The Bettcher® AutoEdge Blade Sharpener has been designed to sharpen only Bettcher Whizard®
Trimmer blades.
Machine Function
The Bettcher® AutoEdge Blade Sharpener is a precision grinding unit that is easy to operate and
maintain. It will produce consistently sharp blades when used properly.
With a blade installed in the blade holder, the cycle switch is pushed to start the automatic blade
sharpening cycle. The blade holder and grinder wheel will turn on and start rotating. The grinder wheel
will automatically move toward the blade and start grinding. The blade’s cutting surface is ground for a
short time to sharpen the cutting edge. A steeling device will automatically come in to steel the inside of
the cutting edge. The grinder wheel will continue to lightly grind the blade during the steeling
operation. When the sharpening process is complete, the steeling device and grinder wheel will
automatically retract to their home position and shut off.
The blade can then be removed and the sharpening process repeated for the next blade.
