grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.
Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

GrindingTips:
1. After you have set the angle, turn on the Wet Grinder and begin the grinding
process.
2. Press the tool evenly onto the Grinding Stone (19) near the cutting edge, and
move the tool crosswise across the Stone. Make sure that at least half the width
of the cutting edge comes into contact with the Grinding Stone at any time to
avoid damage to the Stone.
3. Allow the Grinding Stone (19) to do the cutting. Do not apply excessive down-
ward pressure on the tool when grinding.
4. Make sure the level of water in the Water Tank (41) is adequate. Do not attempt
to dry grind.
5. When finished, turn off the Wet Grinder. Wait until the machine has completely
stopped. Unplug the machine from its electrical outlet. Then, remove the tool.
Honing Tips:
1. Never hone against the direction of the rotating Honing Wheel (27). Otherwise,
the tool will cut into the leather Honing Wheel.
2. Although you can work “free hand” for the honing process, you will achieve more
precise results by securing the tool with the Support Plate (16) or Holder (6) and
setting the honing angle to the angle used when grinding the tool.
3. Press the tool evenly onto the Honing Wheel (27) near the cutting edge, and
move the tool crosswise across the Wheel. Make sure that at least half the width
of the cutting edge comes into contact with the Wheel at any time to avoid
damage to the Wheel.
4. Allow the Honing Wheel (27) to do the honing. Do not apply excessive down-
ward pressure on the tool when honing.
5. Always keep the Honing Wheel (27) saturated with machine oil and Abrasion
Paste (43) for optimum results.
6. When finished, turn off the Wet Grinder. Wait until the machine has completely
stopped. Unplug the machine from its electrical outlet. Then, remove the tool.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. WARNING! Make sure the Wet Grinder is disconnected from its electrical
outlet prior to performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
2. Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Wet Grinder. Check for
cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, damaged Grinding Stone or
Honing Wheel, and any other condition that may affect safe operation. If abnormal
noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
3. To dress the Grinding Stone: New Grinding Stones frequently are not true and
during operation often become grooved, glazed (build-up), out of round, or
misshapen. To correct this situation, you will need a grinding stone dresser
(available from Harbor Freight Tools).
A. Make sure to stand at the side of the Grinding Stone (19) for this operation.
B. If the Grinding Stone (19) is new, allow it to spin for a minute with no load. If
the Grinding Stone spins straight and true, you will not need to dress it prior
to operation. If it does not spin straight and true, proceed with the following
instructions:
C. If you are using a “pistol grip” dresser, grip the handle firmly with one hand
and the arm of the dresser with the other hand. Allow the Grinding Stone
to reach full speed. Use the Tool Support (23) to support your hand and the
dresser, and evenly apply the dresser to all surfaces of the Grinding Stone.
The Grinding Stone can be dressed in a few minutes.
D. If you are using an “inline dresser”, hold the handle firmly. Place the
dresser on the Tool Support (23) so that its wheels can move freely (i.e., the
exposed part of the wheel should be facing up). Let the Grinding Stone
reach full speed, and apply the dresser to all surfaces of the Grinding Stone.
4. To install a new Grinding Stone: Unscrew and remove the Nut (17) and
Washer (18) that secures the Grinding Stone in place. Then, remove the old
Grinding Stone. Install a new Grinding Stone of the same type and size. Then
secure the Grinding Stone in place with the Nut and Washer.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
5. To install a new Honing Wheel: Unscrew and remove the Nut (26) and
Washer (25) that secures the Honing Wheel in place. Then, remove the old
Honing Wheel. Install a new Honing Wheel of the same type and size. Then
secure the Honing Wheel in place with the Nut and Washer.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
