OPERATION

SCISSORS
AND
SHEARS
l.
Scissors and shears
are
sharpened
on
the right hand
wheel
as
shown in Photograph No. 1. For
most
scissors
only tl1e right clamp is required. For long shears both
clamps may be used.
2. Clamp the blade securely with the scissors usually
over-
hanging the clamp base about
‘/s”
to ‘V1./’. With the
grinder oil, check the blade against the wheel for proper
beveL
3.
If
the bevel does
not
match, loosen the allen
screw
in
the pivot guide and adjust for proper bevel. Check the
setting by turning
on
the
motor
and lightly touching the
blade
to
the wheel. Matching the scribe lines
on
the
Pivot Guide and Pivot Base Clamp
will
give proper
bevel for most scissors, however it is best
to
match
the bevel furnished by the scissors manufacturer. Do
not
tighten the Pivot Guide
screw
too
tight
or
the
support assembly will
not
slide freely
on
the rod.
4. Holding the clamp assembly lightly with both hands,
and starting at the base of the blade, grind the blade
from the base
to
the tip. Grinding pressure should be
light and the feed must be
a
smooth steady motion from
left to right with
no
stopping. The feed should be slight-
ly faster and the grinding pressure eased off toward the
tip
to
prevent burning the tips.
5. Check
to
see
that the bevel has cleaned up
over
the
entire length. One
or
two
passes
are
usually enough.
6. Sharpen the other blade in the
same
manner.
7. Hone each blade lightly with
a
fine stone to
remove
the
burrs. Open and close the blades carefully until the
operation is smooth.
For certain shears you may wish to adjust the Clamp Base
to
either the right
or
left
on
the Clamp Pivot. You
can
make this adjustment by loosening the alien
screw
in the
back of the Clamp Pivot.

PINKING SHEARS ;
NOTE: The individual teeth of pinking shears
must
never
be filed
or
ground. Check each pair of shears carefully
because
if
the teeth do
not
mesh accurately
or
have been
deformed, you probably
cannot
salvage them and you
should
turn
them down.
1. Pinking shears
are
sharpened
on
the left hand wheel.
Loosen the
two
bolts which hold the slide bar,
move
the
bar to the left hand position and lock the
two
screws
provided.
2. Place the shears with the handle
to
the left and the teeth
pointing up. See Photo No. 2.
Adjust the Pivot Guide
to
match the bevel. Check the
adjustment by touching the‘ wheel lightly with blade
to
make certain you have the right setting.
Photograph #2
3. Sharpen the blade from the base
to
the tip as you did
with scissors. Maintain
a
light
even
feed with
no
stop-
ping. Sharpen until you have anice
even
bevel the full
length of the blade.
4. Sharpen the other blade and close the shears carefully
afew times until they
are
smooth.
5. Test the shears by cutting clotl1.
If
the grind looks good
but the shears do
not
cut
properly, do
not
try to adjust
the
center
screw.
The shears should be returned
to
the
manufacturer.
GRINDING TIPS
To get started and
to
get the feel for grinding. it is wise
to
purchase several pairs of low quality, low priced scissors
for practice.
Grinding wheels will give asmoother finish after they have
been used for
a
short time. Alight coat of oil
on
the wheel
will give
an
even
liner grind.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the slide bar and supports clean and free of grinding
dust. Do
not
oil the slides
or
pivots.
Your grinder is equipped with oil retaining porous bronze
bearings. Every three
or
four months, unplug the
motor
supply cord and
turn
the grinder forward. Place
one
or
two
drops of clean SAE 20 machine oil in each hole marked
“OIL”.
Do
not
over
oil.
REPLACEMENT OF GRINDING WHEELS
Use only wheels rated for 3500 RPM
or
better. Foley
wheels
are
recommended
as
they
are
made especially for
thejob.
After replacing, the wheel should be trued using adressing
brick
or
a
diamond dresser.
