Sharpening
1. Switch the sharpener on, then move the top section of the drill bit
sharpening module from side to side to sharpen both cutting edges
(See Fig B)
NOTE: Amount of sharpening required will depend upon the condition of
the cutting edges
2. Turn the grinder off, remove the drill clamp from the shoe, and then
re-insert it the other way up in order to sharpen the other side of the
cutting edges
3. Repeat the sharpening procedure for an equal amount of time then
switch off the grinder
4. Lift the clamp out of the shoe and check that the leading edges of both
flutes are equally sharp. They should meet exactly in the middle
5. Repeat the sharpening procedure to correct any misalignment as
necessary
6. Switch the sharpener off and allow the grinding wheel to come to a
complete stop before removing the sharpening module
Sharpening chisels and plane irons
• The Multipurpose Sharpener will sharpen chisels and plane irons 6 –
51mm width (1/4” – 2”)
Preparation
1. Slide the Chisel & Plane Sharpening Module (9) into position on the
Drive Unit (1)
2. Place the blade on the Tool Bed (12) so that the side of the chisel or
plane iron abuts the lip on the far edge of the tool bed. The magnets
will help to secure the blade in position
NOTE: For narrow chisel blades, fit the Spacer (13) on to the lip, and abut
the chisel to the spacer
3. Check that the angle of the tool bed matches the existing bevelled
angle on the blade. This is important to maintain blades at their
optimum shaving angle
4. To adjust the angle of the tool bed, loosen the Angle Adjustment
Dial (10), tilt the tool bed to the correct angle (use the pointer and
angle calibrations on the module as a guide), then tighten the angle
adjustment dial to secure the tool bed at the correct angle
5. Check that the edge of the blade is in contact with the grinding wheel
and that the Guard (11) is fitted. DO NOT use the chisel & plane
sharpening module without the guard in place
Sharpening
6. Switch on the sharpener and, holding the tool in position, move the
tool bed back and forth across the grinding wheel, using steady
pressure and a continuous, consistent motion (See Fig C)
7. Do not allow the blade to remain stationary – this will cause uneven
sharpening
8. Gradually adjust the blade down the tool bed whilst sharpening,
maintaining consistent light pressure
9. Remove the blade and check the bevelled edge and tip are sharp and
even across their entire width
10. If necessary, continue the sharpening procedure to correct any
misalignment
11. Switch the sharpener off and allow the grinding wheel to come to a
complete stop before removing the sharpening module
12. After grinding, it is recommended that you hone the blade on an oil
stone
Sharpening knives and scissors
• The Multipurpose Sharpener will sharpen all straight edged knives and
scissors
1. To sharpen knives and scissors, slide the Knife & Scissors Sharpening
Module (15) into position on the Drive Unit (1)
Sharpening knives
1. Switch the sharpener on
2. Fully insert the knife blade into one of the Knife Sharpening Slots (17),
so that the cutting edge is facing the grinding wheel (See Fig D)
3. Bring the blade into contact with the grinding wheel and draw it slowly
towards you, using light pressure to keep the blade in contact with the
grinding wheel right to the tip of the blade
4. Turn the knife over and insert the blade in the opposite knife
sharpening slot. Repeat step 3 to sharpen the other side of the blade
5. Repeat sharpening each side of the blade in turn until a clean, sharp
edge is attained
6. Switch the sharpener off and allow the grinding wheel to come to a
complete stop before removing the sharpening module
Sharpening scissors
1. Switch the sharpener on
2. Open the scissors fully
3. Place one of the blades in the Scissor Sharpening Slot (16), keeping
the pivot of the scissors and the other blade to the right hand side.
See Fig E
4. Draw the blade across the grinding wheel from pivot to tip. Use a light,
steady pressure; do not press hard
5. Remove and turn the scissors over to sharpen the other blade
6. Repeat sharpening each blade in turn until clean, sharp edges are
attained
7. Switch the sharpener off and allow the grinding wheel to come to a
complete stop before removing the sharpening module
Maintenance
WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before
carrying out any maintenance/cleaning.
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, shortening the machine’s service life. Clean the
body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use
clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Disposal
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment, with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of tools
