Sharpening
The leather stropping wheel on the Model T10097 and the included abrasive strop- ping paste can be used to obtain a razor sharp edge on many tools. Before use, the stropping wheel must be properly prepared.
The preparations below will be sufficient for sharpening five to ten tools. If you notice a drop in sharpening performance or have sharpened more than ten tools, repeat as necessary.
To prepare the stropping wheel:
1.. DISCONNECT GRINDER FROM POWER!
2.. Secure the universal support in the horizontal mounts so that sharpening will be performed with the direction of rotation.
Never sharpen against the direction of rotation. The edge of the tool may dig into the leather wheel, damaging the wheel and causing the tool to eject from the machine. This could result in personal injury
3.. Evenly apply a light machine oil to the leather wheel. Use enough oil to provide a thorough coating, but not so much as to saturate the leather and result in dripping.
4.. Apply a thin coat of abrasive honing paste to the leather wheel using a wooden spreader or similar device. Distribute the paste evenly by hand- turning the wheel while spreading.
5.. Turn the machine ON and continue to distribute the paste, still using the wooden spreader. Move the spreader lightly in a circular motion across the wheel.
6.Once the paste is evenly distributed, begin sharpening.
