To extend the life of your sharpener, we
recommend a routine maintenance pro-
gram be put in place. Every 200-
machine hours is suggested, or more of-
ten if necessary.
Vacuum system:
Check filter on a regular basis.
Inspect all hoses for cuts or tears. Do not use ma-
chine if hoses are damaged.
• Unplug vacuum from power source.
• Using a ¼ hex key wrench remove bolt and
washer.
• Wearing protective gloves, remove top ½
cover of vacuum canister, remove filter car-
tridge. Appropriately dispose of used filter.
• Unthread plastic nut retaining bottom ½ of
vacuum canister, remove bottom ½ of vac-
uum canister.
• Clean out residual grinding dust from bottom
of canister.
• Replace with new filter cartridge.
NOTE: When reassembling, make sure the
rim of the top ½ of vacuum canister is
seated into gasket channel on bottom ½ of
vacuum canister.
Lube cycle:
Oil Lubrication Screen
After 250 sharpening cycles, the “OIL
LUBRICATION” screen will come up and
your machine will need to go through
the self-lubing process.
• Remove drill from chuck.
• Touch the “CHECK” Icon . This will begin
the self-lubing cycle. Keep hands free
from machine, as it goes into the lubing
process, the X, Z and A axis will begin to
move. The lube cycle will last 45 seconds.
Upon completion, the lubing screen will disap-
pear and the original screen will return.
Do not interrupt or stop machine once
the lubing cycle has begun. If cycle is
interrupted when the machine has
moved beyond the limit switches, it will not
be able to find the home position. If this oc-
curs, call Darex, 800-547-0222.
Grinding motor belt change:
• Touch the “BELT CHANGE” Button on
the Tools, Offset & Maintenance screen.
The X axis will move into position. The ma-
chine will go into an
on hold mode and the
motors will shut down.
• Once the “RESTART” screen has
come up on the screen, you can
proceed.
• For safety, power down machine and unplug
AC power from machine.
• To remove the
inspection plate
located at the
back of the ma-
chine, use a
2.5mm hex key
wrench to re-
move the 4;
3mm BHS.
• Belt and pulley
will now be ex-
posed. Using a
3/16 hex key
wrench, loosen
the 4; ¼-20
SHCS bolts lo-
cated on the
motor mount
extrusion,
enough to slide
the motor/pulley
assembly to the
right, allowing the belt to slip off.
• After replacing belt and before tightening up
the 4; ¼-20 SHCS bolts, allow the weight of
the motor to tension the belt.
• Once the motor/pulley is secure, replace in-
spection plate and screws.
• After changing or adjusting the belt, you must
power down the machine using the On/Off
switch.
• Restart and run Self Test Initialization pro-
gram.
