*BEFORE FIRST USE: Saturating The Stones
Before using your sharpener for the rst time, it is important to saturate the
sharpening stones with oil. Let drops of the oil sink into the stones until the oil no
longer absorbs, and begins to pool on the surface. Saturate the upper stone by
tilting the sharpener back and holding the lid in one hand.
Sharpening Your Rotary Blade
1. Make sure the sharpener is
plugged in. Put a drop of oil on both
sharpening stones.
5. Open the sharpener and ip the
blade over.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until your blade
is sharp. For every blade used in the
sharpener the rst time, the process will
take more repetition. After a blade has
already been sharpened, the process will
be much faster.
To test if your blade is sharp enough, try
using it in your cutter to cut some scrap
fabric.
If you wish, you may lock the lid closed
with the latch while sharpening.
4. Hold down the lid and push the
button for 30 seconds.
2. Place the blade in the blade tray
using the blade handler. Make sure
the blade is centered.
3. Close the lid slowly, being careful
not to knock the blade out of the
center.
PowerRotary Blade Sharpener
Do not sharpen newly out-of-the package blades! The TrueSharp is used to
hone a dull blade to a near factory-sharp edge. You will not be able to achieve a
factory-polished edge.
Damage or nicks on blades caused by pins, etc. sometimes cannot be repaired.
Always use the Blade Lever to remove blades from the sharpener. Avoid using
your ngers to handle blades, always use the included blade handlers instead.

Using The Coarse Stones
(Really Dull Blades, Nicks, Or Skipped Threads)
Trouble Shooting
Rotating/Replacing The Stones
Sharpening may become less effective as metal lings build up on the stones. Regularly cleaning and
rotating your sharpening stones will yield the best results. Each stone has four usable sides.
Cleaning
Clean the stones after each sharpening using a moist cloth. The stones can also be removed and
cleaned under running water using a mild detergent.
Some blades may be “skipping threads”as you cut. Some blades that are very dull may be unable to consistently cut even a
single layer of fabric. For blades such as these, you can use the coarse stones to make the sharpening process faster.
If following the above instructions does not produce sharper blades, the following things could be checked to
assure the sharpener is working at the highest level.
Mark the edges of a blade with a
marker. If sharpening wears away the
marks from the beveled edge, the
sharpener is working.
If a gouge begins to form on the
stone, it will no longer sharpen. Turn
the stone to a fresh side, or replace it.
• Replace sharpening stones with the coarse-grit stones provided in the kit.
• Perform the sharpening process until the blade is sharp or begins to cut easier.
• Replace the coarse-grit stones with the ne-grit stones.
• Repeat the sharpening process with the ne-grit stones two more times to nish and sharpen the edge further.
Make sure the stones are placed all
the way down in their holders. If part
of the stone is raised, or not all the
way in, it will dull your blade.
