General Operating Instructions
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not operate with ANY guard disabled, damaged, or removed.
1.Sharpening Scissors -
If possible take the scissors apart to make the sharpening operation easier and safer. Remove material only from the outside surface and work from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
2.Sharpening Screwdrivers - The end of a properly sharpened screwdriver will be a perfect rectan- gle, absolutely flat and perpendicular to the center line of the shank. The two sides and two faces will taper
outward from the edge of the shank of the screwdriver. They should be flat with intersecting faces perpen- dicular. Hold each face of the screw- driver against the wheel to true it up, then ease the end straight into the stone to grind it true.
3.Sharpening Knives -
Remove metal from both faces of most knives, working from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
4.Sharpening Twist Drill Bits - Drill bits are best sharpened on a sharpening jig but some sharpening can be done on your bench grinder. Begin on one side of the point at the existing angle, then twist the bit while maintaining a constant angle with the grinding surface. Sharpen only the tip. This technique requires consider- able practice so try it a few times with the grinder off. Be sure to maintain the original cutting edge angle as this is important to maintaining the effi- ciency of your bits.
5.To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool in- doors out of children’s reach.
