Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation
est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit

OPERATION
We recommend inserting the skate into the Skate Clamp
with the toe pointing to the right. For most skate blades, this
orientation allows for the greatest flexibility in Grinding Ring
height adjustment. It is, however, acceptable to insert the
skate with the toe facing in either direction.
LOADING A SKATE
*For loading goalie skates and youth skates,
see the end of this section.
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/loadskate.
1 LOAD THE SKATE
Press and hold down the Clamp Lever to open the Skate Clamp.
With the skate toe pointing right and the laces tucked into the
skate, set the skate into the Skate Clamp slot letting the plastic
blade holder rest on top of the clamps. Center the skate blade
in the Skate Clamps. Release the Clamp Lever.
2 CLOSE THE PROTECTIVE SLOT COVERS
Move each Protective Slot Cover (A) in toward the
skate until they touch the blade holder and the Safety
Lights (B) extinguish.

ADJUSTING THE GRINDING
RING HEIGHT
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/ringheight.
For every pair of skates sharpened, you must assess
the height of the Grinding Ring and adjust if necessary.
We will first introduce a few new concepts, and then move into the
actual adjustment. We want to first define an intersection zone,
where the vertical face of the blade (B) meets the nearly horizontal
face of the blade (C).
This zone can be a curved section of blade (A) like that shown in the
figure below or in some cases, it can be a point where surfaces (B)
and (C) meet.
When the intersection zone is a curved surface (A as shown above)
the Grinding Ring can safely initially contact the blade anywhere in
this region (A).
A
B
C
When the intersection zone is a point, which is more common with
skates that have been sharpened multiples times (A as shown above),
the first contact between the Grinding Ring and the blade should be
just below the point.
A
B
C
1 INITIATE MOVE MODE
Press the mMove Button on the Keypad. This will set the
Grinding Ring into Move Mode and allow you to control
its movement.
2 INSPECT THE CONTACT POINT
Use the lLeft and rRight Buttons to touch the Grinding
Ring to the skate blade. Inspect its contact point and be sure it
is in the desired position. In the graphic below you will see an
example of a contact point that is too high (B) and too low (C).
A Grinding Ring contacting in the right zone is shown below as
A. If the Grinding Ring is not in a desired position, follow step 3.
If the Grinding Ring is in a desired position, skip to step 6.
If the skate blade is worn down the graphic below shows a
contact point that is too low (B) and a Grinding Ring contacting
the blade at the proper point (A).
B
A

3 MOVE THE CARRIAGE INTO POSITION
Using the lLeft and rRight Buttons on the Keypad, back
the Grinding Ring o the toe of the skate blade 1/4 inch.
4 ADJUST THE GRINDING RING HEIGHT
Open the Glass Door. Locate the red hHeight Adjustment
Knob (A). Turn the knob left to raise the height or right to
lower the height until the Grinding Ring is at the desired height.
The knob is labeled 1-8, with 8 being the highest setting for the
Grinding Ring and 1 being the lowest setting.
5 INSPECT THE CONTACT POINT
Close the Glass Door. Once the Glass Door has been closed,
using the lLeft and rRight Buttons, touch the Grinding Ring
to the skate blade. Inspect its contact point and be sure it is
in its desired position. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the Grinding
Ring makes contact at the desired position.
6 END MOVE MODE
Press the mMove Button again to send the Grinding Ring back
to its home position.

SELECTING THE NUMBER
OF CYCLES
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/cycle.
When the sharpener moves the Grinding Ring out and back over the
skate blade once, it is called a cycle.
The Sparx™ Sharpener comes set automatically to a standard 4
four cycles with all standard Radius Ring™ and FIRE Ring™ Grinding
Rings. We recommend trying four cycles to start and moving higher
or lower as needed. Typically, we have found that four cycles will
handle normal wear and tear (and even small nicks) from one to four
hours of skating between sharpenings. For brand-new steel or when
changing Grinding Ring hollow depths, we recommend using the 1
10-cycle setting to ensure you completely reset the skating surface
of the blade. See Sharpening New Steel at the end of the Operation
section.
1 ADJUST THE CYCLE COUNT
Use the lLeft and rRight Buttons (A) on the Keypad to
adjust the number of cycles desired. The number of cycles
selected will be illuminated on the Cycle Counter (B).

UNLOADING A SKATE
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/unloadskate.
1 DISENGAGE PROTECTIVE SLOT COVERS
Move both Protective Slot Covers (A) away from the skate. The
safety light on each cover (B) will illuminate.
2 REMOVE THE SKATE
Press and hold down the Clamp Lever to open the Skate
Clamp. Remove the skate from the Skate Clamp and release the
Clamp Lever.

SHARPENING SKATES
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/sharpening.
Once you have loaded the skate, closed the Protective Slot Covers,
and adjusted the height of the Grinding Ring, you are ready to begin
sharpening.
To cancel the cycles at any point during the sharpening, press the
nCancel Button once. This will send the Carriage back to its home
position at the end of its current pass.
1 BEGIN SHARPENING
Press the pPlay Button. Once the button has been pressed, it
will change from white to blue and the sharpening process will
begin.
Upon pressing the pPlay Button, the Air Filter fan and grinding
motor will turn on. The Cycle Counter will flash with the current
cycle number until that cycle (out and in) is completed. The
sharpener will continue to run until all cycles have been performed.
At the completion of the final cycle, the end of sharpening is marked
by a “cycle complete” tone and the case LEDs will turn green. The
fan will continue to run for an additional 30 seconds after the final
cycle completes.
ADDITIONAL CYCLES
If additional cycles are desired, you can reset the cycle count and
press the pPlay Button again.
If the Grinding Ring skips when it first makes contact
with the blade, the Grinding Ring’s height is too high.
When properly set, the Grinding Ring should make a
smooth transition onto the skate blade.

EDGE DEBURRING
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/deburr.
We recommend using protective gloves when
deburring the skate blade.
1 DEBURR THE BLADE WITH THE STONE
Press the Honing Stone (A) against the face of the skate blade
(B). Do not put pressure on the side of the stone closest to the
blade edge. With light pressure, press down on the lower side
of the stone (C) and slowly run the stone back and forth along
the length of the blade for four full passes.
2 REPEAT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE
Turn the skate over. Repeat step 1 on the opposite side of
the blade.
3 DEBURR THE BLADE WITH THE STROP
Press the Leather Strop (A) against the edge of the skate blade
(B) at a 45 degree angle. With light pressure, slowly run the
strop back and forth along the length of the edge for four full
passes

GOALIE SKATES
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/loadgoalie.
Before loading a goalie skate, you must first install the Goalie
Risers onto the Skate Clamp (one Goalie Riser on each side of the
Skate Clamp). Each Goalie Riser has two Anchor Pins (A) as shown
below.

YOUTH SKATES
To watch the How-To video, visit sparxhockey.com/loadyouth.
Before loading a youth skate of size 12 or smaller, Youth Skate
Adapters must be installed onto each Protective Slot Cover. On the
adapter, locate the Upper Anchor Tab (A) on the top of the adapter
and then the Lower Anchor Tab (B) on the bottom.
Below is a cross-sectioned Protective Slot Cover. Locate the
recessed slot (C) and the tab cut out (D) on the Protective Slot
Cover Switch (E).
1 INSTALL YOUTH SKATE ADAPTERS
