12. SHARPENING

STONE...is

provided

for

frequent

sharpening

of

the

Cutting

Tool

REMEMBER

THAT

WHEN THE TOOL 1S SHARP, HALF OF THE JOB IS

DONE,

Apply

a

generous

amount

of light

household

oil

(Do

not

use

motor

0il)

to

the

stone,

and

with

a circular

motion

hone

the

entire

rounded

edge of the toot while

holding

it

firmly.

Make

sure

the

stone is afways in contact with the entire

length

of

the

rounded

end...do

not

just

hone

the

poi

nt,

Honing will

cause a burr to appear on the tip of the tool

which

must

be removed.

Hold

the

tool

firmly while

carefully

sliding the stone

straight up and down in the groove on the top side until

the burr is removed. A slight burr may now appear on

the rounded end which must be removed.

Repeat honing the rounded end and the groove until

the

burr

disappears.

Always

move

the

stone

in a straight

line...do

not "rock

it,"

otherwise

you

will

"round

over"

the cutting

edge

and

the

tool

will

be

dull.
