1. The measured values refer to emission levels, not necessarily to noise levels in the
workplace. Although there is a relation between emission levels and exposure levels, it is
not possible to determine with certainty if preventives are needed or are not needed. The
factors affecting a current level of noise exposure during work are inter alia room
characteristics and characteristics of other noise sources, e.g. number of machines and
machining operations nearby. Also, the permissible exposure level value may vary
depending on country. This information enables the machine’s user to better identify
hazards and a risk .

2.1 Machine Start
IMPORTANT! Before starting to use the machine you have
to meet the following conditions:
Fasten the sharpener to a table top using the mounting holes located in the foot
plates.
The sharpener can be operated with a oil vapors exhaust system only.
The machine can be operated under roof only.
The sharpener can be operated only in temperature range from 5oC to 40oC,
at the humidity of up to 80%.
The oil for cooling the grinding wheel must meet the specifications listed in
Table 1-4 on page 9. Water or other liquids must not be used.
The position of the sharpener’s operator is shown below.

Have a qualified electrician make the power supply. The power supply must meet
the specifications given below.
2.2 Blade Support Installation
The sharpener includes three blade support arms with guide assemblies.
To install the support arms, lubricate the threaded ends of the arms with grease. Insert
one arm into the threaded holes on each side of the sharpener.
1. Each guide assembly consists of a blade support with post, a blade support without post,
two bolts, a self-locking nut, and a wing nut.
See Figure 2-1. To install the guides, join one guide assembly around the end of each
blade support arm. Face the post outward as shown. Bolt from the hexed side of the
guide assembly (these hex-shaped holes will keep the bolts from turning once in place).
Secure the top bolt with a self-locking nut. Secure the bottom bolt with a wing nut.
2. Tilt the guides on the left blade support arm slightly backward, toward the rear of the
sharpener. Tilt the guides on the right support arm slightly forward, toward the front of the
sharpener.

2.3 Blade Height Adjustment
The LTAGA-PLCBN sharpener is equipped with a blade height adjustment assembly that
allows smooth height adjustment of 1”, 11/4”, 1 1/2”, 1 3/4" and 2" wide blades.
To install the blade, release the blade clamp by pushing the clamp handle down.
See Figure 2-2. Position the blade on the cylindrical rollers of the blade height
adjustment screws as shown below. Use the blade height adjustment knob to adjust the
blade height.
NOTE: After adjusting the blade height, adjust the blade support arms in the vertical
plane as necessary so the blade will remain level around its complete length.

2.4 Sharpener Alignment
Use the provided LTAGA-PLCBN sharpener alignment tool as necessary to achieve
accurate alignment between the blade clamp and the grinding wheel.
IMPORTANT! Do not adjust the alignment tool bolts. They
have been pre-calibrated at the factory to ensure accurate
alignment results.
1. IMPORTANT! Make sure the grinder motor is OFF. Cycle the cam until the grinding wheel
is at the tip of the tooth (about to begin face grind).
2. Remove the grinding wheel cover and sharpener arbor nut. Dismount the oiler. Remove
the grinding wheel.
3. Remove the blade rest bolts and moving clamp plate.
4. Install the alignment tool to the grinder motor shaft as shown below.
See Figure 2-3. Position the tool so all three gauge points are in line with the front clamp
plate. Secure the tool in position with the sharpener arbor nut.
5. Loosen the clamp adjustment bolts.
