westfalia 620419 Diamond Hedge Trimmer Sharpener Instruction Manual

Dear Customers

Dull hedge trimmers are a nuisance. Twigs and leaf’s are not cut but rather ripped off. This is damaging to the natural growth of your hedge, the cut never looks tidy and the cut twigs and leaf’s discolor to an ugly brown.
A hedge trimmer is not difficult to sharpen.
On the blades of your hedge trimmer sheared-off plant matter and sap accumulate. In this environment bacteria and fungi, which can harm your health, grow and multiply.
To keep these away from you nose and lungs, we have equipped the diamond hedge trimmer sharpener with a ventilator, which, independently from the rotating direction, blows the dust produced by the grinding of the knives, away from you.

Diamond Sharpener

Safety Notes

Please note the following advice to avoid malfunctions, physical damage and injuries:

While working with the sharpener, please always wear eye protection and keep in mind that the sharpener can become very hot during use.
Hedge trimmers have very sharp edges. Please take care not injure yourself.
Make sure no clothing, jewellery, or hair can get caught by the ventilator. If necessary, wear a cap.

Using

Prolonged use makes the sharp edges of the knives dull and round. Regrinding restores the sharp edges; here the actual angle is less important than having a continuous, even edge.
Regrinding Cutter Bars
Place the hedge trimmer on a solid, even surface. On most hedge trimmers only the moving (top) blade is sharp and the stationary (bottom) blade is only a sharpedged stamping. Clamp the sharpener into the chuck of an electric drill or an electric screwdriver. The sharpener id designed to work at around 3000 rpm.

Place the rotating sharpener from above onto the mobile knife in a right angle.
Trim the edge in a single, flowing motion from the middle outwards. Be careful to keep a uniform angle. The actual angle is less important than the fact that the angle should be uniform and the edge straight.
After all teeth of the mobile knife have been ground, please check whether the edges of the stationary knife are still sufficiently sharp. If the stationary knife is worn out as well, grind it to a right angle as well.

Sharp Hedge Trimmer:
Mobile knife (top) and stationary knife (bottom) are sharp.
Worn Hedge Trimmer:
Mobile knife (top) and stationary knife (bottom) are worn.
Grinding:
Remove the material highlighted here with the sharpener to restore the cutting performance.
