Sharpening
Figure 3. Adjustment lock handles.
The Model H6069 Wet Sharpener, if prop
-
erly used, will help you maintain the qual-
ity and life of your tools by keeping them
sharp. Typical items you may sharpen with
the wet sharpener include knives, chisels,
planer blades, lathe tools and any other
items around your shop that need to main-
tain a sharp edge.
We recommend practicing with a tool of low
personal value to get the feel of sharpening
with this machine.
Using the wet sharpener:
1. Turn the sharpener ON with the wheel
rotating towards you.
2. Set the tool rest at the desired angle.
3. Place the blade on the tool rest.
Using light pressure, press the blade
against the wheel and slowly move
side to side. Figure 4
4. If you are sharpening a double edged
tool such as a knife, turn the blade
around and sharpen the opposite
side. NOTE—If the tool you are sharp-
ening has a one-sided edge such as a
chisel or planer blade, DO NOT follow
this step.
Operating this sharpener can propel
objects into the air, causing imme-
diate eye damage. To protect your-
self, always wear American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) approved
safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating this equipment.

Equipped with an adjustable tool rest, the
Model H6069 enables precise control over

dles for the tool rest.
