sion cord is in good condition. Con-
ductor size should be in accordance
with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor
or tool nameplate. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and over-
heating. Your extension cord must
also contain a ground wire and plug
pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become dam-
aged.

OPERATIONS
To fill the water reservoir:
Filling Reservoir
1. DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
2. Loosen the tool rest adjustment lock
handles and move the tool rest away
from the sharpening stone.
3. Fill the water reservoir. See Figure 2
Fill Here
Reduce the risk of electrocution by
keeping all connections dry and off
the ground. DO NOT touch plugs
with wet hands. Failure to follow
these warning could result in seri-
ous injury.
Figure 2. Tool rest moved away from
sharpening wheel.
4. With dry hands and a dry plug, con-
nect the wet sharpener into the power
source.
5. Run the wet sharpener for one minute
to properly wet the stone.
6. With dry hands and a dry plug, discon-
nect the saw from the power source.
Be sure the cord is positioned with
a “drip loop” below the level of
the outlet as shown above. This
prevents water from running down
the cord and into the outlet. Instead
the water will drip to the floor at the
“drip loop” on the cord.
7. Refill the water reservoir until full and
return the tool rest to the desired loca-
tion.
NOTE—It is important to keep the wheel
well lubricated while sharpening. Unplug
and refill machine as needed to maintain
an appropriate water level.

Tool Rest
Sharpening
The Model H6069 Wet Sharpener, if prop-
erly used, will help you maintain the qual-
ity and life of your tools by keeping them
sharp. Typical items you may sharpen with
the wet sharpener include knives, chisels,
planer blades, lathe tools and any other
items around your shop that need to main-
tain a sharp edge.
Equipped with an adjustable tool rest, the
Model H6069 enables precise control over
the sharpening operation. Figure 3 shows
the height and angle adjustment lock han-
dles for the tool rest.

Figure 4. Correct positioning on tool rest.
4. If you are sharpening a double edged
tool such as a knife, turn the blade
around and sharpen the opposite
side. NOTE—If the tool you are sharp-
ening has a one-sided edge such as a
chisel or planer blade, DO NOT follow
this step.
Operating this sharpener can propel
objects into the air, causing imme-
diate eye damage. To protect your-
self, always wear American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) approved
safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating this equipment.
