MPOWER Diamond Stones are intended
to be used to sharpen steel, tungsten
carbide & high speed steel tools. For both
professional and domestic use.
SAFETY
Please read and understand these
instructions before use.
Users must be competent in using
Woodworking equipment before using
our products.
All cutting edges are very sharp and care
must be taken to prevent injury.
GUIDELINES
MPOWER Diamond Stones allow fast,
clean stock removal,with less effort and
time required and can be used on a
variety of cutting edges.
When using MPOWER Diamond Stones,
certain general guidelines should be
followed to ensure the stones give lasting
performance under normal conditions.
Follow the hints and tips explained here
to help maximise the life of your Diamond
Stone:
All tooling should be cleaned before
sharpening. Resin build-up should be
removed with Resin Cleaner and a
wire brush.

Use with MPOWER Lapping Fluid to
prevent the diamonds becoming
clogged with swarf.
MPOWER Diamond Stones require a
'break-in' period. Initially the diamond
will feel coarse and will smooth
overtime.
Do not apply too much pressure.
The diamond is extremely abrasive so
what would normally take 5-10 minutes
on an oilstone may take approximately
20 seconds on the Diamond Stone.
Dry the Diamond Stone thoroughly
after use. Any wet steel filings left on
the stone will cause surface rust to
form.
