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 leather stropping wheel may
wobble slightly during use. this is
normal and will not affect the perfor-
mance of the wheel or the results of
the sharpening process.
NOTICE
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.
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 or property
damage.
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.

2. secure the universal support in the
