Description

This sharpener is designed to sharpen all kinds of knives and blades used in the garden. It is particularly useful for grass cutters, allowing you to determine if a new blade is necessary or not. With this sharpener, you can ensure a perfectly sharpened blade at all times.

Product Usage Instructions

Before Grinding:

Check that the screw (2) on the grinding stone and the locking ring (1) are tightly fitted. If the locking ring does not fit tightly to the plastic ring (4), press down the locking ring manually.
Ensure that your grass cutter is turned off before starting any grinding work. For electric grass cutters, unplug the device. For grass cutters with a combustion engine, pull the cable of the sparking plug and make sure no fuel can leak when the machine is tilted to the side.
Use a clamp to fix the blade or knife. For grass cutters, use a rope to secure the machine (5).
Wear safety goggles during grinding work.

Grinding:

Fix the grinding stone to a drilling machine or cordless drill. Start by removing dents and burrs on the blade using the flat side (3) of the grinding stone. Sharpen the blade with the conical side of the grinding stone (6). Move the grinding stone along the edge of the blade from the inner to outer area. Do not apply excessive pressure on the grinding stone. Lift up the grinding stone when reaching the tip of the blade. Follow the original shape of the knife’s edge. Adjust the position of the grinding stone accordingly (7). For grass cutters, ensure that an equal amount of material is ground off on both blades to maintain balance during rotation.
