examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated
area,and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
2. READ the entire Owner’s Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended
applications.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be
plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to ground
the tool and provide protection against accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove
the 3rd prong. See Grounding Instructions on page 6.
4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use electrical
tools in a damp environment or expose them to rain.
5. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
6. ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and organized. DO NOT work in
an environment with floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and
wax.
7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT permit people to be in the
immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
23. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by removing switch keys, unplugging
tools from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
24. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR
ALCOHOL.
25. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is
safer than attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.
26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. The table on the next page showsthe correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge.The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the
extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter
and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in a loss of power and overheating.USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD
THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.
27. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS
DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate
tool in well ventilated area to provide for dust removal. Use dust collection
system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer,
and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed
areas with soap and water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GUIDE LINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or or have it repaired by a qualified

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR UTILITY SHARPENERS
The operation of the Utility Sharpener can result in debris being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that
comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating the Utility Sharpener. Keep
your thumbs and fingers away from the grinding wheels.
1. THE UTILITY SHARPENER MAY PRODUCE SPARKS AND DEBRIS DURING
GRINDING OPERATIONS. Be sure that there are not any flammable materials in
the vicinity.
2. NEVER FORCE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST A GRINDING WHEEL, especially
if the wheel is cold. Apply the workpiece slowly, allowing the
grinding wheel an opportunity to warm up. This will minimize
the chance of wheel breakage. DO NOT grind using the sides
of the grinding wheels. DO NOT apply coolant
3. THE DIAMETER OF THE GRINDING WHEEL WILL DECREASE WITH USE.
Adjust the tool rests to maintain a distance of 1/8” or less from the wheel.
4. KEEP ALL TOOL RESTS IN PLACE. DO NOT USE THE UTILITY SHARPENER
WITH THE TOOL RESTS REMOVED. KEEP THE TOOL RESTS FIRMLYdirectly
to the grinding wheel.

The Utility Sharpener is designed with numerous features to quickly and safely sharpen
various items around the house and shop. A fine grit grinding wheel is used to produce a
sharp and precise cutting edge. Two multi-position tool rests provide a firm work surface at
a variety of angles. A water trough is used to keep the grinding wheel and the workpiece cool
during sharpening operations. The Utility Sharpener additionally has been outfitted with an
electrical power switch that permits the grinding wheel to rotate in the Forward and Reverse
directions.

KEY PARTS DIAGRAN
The Utility Sharpener will put a sharp edge on knives, scissors, and flat chisels
with a minimal amount of effort and skill needed by the user. Sharp tools cut more
quickly,safely and efficiently. A dull edge will require the user to apply more pressure
to the workpiece, possibly causing injury to the user. Keeping the cutting tools sharp
will provide many years of useful service. Periodic sharpening will prevent the tools
from losing the bevel that was put on by the manufacturer originally. The factory
bevel is what you should use when sharpening any tool.
Sharpening is an easy operation to perform
as long as the following items are followed:
1. CLEAN the item to be sharpened prior to beginning any sharpening operations.
2. ALWAYS use the factory bevel (cutting edge angle) as a guide to sharpening
the tool.
3. SHARPEN the tools prior to starting any job involving the tools. The user will
then be less likely to rush the sharpening procedure, and then will do a safer and
betterjob.
4. SHARPEN the tools in numerous light pressure passes instead of heavily pressing
the tool against the grinding wheel. Light passes will be safer and produce a much
sharper edge on the tool. Heavy passes will create a ragged and rough edge on
the tool.
5. DO NOT sharpen toolsthat are cracked or bent. A damaged tool should be
discarded.
6. The Utility Sharpener IS NOT to be used as a Bench Grinder to remove large
amounts of material. The grinding wheel rotates much slower than a Bench Grinder.
The grinding wheel uses a much finer grit grinding wheel than a Bench Grinder’s
grinding wheel.

OPERATING THE UTILITY SHARPENER
The Utility Sharpener is designed for sharpening knives, scissors, flat chisels, and
more.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION! Hot sparks may be produced during sharpening
operations.
1. The electrical power switch must be in the OFF position.
2. The power cord must be unplugged from the electrical receptacle.
3. Place the Utility Sharpener on flat, firm, and water-resistant surface.
4. Loosen the two lock knobs that hold the front tool rest until the tool rest can be
moved away from the stone. The lock knobs may be repositioned by pulling the
knob out slightly. This permits the knob to be rotated for additional loosening or
tightening.
5. Partially fill a measuring cup with tap water.Proceed to slowly pour approximately
3-6 ounces of water over the stone as shown
in Fig.4.
Do not have the Utility Sharpener operating
while pouring in the water. The rotating
grinding wheel will cause water to be splashed
possibly onto the electrical switch.
Figure 4
6. Plug in the power cord and turn ON the Utility Sharpener. Let the tool run for
one minute. This will let the grinding wheel absorb some of the water and provide
a cool grinding surface.
7. After one minute, turn OFF the Utility Sharpener and unplug the power cord from
the electrical receptacle. Proceed to fill the water trough until water is almost about
to spill out of the drainage opening in the rear of the Utility Sharpener.
8. The Water Trough will need to be refilled occasionally during extended sharpening
operations.
9. Return the front tool rest back into position.
10. Adjust both the front and rear tool rests until they are approximately 1/8” from
the grinding wheel. Firmly tighten all four of the lock knobs.
11. Carefully inspect the item to be sharpened. Look for any cracks or bends. If
the item is damaged, then discard it. DO NOT attempt to sharpen a damaged tool.
12. If the item to be sharpened is in good condition, then proceed to lay the item flat
