The Model H6069 Wet Sharpener, if prop- erly used, will help you maintain the qual- ity and life of your tools by keeping them sharp. Typical items you may sharpen with the wet sharpener include knives, chisels, planer blades, lathe tools and any other items around your shop that need to main- tain a sharp edge.
We recommend practicing with a tool of low personal value to get the feel of sharpening with this machine.
Using the wet sharpener:
1.Turn the sharpener ON with the wheel rotating towards you.
2.Set the tool rest at the desired angle.
3.Place the blade on the tool rest. Using light pressure, press the blade against the wheel and slowly move side to side. Figure 4
Operating this sharpener can propel objects into the air, causing imme- diate eye damage. To protect your- self, always wear American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved safety glasses or goggles when oper- ating this equipment.
