The universal support should never be placed in the vertical mounts while using the leather stropping wheel. Working against the direction of rotation in this case will cause severe damage to the leather wheel.
Working with the rotation yields much more precise results and removes less material. Use this method for finer tools, such as knives or carving tools.
Do not make adjustments while the machine is running. Disconnect the grinder from power before attempting to make adjustments to the universal support, water reservoir, changing wheels or the angle guide.
