Cutter Knife Sharpening
The knives can be honed individually with an ordinary oil-
stone.
Make sure your oilstone is not worn in the center. It must
be flat.
Be sure to remove the burr on the flat side.
WARNING: The cutter knives are extremely sharp.
Do not let your hand or fingers touch the cutter knives.
If the knives are nicked they must be replaced or
reground. They can be reground several times until they
become 9/16" wide. Never install unbalanced knives
or reground knives less than 9/16" wide.
Have your knives reground by someone who is compe-
tent. Look under “Sharpening Services” in the “Yellow
Pages” of your telephone directory.
NOTE: The knives may have a second, very small
ground surface very close to the sharpened edge of the
blade. Hone only the edge of the blade which will be
doing the cutting.
