FAQ's

I am regularly cutting the abrasive belts

Answer

Either
  • you are not lowering the knife vertically as explained in the instructions.  Make sure your arm is not moving away and down.  Or:
  • you have not placed the machine correctly relative to your body position. The sharpening grooves should line up with the hand holding the knife – not the centre of your body i.e. right handed operators – the machine will be positioned about 8” to the right of your body centre line. Left handed operators* 8” to the left. * Left handed operators will not be able to use the holding handle. They will need to hold the body of the machine on the right hand side.
