1. Choose either short or long center location for pulley depending on
preference.
2. Select desired sharpening angle by moving the Angle Adjustment Lever.
3. Tighten Angle Selection Clamp Knob to secure selected angle.
4. Mount the belt of your choice based on task at hand (see chart left).
5. Turn on power to medium speed and press switch lock out button.
6. Ensure belt is tracking properly so it is centered on the pulleys.
7. Place blade flat onto reference plate
(see fig. 1).
8. While keeping blade flat, move up onto belt surface and place the heel
of the blade edge onto the abrasive. Use very light pressure on belt
(3/16” deflection).
9. Move blade flat across abrasive (1” per second) and stop the tip on the
middle of the belt. Then pull blade away from the belt.
10. Continue until a burr is raised along entire edge (count strokes).
11. Repeat same number of strokes on other side of blade.
12. Continue up the grit scale until desired sharpness is achieved.
13. Ensure tracking and tension is properly set when you change belts.
n Best Techniques:
Be mindful that accommodations will need to be made for every blade
such as thumb studs, pocket clips, blade profile or handle design. Test run
the blade through the process on both bevels without power first to ensure
accommodations can be made before sharpening.
Do not over tension belt or it may negatively affect belt tracking or motor
performance.
