Sharpening the blades
For conventional planer blades only
Always keep your blades sharp for the best perfor-
mance possible. Use the sharpening holder to remove
nicks and produce a fine edge.

First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insert
the blades (A) and (B), so that they contact the sides
(C) and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts.

Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2 or 3 minutes
before sharpening. Hold the holder so that the both
blades contact the dressing stone for simultaneous
sharpening at the same angle.
