ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is
the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on
230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.
This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the
fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to
damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions
shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket
could cause an electrical hazard.

marked Lor coloured Red.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a
Residual Current Device (RCD)
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

SETTING UP THE SHARPENER
This sharpener should only be used on a stable, horizontal surface. It is
intended to be screwed down onto a workbench using the mounting holes in
the base. Use 4 x 1” No 8 counter-sunk screws (not supplied).
The sharpener is fitted with an interlock which prevents the motor from starting
unless one of the sharpening attachments is clipped into its operating position
on the power unit.
To attach each sharpening
attachment, slide it fully down the
slots on the front of the power unit
until it latches into place.
To release any sharpening
attachment, unclip it by pressing the
release catch down. Always wait for
the grinding wheel to stop before
removing the attachment. Store all
the attachments on sides of the
power unit when not in use.
Plug the sharpener into a suitable mains power outlet.
HIGH-SPEED DRILL SHARPENER
Using this attachment, you can sharpen any high speed drill bits from 7/64”
(3mm) to 3/8”(10mm). The sharpener holds the drill bit at the correct
sharpening angle.
Do not use with masonry or hammer drill bits.
SHARPENING PROCEDURE
1. Slide the drill sharpening
attachment onto the front of the
power unit and clip into place.

2. Remove the drill clamp from the
clamp holder and insert a drill bit
such that the bit tip is either flush
with the end face of the holder or
protrudes a small amount. Grip
the bit lightly with the drill clamp
so that the drill can still move.
3. Slide the drill clamp into the
grooves in the holder and slide
the V-guide towards the drill
clamp as far as it will travel.
4. Slide the drill bit towards the V-
guide and rotate it until it seats
snugly within the V profile and
such that the ground edges are
vertically above each other.
5. Without rotating the bit, push the
bit forward within the clamp until
the bit tip touches the metal end
stop.
• The V-guide will slide
backwards as the drill bit is
advanced.
• This will set the drill bit with its
cutting edges vertically above
each other, so that the bit can
be sharpened equally on both its edges.
6. With the bit in this position, tighten
the clamp and remove it,
complete with the drill bit.
7. Transfer the clamp from the
setting position to the sharpening
position.

8. The drill bit should exactly touch
the grinding wheel and will be
held at the correct angle.
9. Turn the unit on and start
sharpening.
• Exert a slight downward
pressure onto the bit and pivot.
• The bit should be constantly
moved during sharpening by
swinging the bit holder back
and forth as indicated by the arrows.
• Examine bit according to the sharpening hints below.
10. Turn the clamp over and sharpen
the other edge in the same way.
11. Try to ensure that both sides of the
drill bit are sharpened, using the
same amount of time and
pressure.
• Check that both sides are the
same shape and that the tip is
exactly in the centre of the drill.
• Check that the trailing edge of
each cutting surface is lower than the leading edge.
• Check that both sides are equal.
12. Repeat the above steps as necessary.
13. Switch the power unit off and ensure the grinding wheel has stopped
before removing the sharpener attachment from the power unit.
SHARPENING HINTS
• If the tip of the bit starts to turn blue, it is overheating. Reduce the
amount of pressure and sharpening time. Allow the bit to cool
between sharpening cycles.
• If one edge is longer than the other, sharpen the short edge of the
drill bit a little more.
• If you are sharpening a broken (rather than blunt) bit and the time
required to restore the shape is too long, rough the bit into shape first
using a bench grinder.

towards the tip end before
removing. Do not press hard.
5. Insert the second side of the
blade into the other top guide slot
and repeat as above.
6. Repeat sharpening each side in
turn until a clean sharp edge is
