GARDEN SHARP

 

GARDEN LAWN AND GARDEN TOOL SHARPENER
PLEASE NOTE:
Place the more visible carbide
that has the beveled edge.
VERY LIGHT DOWNWARD PRESSURE WILL GIVE YOU THE SHARPEST EDGE.
Warning! Never sharpen any type of blade or tool that is attached to any type of power
equipment. Remove blade or tool and secure in a vise. Hold the GardenSharp® as shown in
one hand with your fingers through the opening formed by the handle and the finger guard.
Remember: The Sharpener moves while the tool being sharpened remains stationary.
Straddle the cutting edge of the tool being sharpened with the "v" shaped notch formed in the
sharpener. Place the more visible carbide insert against the side of the tool that has a beveled
edge. This should be the side that you want to sharpen. With the head of the GardenSharp®
at about a 90 degree angle to the tool's edge, press down lightly using thumb pressure to
draw the GardenStiarp® along the edge of the tool. Work in one direction only, not back and
forth! You will feel the tungsten carbide sharpener removing metal from the tool. Several
passes may be required before the tool's beveled edge conforms to the proper angle of
GardenSharp®. Once that angle is achieved then two or three passes should be sufficient to
bring the tool back to a sharp edge. REMEMBER: LIGHT PRESSURE IS SUFFICIENT. Heavy
pressure might cause you to lose control of the sharpener and possibly cause injury. When
sharpening lawnmower blades, always make sure your blade is properely balanced before
installing. An unbalanced blade can lead to injury..
Occasionally, you may encounter a tool that is more awkward to sharpen from one side than
the other. In such instances, you may wish to reverse the arrangement of the carbide
sharpeners that are in your GardenSharp®. Refer to the diagram at right before attempting
this.
To reverse the sharpeners, lay the GardenSharp® on its side with the screws up. Remove the
screws and carefully separate the two halves of the handle as shown.
Simply switch the carbides in their slots. The larger
carbide can tie moved straight across to the other
slot. The smaller carbide will have to be flipped
over before switching slots. If the finger guard
becomes disengaged during this operation, secure
both ends of it in the slots provided before reassembly. CAUTION: DO NOT REASSEMBLE
THE
SHARPENER WITHOUT THE FINGER GUARD. SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.
Reassemble the two halves of the handle and secure with the three screws.
Warning! Improper use of this sharpener and/or failure to follow instructions can result in
injuries. Correct use is the easy and safe way, so always use exactly as instructed. Keep
your fingers inside the fingerguard as shown above and your thumb securely on the thumb-rest
indentation, as shown above.
Do not over tighten screws. The factory torque setting is about 5 inch pounds of
pressure.Tighten them only until you feel increased resistance. If sharpener has any crack
around the screw heads - DO NOT USE IT. Either discard the sharpener or return it under the
terms of the warranty. GardenSharp® is perfectly safe when used properly. LIFETIME
