2. When the stone has reached full speed and is evenly coated with water, place
the tool tip down on the stone.
3. Move the tool from side to side on the tool support until the tip is evenly
ground. At least half of the stone width should be covered by the tool blade to
avoid damaging the stone.
4. After grinding, turn off the machine and allow the wheel to come to a
complete standstill.

Grinding Knives

To grind a knife, it must be placed against the water-saturated rotating stone at an
even angle. This can either be done by hand by an experienced operator.
Alternatively use the included tool holder (7) as shown below.
1. Clamp the knife into the holder and place the
holder on the tool support while the machine is
turned off to use the tool holder
2. Adjust the height of the tool support until the
knife blade is placed against the stone in the
desired angle.
3. Lift the knife off the stone and start the
machine.
When the stone has reached full speed and is
evenly coated with water, place the knife blade
against the stone and carefully move the knife over the stone until the blade is
evenly ground. If the knife is ground from both sides, turn the knife over and
grind the other side of the blade.
4. After grinding, turn off the machine and allow the wheel to come to a
complete standstill.

Honing the Blades

After grinding, the tool or knife should be honed for extra sharpness. Coat the
leather honing wheel with a thin and even coat of honing compound.
Always hone in the rotating direction of the wheel, never against it, because the
sharp blade might bury itself in the leather wheel and might cut the wheel or injure
you.
You can either use the tool support as described above or guide the blade by
hand over the honing wheel.
