GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operating this Sharpener can be dangerous if safety and common sense are
ignored. The operator must be familiar with the operation of the tool. Read
this manual to understand this Sharpener. DO NOT operate this Sharpener if
you do not fully understand the limitations of this tool. DO NOT modify this
Sharpener in any way.
BEFORE USING THE SHARPENER
To avoid serious injuryand damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and
Operating Instructions before operating the Sharpener.
1. Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductiveharm. Some 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 yourexposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masksthat 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. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use electrical tools
in a damp environment or expose them to rain.
4. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
5. 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.
6. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT permit people to be in the
immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.
7. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for which it was not designed.
It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the
tool was intended.

KNOW YOUR SHARPENER
The Sharpener is designed with numerous features to quickly and safely sharpen
various items around the house and workshop. 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 Sharpener additionally has
been fitted with an electrical power switch that permits the grinding wheel to rotate in
the Forward and Reverse directions.
The 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 better
job.
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 tools that are cracked or bent. A damaged tool should be
discarded.
6. The 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 SHARPENER
The Sharpener is designed for sharpening knives, scissors, flat chisels, andmore.
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 unpluggedfrom the electrical receptacle.
3. Place theSharpener on flat, firm, and water-resistantsurface.
4. Loosen the two lock knobs that hold the front tool rest until the tool rest can be
movedaway from the stone. The lock knobs may be repositioned by pulling the
knob out slightly. This permits the knob to be rotatedfor 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. C.
Do not have theSharpener operating while
pouring in the water. Therotating grinding
wheel will cause water to be splashed possibly
onto the electrical switch.
Fig. C
6. Plug in the power cord and turn ON the 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. Afteroneminute,turn OFF the Sharpener and unplug thepower 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 Sharpener.
8. The Water Trough will need to be refilled occasionally during extended sharpening
operations.
9. Return the fronttoolrest back into position.
10. Adjust both the frontand rear tool restsuntil they are approximately 1/8” from the
grinding wheel. Firmly tightenall four of the lock knobs.
11. Carefully inspect the item to be sharpened. Look for any cracks or bends.
WARNING

12.If the item to be sharpened is in good condition, then proceed to lay the item flat
on either of the tool rests as shown in Fig. D. Loosen the lock knobs and adjust
the tool rest until the original bevel angle of the item to be sharpened is matched.
Maintain a 1/8” distance from the grinding wheel after the tool rest has been
adjusted to the proper angle.Firmly tighten the lock knobs.
NOTE: To sharpen scissors, hold as shown in Fig. E. You must sharpen the bevel
side of each scissors blade.DO NOT attempt to sharpen the flat side of the blade.
This will ruin the scissors.
13. Practice a few times while the Sharpener is OFF, slowly pulling the tool across the
grinding wheel while keeping the tool flat on the tool rest. ALWAYS pull the item to
be sharpened across the wheel from the angle to the tip of the blade. DO NOT ever
push the item across the grinding wheel.
14. Plug the power cord into the electrical receptacle and turn ON the Sharpener.
Ordinarily, cuttingedgesare sharpened with the grinding wheel turningtoward the
blade. However, if you findit more comfortable, you may sharpen with the wheel
turning away from the blade.
15. Proceed to lay the item to be sharpened flatonto the tool rest and hold onto it firmly
with bothhands. Slowly and lightly pull the item across the rotating grinding wheel.
Inspect the item after a few passes to check the progress. The cutting edge should
have a shiny appearance the entire length of the cutting surface. If the surface has
dark and shiny spots, the angle of the tool rest is not properly adjusted or the user is
not keeping the item flat on the tool rest. Make adjustments as necessary.
16. Alternate sharpening on both sides of the tool.
17. Upon completing the sharpening operations, a small burr might form on the cutting
edge. Remove the burr by turning the Sharpener OFF and unpluggingit from the
electrical receptacle. Lightly pull the blade across the stationary grinding wheel until
the small burris removed.
18. Empty out the waterthat was pouredinto the water troughearlier by tilting the
Sharpener backward.
19. Wipe the Sharpener off with a clean dry rag and inspect for any damageto the
grinding wheel.

MAINTENANCE
Turn the power switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord from its power source prior to
any maintenance.
CLEANING
With the Sharpener unplugged, rotate the abrasive wheel slowly and inspect for any
damage.
CAUTION: REPLACE the abrasive wheel if there is any damage at all. FAILURE to
replace a damaged wheel can cause serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS to clean the Sharpener. A
clean dry rag or brush is all that is needed to remove dust and debris buildup.
Repairs to the Sharpener should be performed by trained personnel only. Contact your
nearest Sears Service Center for authorized service. Unauthorized repairs or
replacement with non-factory parts could cause serious injury to the operator and
damage to the Sharpener.
