Your TSPROF K03 Pro device has a number of features:

The abrasive holder with Axicube-i electronic angle finder allows you to monitor the sharpening angle in real time and trace any changes, for example when changing the Also it is possible to set the sharpening angle with an accuracy of 0.1°. The display is easy to read in any lighting conditions. The angle sensor is resistant to vibrations..
The abrasive holder guide rod is made of steel and allows the abrasives to be rigidly fixed both with and without ablank. The abrasive holder bar has no angular deflection after assembly, both in free state and under load.
The hinge unit, due to its advanced design, allows you to sharpen knives in the range of angles from 8°* to 39° which allows you to sharpen at a total angle of up to 78°.
The rack and pinion lift is made of aircraft-grade It has a sharpening angle scale on it. The sliding part of the lift is connected to the dovetail base. A locking screw prevents accidental movements of the lift. An additional lifting rod is used to increase the sharpening angle. The device allows a two-step adjustment of the sharpening angle: a coarse adjustment with the rack and pinion lift and a fine adjustment with the extended angle axis.
The rotary unit has a unique mechanism that facilitates rotation and ensures reliable auto-locking of the clamping Thanks to the spring and bearing system, the frame rotates without wear to the mechanism. The auto- rotation system body is made of durable aircraft-grade aluminum, anodized in black.

5. PREPARING FOR WORK

Option 1. Using the device without a stand.

Glue the spacers from the spare parts package to the contact surfaces of the c-clamp.
Glue the 5 bumpers from the spare parts package to the back of the body of the
Clamp the body to the table with the c-clamp.

Option 2. Using the device with a stand.

Glue 5 bumpers from the spare parts package to the back of the
Place the body of the device in the recess of the stand and fix it with the *when using fillet clamps

6. ASSEMBLY

6.1 Install the abrasive holder into the bushing-coupling of the guide rod and fix it.

6.2 Turn the control ring to set the desired locking force.

6.3 Place the abrasive holder rod in the hinge unit, position the springs, stroke limiter and parking boot as shown. The location of the parking boot should allow it to be mounted on the disk
of the hinge unit.

6.4 Mount the clamp to the frame and tighten the locking screws. It is possible to use different types of clamps together. Position the clamps at the required distance from each other
depending on the length and geometry of the blade.

6.6 To avoid damaging the surface of coated or polished knives, apply masking tape to the place where the jaws come into contact with the blade.

7. SETTING THE SHARPENING ANGLE

For correct operation of the electronic angle finder it is necessary to calibrate it. To do this, use the calibration prism included in the package.
Calibration order:

. Place the clamp on the left side of the TSPROF K03 device frame as close as possible to the center of the rotary mechanism frame (fig. 7).
. Start adjusting the angle finder. Place the calibration prism close to the clamp without any gaps, so that it does not protrude beyond the jaws of the clamp. Secure the clamp
tightly with a key (fig. 8).
Place the angle finder body on the prism and adjust its position with the stops so that it does not go beyond the prism (fig. 10).
6.5 Р7.5 Position the knife in the clamps and fix it with one screw, use a 4mm hex key* for this. Do not over-clamp. The jaws must be parallel. To release the blade, loosen the screws in the clamps
6.6 To avoid damaging the surface of coated or polished knives, apply masking tape to the place where the jaws come into contact with the blade.
5. SETTING THE SHARPENING ANGLE

For correct operation of the electronic angle finder it is necessary to calibrate it. To do this, use the calibration prism included in the package.

Calibration order:

1. Place the clamp on the left side of the TSPROF K03 device frame as close as possible to the center of the rotary mechanism frame (fig. 7).

8. CALIBRATION OF THE RACK-AND-PINION MECHANISM

If necessary, you can adjust the smoothness of the lift with a hex screwdriver.

Using a 2 mm hex wrench, adjust the screws 1 and 2 as shown in the illustration.

9. OPERATING PROCEDURE

9.1 Knife clamping

To prevent scratches on the knife, it is recommended to cover the knife with the masking tape before
Position the knife so that the longest straight part of the blade is as parallel to the frame as
Carefully tighten the clamp screws with a The jaws of the clamps must fit the knife tightly, without gaps.
Do not overtighten the screws, to avoid deflection of the jaws in the opposite direction!

9.2 Choosing the sharpening angle

Depending on the purpose of the knife, choose the desired sharpening angle. The table below will help you with this:

You can also sharpen at the knife’s existing angle.

To do this:

use a marker to paint over the secondary bevel;;
place the abrasive in the holder;
run the abrasive over the painted part;
adjust the angle so that one movement of the abrasive erases the marker completely from the painted area.

9.3 Knife sharpening

Each knife, steel and abrasive has its own sharpening characteristics. The general principle of sharpening is described below, which can be changed depending on the characteristics of your particular knife.
◇ sharpening is done by moving away from yourself;
◇ sharpen step by step with abrasives of different grit sizes, from the coarsest (F120) to the finest (F1000 and higher);
◇ sharpening is performed on each side until a burr is formed;
◇ if a burr appears, move the abrasive holder aside and park it;
◇ flip the frame with the knife. Be sure to hold the knife by the handle during all manipulations;
◇ continue sharpening the back side of the knife.
