Inserting and Removing Sh ar pe ni ng Modul es

The tool MUST be switched OFF and disconnected from the electrical supply when
attaching or removing sharpening modules. • It is recommended to fasten the tool to a flat and stable surface, such as a bench. Use the 4 mounting holes for this and 5mm countersunk type fasteners. • The retaining clip and sharpening modules are constructed from plastic – do not use excessive force when inserting and removing sharpening modules.
The tool is equippe d with three specialised sharpening modules for various sharpening tasks. The sharpeners slide down over the grinding wheel and are held in position by guide slots in the tool body and the retaining clip. The tool can "hold" all sharpeners as it ha s s imila r guide slots on each side. To insert a sharpening module:
1. Align the mounting "rails" (A) on the edges of the sharpening module with the guide slots (B) in the tool
body on either side of the grinding wheel.
2. Slide the sharpening module down into the tool until it "clicks" into place. When correctly inserted, the
retaining clip will prevent the module from being removed [a small amount of vertical movement of the module may be noticed if you pull it upward – this is normal].
A
B
To remove a sharpening module:
1. Press down on the retaining clip (C) just enough for it to disengage from the sharpening module and hold
it there.
2. Pull the sharpening module from the tool, then release the retaining clip.

Sharpening Drills

The tool is suitable for sharpening high speed steel (HSS) and hardened steel drill bits to a nominal
118° included angle that is ideal for "normal" drilling into wood, plastic, aluminium, steel etc. It is NOT designed for sharpening carbide-t ipped m asonry bit, wood bores, counter-boring and counter-sinking tools etc. • The tool is suitable for drill diameters of 3mm (7/64") to 10mm (3/8"). • If the dril l is broken, roughly shape the drill to a point using a bench grinder before using the sharpener. • For drill bits that are damaged or severely blunted, it may take several uses of the sharpener to rectify.
1. Insert the drill sharpening module into the tool.
2. Lift the drill bit holder (A) from the sharpening module and loosen the clamping screw (B) so the drill bit
can be inserted.
3. Insert the drill bit (C) into the holder and tighten the clamping screw just enough to hold the bit but still
allow it to be easily moved.
4. Insert the bit holder into the drill setter (D). Ensure that the slots on the sides of the bit holder engage
with the "rails" in the drill setter.
5. Hold the "V" block (E) against the bit holder, then push forward lightly on the drill bit and slowly rotate it.
When the drill bit flutes are on the left and right sides and the bit is as far into the "V" block as it will go, the angle of drill rotation is correct.
6. Release the "V" block, then move the drill forward (do not rotate it) until the end of the drill bit reaches
the top of the "ramp" of the metal drill stop (F). This sets the correct distance for the drill bit to protrude from the holder.

7. Tighten the drill holder clamping screw. Be sure not to allow the drill
to move or rotate, then remove the drill holder from the drill setter.
8. Switch the tool ON, then gently insert the bit holder into the drill
guide (G). Ensure that the slots on the sides of the bit holder engage with the "rails" in the drill guide. The protruding end of the drill should be resting on the metal bar at the end of the drill guide and just touch the grinding wheel.
9. Smoothly move the grinding table (H) back and forth until there is no
longer any grinding noise or sparks.
10. Carefully lift the bit holder out of the drill guide, then turn it over, insert it into the drill guide and sharpen the other side of the drill bit.
When finished, the point where the drill flutes meet should be centred and the cutting edges should be straight (no chips etc) and equal in length.

Sharpening Scissors and Knives

The tool is suitable for sharpening steel scissors with straight, non-scalloped blades.
1. Insert the scissor sharpening module into the tool.
2. Switch the tool ON.
3. Open the scissor blades (A), with the bevelled cutting edge towards the grinding wheel. Holding the
scissor firmly, lower the blade into the scissor blade slot (B) so the pivot end of the blade is nearest the grinding wheel.
4. Evenly and with a light, steady pressure, draw the scissor blade across the grinding wheel (C) for the full
length of the blade – pivot to tip. Repeat until the blade has a straight and sharp edge (no chips etc).
5. Repeat the sharpening process for the other scissor blade.
To sharpen knives:
1. Hold the knife firmly, and bring the handle-end of the knife blade (D) to the knife slot (E).
2. Angle the knife blade with the slot then gently lower it until the bevelled edge of the blade contacts the
grinding wheel (C).
3. Evenly and with a light but steady pressure, draw the knife blade back across the grinding wheel until it
is fully removed. Repeat until the blade has a straight and sharp edge (no chips etc).
4. Repeat the sharpening process for the other side of the knife blade, using the opposite knife slot.

Sharpening Chisels

For chisels that are damaged or severely blunted, it may take several uses of the sharpener to
rectify.
1. Insert the chisel sharpening module into the tool.
2. Place the chisel (A) on the chisel bed (B) so it is hard up against the guide at the end of the bed and
held firmly by the magnets (C). For narrow chisels, clip the narrow chisel guide (D) to the bed. This ensure that the chisel can be held by the magnets.
3. Set the required angle of the chisel bed, by loosening the angle adjustment locking screw (E), then tilting
the bed to match the existing angle of the chisel bevel (the bed can be set at any angle between 20° and 40°). When set, tighten the locking screw.
4. Position the chisel so it will just contact the grinding wheel (F).
5. Switch the tool ON.
6. Evenly and with a light, steady pressure, slide the chisel bed back and forth across the grinding wheel for
the full length of the chisel. Repeat as required, moving the chisel in towards the grinding wheel a small amount each time, until the chisel has a straight and sharp edge (no chips etc).
7. Repeat the sharpening process for the other side of the chisel.

Maintenance

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed by qualified
technicians only . • Before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedure, place the motor switch in the "OFF" position and disconnect the machine from the electrical supply. • Do NOT allow water or any other liquid to get into the tool housing. • Do NOT use damaged or malfunctioning equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
After each use, brush away any tool grinding particles and, if possible, use compressed air to blow
through the tool housing. Failure to keep the internals of the tool from a build-up of grinding particles may cause overheating and/or other damage.
Clean the outside surfaces of the tool a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents, solvents
or abrasives.
Store all sharpening modules with the tool by inserting them into each side of the tool body.

Troubleshooting

The following information may assist in identifying a problem and rectifying it. NOTE: Some maintenance activities described may be beyond the scope of some users. For procedures
that you are not comfortable with or have the tools or experience for, have the unit serviced by a service centre or qualified technician.
Tool not starting.
Possible Fault Action
No electrical supply Check that the tool is connected to a 240VAC electrical supply and the supply is ON.
Power switch OFF Ensure that the tool power switch is in the ON (“I”) position.
Sharpening module not inserted or not inserted correctly
Ensure that the sharpening module is properly inserted and the retaining clip has “clicked” into place.
Sparking during use.
Possible Fault Action
Not applicable Tool grinding and electric motor operation may cause some sparks – thi s is normal.
The item being sharpened is turning blue.
Possible Fault Action
Overheating Reduce the depth of cut. • Apply less pressure. • Cool the item in water in-between
sharpening.
Note: Avoid overheating the metal as this can cause it to lose hardness.
