Tool Grinding
• The tool to be sharpened must be held in the appropriate
fixture and be guided firmly so it cannot move or fly off
during the sharpening process.
• Never perform any operation freehand, where possible
always use the appropriate jig. If no jig is available to
suit the particular application, either use the tool rest jig
(WG250/I) or use the support arm as a tool guide.
• In most cases you will achieve the best result if you grind
towards the edge of the tool (as pictured).
• The wet sharpener may have to be turned around to get
to a convenient operating position.
• Move the tool left/right as you grind for even wear of
the stone.
• Narrow or convex cutting edges require little
pressure only.
Tool Honing
• Apply honing compound (R) to the leather honing
wheel (A).
• For a quick burr removal, alternately hone both sides of
the cutting edge.
• Always hone away from the edge of the tool.
• The wet sharpener may have to be turned around to get
to a convenient operating position.
Attention: Never attempt to hone towards the edge
of the tool as the tool will be thrown away and the
honing wheel damaged.

stone at the top of its travel and with the sharpening stone
rotating up towards the stone grader.
3. Apply pressure to the stone grader for approximately
30 seconds whilst moving from side to side across the
sharpening stone.
The life of the stone grader depends entirely on the
condition of the stone. Never apply the stone grader to
a sharpening stone that has an uneven or worn surface.
In this case always true the stone first with the diamond
trueing tool (WG250/K). When the surfaces of the stone
grader become uneven it is at the end of its life and should
be replaced.
