lDrill bits should be regularly sharpened and not allowed to become blunt especially
on masonry drill bits as the carbide tip wears much quicker when blunt.
;48/482@30066410
lThe grinding wheels should not be allowed to wear down to below 8mm from the grey
spacer (the plastic part between them) because the smaller diameter of the wheel
cannot produce the correct geometry and therefore it needs to be replaced before
continuing the sharpening of the drill bits.
!"& Always use the correct K BE replacement wheels to avoid possible injury.
These are available from your local K BE stockist.
;48/482@3006<>;1,.0
lIf the grinding wheel becomes unevenly worn, their surface can be restored by, for
example, an old masonry drill and simply running it from side to side across the wheel
while its rotating until the surface of the wheel is square again.

To securely fix the sharpener to a
flat surface use the screws provided
fix the locating foot about 125mm
(5 inches) from the front edge of the
bench or suitable board <0042.
Before securing the sharpener onto
the locating foot, fit the sharpener
spindle into the drill chuck ensuring
it is centered in the jaws and that
the chuck does not touch the chuck
guard. Tighten the chuck.
Now place the sharpener along with
the drill attached, over the locating
foot and slide it back to lock it into
position, placing the drill with the
handle forward so that there is no
strain on the foot.

Ensure that the mains wall socket is
within easy reach. During use, lock the
drill ‘on’ using the trigger catch. Run
the drill at maximum speed but no more
than 3000rpm, maximim power 850 watt.

Select the correct size collet for
your drill bit. The collet that comes already in
the turret is the tighter of the two and is for 3mm
to 7mm diameter drill bits. The other collet is for
the 8mm to 13mm drill bits. When changing
between the two collets unscrew the nut,
remove the collect ring and insert the correct
collet. Replace the collet ring with the lugs
downwards and replace the nut.

Set up the carriage for C%%/;466
<3,;:08482D see above.
Place the turret holder into the
‘HSS’ slots on the carriage
pushing the support legs until they
click into position <0042
Flip the drill setter down so it
touches the grinding wheel then
hold it lightly and slide the carriage
to the left until it clicks and locks
into position with the drill setter
<0042
Select the correct size collet for
your drill bit then see C3,82482
=30.9660=Dsection above if a
change of collet is needed.
Tilt the turret holder onto the right,
resting it on the upright part of the
carriage.
Insert the drill bit into the turret
and turn the nut until the bit is a
loose fit and centred in the collet
(for 13mm drill bits insert by
disassembling the turret).
Insert the turret (without the drill
bit in it) into the turret holder,
slotting either rib on the side of the
turret into the C%& %D on the
turret holder and push down fully
<0042
Now insert the drill bit into the
turret <0042 and push down
firmly so it comes into contact with
the drill setter and the grinding
wheel. Then twist the drill bit
anti-clockwise until it lifts slightly
and then it will drop down into
position.
Press the drill bit towards the
grinding wheel and then turn it
clockwise until you feel it stop.
Hold the drill bit in this position
with one hand and tighten the nut
with the other.
Remove the turret from the holder
and check that the drill bit’s cutting
edges are parallel with the turret
nose index marks <0042
!"&If the drill bit position is not
correct, remove and repeat the
aligment procedure. 989=simply
turn it by hand.
nce the alignment is correct slide
the cariage to the right and flip the
setter up.
Replace the turret and drill bit in
the holder so either of the ribs
slots down into the wide slot
marked C%%D with the drill bit fully
over the left-hand grey grinding
wheel. Switch on the drill.
Now press the red cam on the
turret up against the upright part of
the carriage and slowly and evenly
rotate the turret from one end of
the slot to the other about 10
times or until you hear that the
grinding has stopped
<0042
Finally remove the drill bit from the
turret and compare it to the =,-60
on the left and if necessary make
the adjustments following the
table.
!"&Broken drill bits can be ground
to approximate shape <00=,-60 on
the silicon carbide (green) wheel, then
follow the instructions above. Whilst
sharpening to avoid uneven wear in
the grinding wheels slowly move the
carriage across the whole width of the
wheel with your left hand whilst
rotating the turret with your right.
If the grinding wheel is not flat it will
not grind the correct tip geometry,
see C;48/482@3006<>;1,.0Din the
