3. Attach the pivot rotation knob to the thread-
ed hole at the outside end of the right lock
bar, so the gears mesh with the teeth on
the edge of the pivot plate.
4. Mount the pivot plate assembly to the back
of the work plate using the three (3)

/2" hex bolts provided.
5. Turn the work plate assembly right-side-up
and slide the lock bars over the sides of the
grinder table as shown in Figure 2. It may
be necessary to loosen the lock knobs part
way to allow alignment of the bars to the
table.
6. Place the sliding knife support on the work
plate so the knife support’s lip catches the
edge of the work plate.
Run the sliding support over the work plate to
check for smooth movement. Occasionally, a
work plate is shipped from the factory with small
imperfections in the casting that can cause inter-
ruptions in movement. Removing these minor
imperfections will ensure smooth movement and
superior sharpening results.
Test pivot movement by loosening the lock
knobs and turning the pivot rotation knob. Make
sure the teeth are meshed properly with those on
the pivot plate.
Stationary Clamps
The Model G2790 features two stationary
clamps that can be attached directly to the pivot
plate. See Figure 3. The clamps are held in
place by compression brackets. To attach the
stationary brackets:
1. Remove the sliding support from the work
plate.
2. Remove the work plate from the pivot
plate.
