstone flush with the bright bevel.

I Stroke smoothly

towards the outside of
the scissors. Repeat
on the other blade.

I Small burr on the

sliding blade face can
be removed with a
light stroke.

DIAMOND WHETSTONE
