2.1 Items required but NOT included
Table
Mounting screws
Oil Bucket
Sharpening Oil (Grinding oil CE-150)
5 inch grinding wheel
Tools:
Drill
Drill bits/hole saw up to 2 in (50mm)
#2 Phillips screwdriver
You will need a sturdy table top on level
surface on which to mount the Sharpener &
Setter base unit and the blade supports.
The table must be large enough to hold a
saw blade (a 4x8 ft (1200x 2400mm) sheet
works well). The illustration to the right
shows approximate locations of the equip-
ment’s footprint on the 4x8 ft
(1200x2400mm) table. Fig. 2-1
Dimentions for drilling mounting holes are
shown in Bottom View Fig. 2-2 .
A standard 5-gallon (or 20 l) bucket placed
directly under the table can be used for oil
recirculation. The drain pipe should not
extend so close to the bottom of the bucket
that it inhibits drainage.

2.3 Install the lubrication pump
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to install the pump on the rear of the electrical panel with
the 4 screws provided.
Slide the hose clamps over the lube hose. Leave enough room that the hose can seat
itself all the ways on the pump fittings
Push the lube hose onto the pump fittings on both sides of the pump. Secure the hoses
on the fittings using the hose clamps provided. You may need plyers for this.
Ensure that the hoses are well seated and secure on the fittings. See Fig. 2-4
Route the supply hose into the oil bucket. With a cutting tool, cut the supply hose to
slightly above the bottom of the bucket.
Connect the two power wires extending from the bottom center of the electrical box to the
mating wires on the pump.

2.4 Mount the base unit
The table will need a 2 inch (50 mm) hole to allow for an oil drain pipe to extend through it
into a bucket placed under the machine. An optional 1 inch (25 mm) hole could be also be
drilled for the oil supply hose, if desired. Location of the drain hole is not precise; it may
go where the operator feels most comfortable.
Align the base unit so that the drain fitting sets into the hole in the table you have pro-
vided. When the unit is aligned with the table, bolt the base unit to the table with screws
you provide. See Fig. 2-5
2.5 Install the drain pipe
Place the discharge end of the drain
pipe into the oil bucket first. Simply
screw in the threaded pipe into the
drain fitting at the bottom of the pan.
Place the filter magnet into the bottom
of the oil bucket near the drain output.

2.6 Install the operators handles
For the set handle, rotate the handle from the shipping position to the forward position.
See Fig. 2-7
For the sharpener handle, place the nuts and bolt of the handle in the position shown in
Fig. 2-7 . Two washers and the nuts go on the inside of the sharpener housing. Tighten
both nuts.
2.7 Mount the blade supports
Place the first blade guide on the table in line with the back side of sharpener. Locate it
near the outside edge of the table. Orient the groove so the blade slides through parallel
to the sharpener. See step 1 in Fig. 2-8 . Fasten the blade guide to the table with your
own screws.
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling
bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when done by one per-
son! Keep all other persons away from area when coiling, carrying
or changing a blade. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

Install a blade in the sharpener and rear guide so that the blade forms an oval shape. See
step 2 in Fig. 2-8 . Adjust the height of the rear guide so the bottom of the blade is
approximately level with the blade’s bottom in the sharpener.
Place a second guide to the right side of the base
unit, approximately 18 – 24 inches (450 – 600mm)
away along the curvature of the blade. Orient the
groove so the blade will slide through with minimal
pressure against the sides. Adjust the height of the
blade guide groove so that the blade does not touch
the bottom of the groove. See Fig. 2-9 Side Sup-
ports. Fasten the blade guide to the table with your
own screws. See step 3 in Fig. 2-8 .
Repeat on left side. See step 4 in Fig. 2-8 .
Install the blade guard on the table to the right of the
base unit. The blade guard helps prevent inadvertent
operator contact with the blade teeth during operation. Make sure that it is far enough
away from the blade that it does not touch at any point. See step 5 in Fig. 2-8 . Fasten
the blade guide to the table with your own screws.

Loosen the nut on the grinder motor shaft and remove the washer. Place the wheel on the
shaft under the washer, then tighten the motor shaft nut. Reinstall the housing plate. See
Fig. 2-10 .
2.9 Power cord
Insert the power cord into the power recepticle on the lower left side of the electrical
panel. The cord is keyed so that it will fit in only one orientation. Plug the other end into a
standard grounded outlet. See Fig. 2-11

2-8 doc100919 Set up

2.10 Calibrate the set gauge
The tooth set gauge accurately measures the set of any blade tooth. The gauge needs to
be assembled and calibrated before use.
Refer to Fig. 2-12 . Insert the dial gauge assembly into the hole in the block housing.
Clamp the calibrating pin in position at the center of the dial gauge foot. (See SIDE VIEW.)
Push the gauge assembly forward until the foot just touches the pin and dial needle
moves .005 to .010. Tighten the locking screw with the provided hex wrench (do not
over-tighten). Loosen the dial lock on the gauge and rotate the dial face until the needle
reads 0.00. Tighten the dial lock.
Unclamp the calibrating pin from the set gauge clamp by turning the clamp knob counter-
clockwise. With the pin not clamped, the set gauge needle should read between -.005
and -.010. If not, reclamp the pin, loosen the locking screw and move the set gauge
assembly back so the foot does not contact the pin. Repeat the steps above until the dial
needle reads zero with the calibrating pin clamped and between -.005 and -.010 without
the pin clamped. This ensures the dial foot extends beyond the clamp plate a small
amount and will read zero when the foot is aligned with the clamp plate.
