ASSEMBLY & SETUP (CONT.)
GRINDING BIT INSTALLATION
Insert the desired grinding bit into the grinder
collet and tighten using the two wrenches
provided (J & K) in the direction show below.
Please make sure it’s tight as the grinding bit
may come loose from vibration during use
otherwise.
Blade Material
Use this Grinding Bit
Hardened Steel
Tungsten Carbide Bit (H)
Soft Steel
Abrasive Bit (I) or Tungsten Carbide Bit (H)
PRO TIP
Use the abrasive bit the first time you sharpen a blade. It is easier to
control as it does not grind as fast as the carbide bit. After you learn
how to handle the device you can switch to the carbide bit if
necessary.
ATTENTION
Protective gloves are
recommended when
handling the Carbide
Bit.

HOW TO USE
SET UP COMPRESSOR
1. Set the air pressure from your compressor to 120 PSI. If a nozzle
attachment is available allow the air to spray out of the hose for 5 –10
seconds to remove dirt and water.
PREPARE MOWER
1. Move mower onto a smooth, level surface such as in a garage or
shop.
2. Turn off the engine, remove the keys and raise the deck to its top
position.
3. Disengage the mower blade drive and reach under the deck to turn
the blade until it’s pointing outward. Reengage the drive belt to lock
the blade in position. If the mower has an electric clutch, then attach
a C clamp to the deck next to the blade to prevent it from moving.
4. Make sure that the grinding bit is all the way in the grinder chuck and
that it’s securely held.
CHECK BLADE FACTORY ANGLE
1. Using the blade angle gauges on the end of the grinder wrenches (Fig.
9) check the ground factory angle of the mower blades as shown in
Fig 10.

HOW TO USE (CONT.)
UNFOLD EMBSX
1. Flip back the Clamping Handle (4) at the bottom of the handle tube
and pull the Quick Release Pin (1) from the handle hinge. Unfold the
handle and position it at the desired angle. Retighten the Clamping
Handle (4) and reinsert the Quick Release Pin (1).
12
Actual model may vary from images shown
SET GRINDER ANGLE
1. Using the M4 Allen Key (L) included with the device adjust the grinding
angle by turning the grinding angle adjustment screw. To increase
angle turn clockwise and to decrease angle turn counter clockwise.
2. Using one of the Grinder Wrenches (J or K) line it up with the desired
angle marking on the chassis as show in Figure 11. When the grinder
touches the wrench as indicated by the red circle in Figure 12 the
desired grinding angle has been set.
3. Change the height of the guide block if necessary, using the M4 Allen
Key (L) on the 2 set screws indicated by the green arrows in Figure
13. Set the Guide Block Height (15) so the blade lines up with the
center of the grinder bit.

ADD AIR TOOL OIL & CONNECT AIR HOSE
1. *IMPORTANT* Tip the handle over as shown in Figure 14 and add
two drops of the Air Tool Oil (G) into the quick connect coupling before
each time the product is used.
2. Connect compressor air hose into the quick connect coupling and run
the grinder for 5 seconds to distribute the oil throughout the unit.
HOW TO USE (CONT.)
PRO TIP
Use your smartphone to check the grinding bit angle. On iPhones
open the pre-installed app called “Measure”and hit the bottom right
tab called “Level”. On Android smartphones download the app called
“Bubble Level”.
ATTENTION
Damage to the grinder due to failure of adding pneumatic oil
before each use of the device is not covered in the 1 year warranty.

CONNECT CAMERA (OPTIONAL)
1. Turn on the camera controller.
2. Download “Dual View” app from the app store.
3. Open the Wi-Fi settings on your smartphone and select “EMBSX”
from the list. No password required.
4. Open the camera app and place your smartphone in the Phone
holder bracket (B).
5. Adjust the camera to point at the position where the blade meets the
grinder bit.

SHARPEN THE BLADES
1. Begin with the blade that is partly exposed next to the discharge chute
(if there is one). This will be the easiest since you can see it. Use a
bungy cord to tie back the discharge cover to help. Reach under the
deck and turn the blade until it is facing the side of the machine.
2. Slide the sharpener under the mower deck just to the left of the blade.
3. If necessary, adjust the height of the deck and blades until the blade
sits gently on top of the Blade Guiding Block (15).
4. Line the sharpener up with the blade using the LED lights and mirror
and/or camera on the sharpener until the sharp edge of the blade sits
in gap between the grinder bit and the guide block as shown in Figure
15.
HOW TO USE (CONT.)
16
Actual model may vary from images shown
5. If the mower deck height cannot be lowered enough you can
compensate for the height difference by pushing down lightly on the
handle to raise the front wheels.
6. Once the device is lined up with the blade roll it back and forth a few
times applying light pressure towards the right. You should be able
to hear and feel the grinder bit turning. Pull the trigger as you continue
to slide it back and forth.
7. If you notice that the device is grinding more on the top or bottom
edge of the blade, the grinding angle does not match the blade angle.
Re-adjust the grinder angle slightly until the amount of grinding is
even top to bottom. Continue grinding until the desired sharpness is
achieved.
8. After sharpening one end of the blade rotate the blade so that the
other end is facing outward and repeat the previous steps to finish
that blade.
9. If applicable move to the other blades such as the left or center.
Reach under the deck and turn the blade until it faces outward, then
slide the sharpener under the deck just to the left of the blade by
using the mirror or the inspection camera.
10. Slide the sharpener to the right until the blade is in the gap between
the Blade Guiding Block (15) and the grinding bit and proceed with
sharpening the blades.
HOW TO USE (CONT.)
ATTENTION
We recommend that you spend the same amount of time grinding
on each end of the blade in order to maintain blade balance. In
addition to that we recommend removing the blades after every 10
sharpening’s to check the balance or if excessive vibration is
noticed.
DISCLAIMER
Noracore Inc. is not responsible for any damage done to the
equipment due blade unbalancing.
