Important Safety Information
For your safety and to help in developing a better un-
derstanding of your equipment, we highly recom-
mended that you read the operator’s manual. Reading
these sections not only provides valuable training but
also familiarizes you with helpful information and its
location. The parts sections are for reference only and
don’t require cover to cover reading. After reviewing
the manuals, store them in a dry, easily accessible
location for your future reference.
Safety Notations
This manual has been prepared to instruct you in the
safe and efficient operation of your Reel and Bedknife
Sharpener. Read and follow all instructions and safety
precautions carefully.
Safety Rules
Most accidents are the result of negligence and care-
lessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to
follow simple but necessary safety precautions. The
following safety precautions are suggested to help pre-
vent such accidents. The safe operation of any ma-
chinery is a major concern of consumers and manufac-
turers alike. Your Reel and Bedknife Sharpener has
been designed with many built-in safety features.
However, no one should operate this product before
carefully reading the Operator’s Manual.
1. Do not allow anyone to operate this machine who
has not been properly trained in its safe operation.
2. THIS SHARPENER CAN BE DANGEROUS AND
CAUSE BODILY HARM IF NOT PROPERLY
USED OR GUARDED. DO NOT ALLOW ANY-
ONE TO ASSIST IN GRINDING; OBSERVERS
SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED, OR REMAIN AT A
SAFE DISTANCE!
3. Be alert to others in the area while grinding.
4. Do not let children operate the grinder.
5. Never allow horse play around the grinder.
6. Always wear safety glasses when grinding.
7. To prevent personal injury caused by thrown ob-
jects, the use of front and rear canopy shields is
an absolute necessity when spin grinding the
reels.
8. Never spin grind reels while the canopy is in the
raised position. As it is necessary to have the
front canopy open, or raised, during “Relief”
grinding of reels, the following safety precau-
tions must be observed.
A. A full face shield should be worn when op-
erating the grinder while “Relief” grinding
reels with the canopy in open/raised posi-
tion.
B. Some type of protective gloves must be
worn to prevent serious injury. (Kevlar or
Chain Mail type).
9. Never operate the grinder if the safety switch in
the canopy is not functional.
10. Do not open the electrical control box unless the
power is off at the main switch box.
11. Grind slowly over “high” areas and adjust ac-
cording to instructions.
12. ESCAPING COOLANT FLUID UNDER PRES-
SURE CAN HAVE SUFFICIENT FORCR TO
PENETRATE THE SKIN. CHECK ALL HOSES
BEFORE APPLYING PRESSURE. FLUID ES-
CAPING FROM A VERY SMALL HOLE CAN
BE ALMOST INVISIBLE. USE PAPER OR
CARDBOARD, NOT BODY PARTS, TO
CHECK FOR SUSPECTED LEAKS. IF IN-
JURED, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FROM
A DOCTOR THAT IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS
TYPE OF INJURY. FOREIGN FLUIDS IN THE
TISSUE MUST BE SURGICALLY REMOVED
WITHIN A FEW HOURS OR GANGRENE WILL
RESULT.
13. Using the proper coolant aids the grinding proc-
ess, prevents heat build-up and helps control
dust.
14. Do not single blade or relief grind reels unless
the finger guide is the correct distance from the
grinding wheel and fully secured.
Prior To Operation
1. Familiarize yourself with all controls and safety
precautions.
2. Before grinding, clear the work area of objects
and debris that could become entangled in the
reel or thrown from the sharpener.
3. Always insure that ht ereel is fully secured in the
mounting brackets before spin grinding. When
using “Out of Frame” brackets be sure the bear-
ings are seated properly in the bearing housing
collets. Using the “All Thread” adjusting rods of
the Out of Frame Bracket Assembly, press the
bearings squarely onto the reel unit shafts.
