Security
Attention!
Before using the device, please read this manual attentively. Incorrect handling of this prod-
uct could possibly result personal injury or physical damage. The manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for any damage caused by mishandling that is beyond normal usage dened in
this manuall.
• When using the stand, hold the sharpener at a distance from the edge of the working sur-
face. The fall of heavy metal construction even from a small height can lead to injuries.
• When using a G-clamp to secure the body of the sharpening system to a table or work-
bench, make sure that the G-clamp is well tightened and the body is securely xed to the
work surface.
• Before starting of the sharpening process, be sure to install the bar stoppers. (Page 12)
• During the sharpening, beware of accidental triggering of the rotary
gear, of the mechanism caused by weak xation or excessive pressure on the abrasive.
Properly adjust xation effort (page 8).
• When installing, adjusting and during the sharpening work, protect your hands from cuts
on the sharp edges of a knife, use gloves.
• Do not leave an open, not covered blade in the access zone of children and animals.
Maintenance tips
• The machine have a security markings, in case of it’s breakage. Warranty does not apply.
• To preserve the appearance and to prevent corrosion, periodically remove dust and dirt-
and wipe the places liable to the corrosion with a cloth slightly dampened with household
oil. Wipe dry with a tissue after.
• For the lubrication of the moving couplings use liquid household oil.
• Check the device before work. Make adjustments if necessary (see. Calibration, page 13).
• Moving the abrasive holder bar during the process of sharpening should
be smooth and even, without any jerky motions or excessive pressure on the abrasive.
• When the sharpening is nished, remove all the dirt from the device and carefully clean all
surfaces.
• For the transporting, disassemble device in the reverse order. To avoid damage, wrap in
paper and put in a package (box).
• For the long term storage we recommend to disassemble device in the reverse sequence
and remove to the package (box).
• Store in a dark, dry place at room temperature. In wet climate, put the device in a box with
several packs of the humidity absorbers, and also lubricate with the household oil places
where corrosion may possibly appear.
• Damage or the excessive wear of the threaded connections especially of the the adjust-
ing spring of the clamps may appear after long use. To prevent this, we recommend to
use the household oil as well as following the sequence of the manipulations with adjust-
ment screws. Timely replace clamping screws, to avoid its damage.
• If any defect of the parts dicult to repair revealed, refer to the supplier of the product.
• Dispose of as household waste.

4. Install the clamp on the frame and tighten the thumbscrews. * You can use TSPROF
clamps of any conguration. Locate the clamps at the needed distance from each other
depending on the length and the blade geometry.
5. Install the knife, loosening the far (2) and near (1), clamping screws.
* The example of a knife with a full at grind.
Stick a piece of the leather or masking tape on the place of contact with the jaws in order
to avoid damage to polished or coated knives. Tighten near clamping screws (1) with a small
effort, nally tighten far clamping screw (2). Jaws should be parallel. To release the knife, loos-
en the screws in the reverse order.

10
If the knife blade has a tappered blade, tighten rst near clamping screws with a little effort
(1), then a far (2) weakening the closest screws while tighten far screw. The jaws thus should
be at an angle to each other. If the length of the far clamping screw is not enough, replace it
with a longer M4x16 (14G) from the spare parts package.
When you are working with the wholemilled clamps, you need to tighten only one screw, use
4mm hex key. Try not to over-tighten!

6. Place the abrasive, loosen the far xing thumbscrew on the moving thrust bar. The dis-
tance between thrust bars should be 10 - 12mm less than the abrasive length. Tighten
the xing thumbscrew on the far thrust bar.
11
Pulling the near thrust bar towards the handle, squeeze the spring and insert the abrasive.
Parking
For convenience, set the abrasive holder to the parking. As it shown on the picture, place
parking boot on the parking disc.
Adjustment of the sharpening angle
1. Install a digital protractor on the site for protractor and reset it. (or refer to the mechanical
protractor).
12
2. Install an abrasive and lean it against the cutting edge. Put digital protractor on abrasive
holder (abrasive holder must be located at the center). By the rotation of the angle adjust-
ment thumbsrew, set the desired angle of sharpening.
3. You can x the angle of the sharpening with the help of a locking screw if necessary, as
shown in the picture below. To do this, use a 2 mm hex wrench (14A) from the spare parts
kit. Before further changing of the angle, do not forget to loosen the locking screw.
13
Far limiter
Near limiter
4. Loosen the near stopper, place the near edge of abrasive on the most far tip of the blade,
leaving about 1.5 - 2 cm.
5. Move near limiter to the hub and tighten the thumbscrew.
Actions for the far limiter are similar.
14
Calibration
Calibration of the Prole device is made during production. Setting or calibration can be dis-
trupted during transportation, or if disassembling of the units requiring calibration took place.
Deviation <= 0.3 ° are not essential. It is not recommended to produce adjustments for the
elimination of non-essential deviations. All adjustments should be performed on a at, solid
surface.
Calibration of horizontal frame
Option 1.
1. Place the digital protractor on the reference plane and reset its value.
2. Place the digital protractor on the frame. If the deviation is less than 1 °, the adjustment is
not needed. Further actions are necessary to make an adjustment.
15
3. Holding the frame by hand, loosen the lock nut with 10 mm spanner. By the turning of the
frame, achieve zero value of the digital protractor. While holding the frame by hand, tighten
the lock nut.
Option 2.
1. Place a ruler vertically touched to the edge of the frame and rest it in a at table surface.
Make measurements on both sides.
2. Holding the frame by hand, loosen the lock nut with 10 mm spanner. By the turning of the
frame, achieve equal values. While holding the frame by hand, tighten the lock nut.

Adjusting the angles symmetry while turning the clamp
Calibration is required to equalize the asymmetry of the angles while turning the clamp
which may appear during transportation, as well as during long term use. Digital protractor is
required for the calibration. The device should be rmly xed on a at surface.
1. Set the calibration plate (14D) from the spare parts packet in the clamp. Jaws should
remain parallel.
2. Place the protractor on the plate along the axis of rotation of the clamp and reset.
3. Turn the frame with clamp and make measurements. If the value is more than 0.3 °, loosen
screws (1) and with arms adjust the angle of value equal to the previously measured 1/2
difference. Holding this value, tighten the screws.

Adjustment of the Rack and Pinion lift movement
1. With the 2 mm hex wrench (14A) from the spare parts package, adjust the pinch screws
1 and 2, as it shown in the picture below, to avoid the up and down free movement of the
rack and pinion lift. Changing of an angle with a turn of the tnumbscrew should have a
slight resist.
Adjusting the parallelism of the protractor’s platform and turning axis
* Performs after adjustment of the angles symmetry while turning.
1. Place the digital protractor on the plate and reset its value. Next, set the protractor on a
platform (as shown in the gure), and if the value exceeds 0,3 ° perform the adjustment.
2. With the 2mm hex key. (14A) from the spare parts package, install inclination of the plat-
form by adjustment screws.
Calibration of the in-built gauge
1. Lower the abrasive holder so that the guide bar of the abrasive holder rest at the hinge unit.
Loosen the screw of the arrow of mechanical protractor with 2mm hex wrench, and turn
the arrow on the 36° angle. In this position of the abrasive holder, this angle caused by the
design specialty.
