• Tool should only be used with sharpening cassette installed.
Unintended Uses:
• Industrial or commercial grinding or sharpening applications.
• Extended, continuous heavy duty use beyond 20 minutes per hour.
Troubleshooting:
a) Problem: The tips of my knives are becoming rounded.
Solution 1: Stopping the tip on the belt while powering down the tool will
reduce tip rounding.
Solution 2: Keep the blade edge perpendicular to the belt to reduce tip
rounding.
b) Problem: The belt is cutting into the guide or sharpening cassette.
Solution 1: With the sharpening guide removed, use the red belt tracking
knob to re-adjust the belt position to center of the pulley.
c) Problem: How do I feel for a burr at the cutting edge to know when to
proceed from P220 to 6000?
Solution 1: Slide your finger perpendicular and away from the cutting edge.
The burr will feel like a small 'ridge' or 'wire' at the edge.
d) Problem: My knives are cutting into my sharpening guides.
Solution 1: Use much lighter pressure in the sharpening guides. Using only
the weight of the blade while in the sharpening guide provides best results.
