Bevel up blades can be sharpened at different angles 

dependant on the grain and difficulty of the timber.

Micro adjuster

Using an angle gauge, adjust the universal support bar with 

the micro adjuster (M) to set the ‘Primary Bevel’ at 25˚ 

degrees. Make sure the heel of the bevel touches the 

grinding stone, see fig 06-08. Turn the wet stone (I) by 

hand to check the full width of the ‘Primary Bevel’ is in 

contact with the stone. Make adjustments to the universal 

support bar until even contact.

CLEAR ALL TOOLS AWAY FROM 

WORK AREA!

Check that everything is secure, place a container 

under the water trough drain hose (Q). Make sure the 

bevel is not in contact with the wet stone and switch 

on the grinder. Wait until it reaches full speed. Check it 

runs smoothly, no knocking or scraping noises for 

example. Twist the regulator knob to allow water to 

cascade down onto the wet stone. Allow the water to 

cover the stone.

Lower the blade so it is in contact with the revolving 

stone. Observe how the water flows over the width of 

the blade. This is very important to create an even 

bevel. Keep light finger pressure on the tool and slide it 

from left to right.
