3. Proper Operating Procedures
Before using the Bevel Buddy Resharpener make sure the proper abrasive for the task is
applied to the resharping tool, refer to section 2 for the set-up.
When performing the resharpening process on the knife, as you are facing the disc and it
turns counter clockwise start the sharpening process from your right and move to the left.
On a clockwise rotating disc, start the sharpening process an your left and move to the
right.
Apply very little pressure on the sharpener to knife edge. The diamond abrasive is very
aggressive, so to avoid over grinding always keep sharpener in motion while sharpening the
knife. One pass per knife is usually sufficient per sharpening. *REMEMBER let the abrasive
do the work!
The counter ground path on the back of the knife should be approximately 1/16” to 1/8”
wide.
We suggest resharpening the knives in the chipper no more than 3 times before removing
them to be sharpened in your stationary grinder or reversed on a turn knife system.

4. Abrasive Indexing Procedure
When the abrasive becomes worn on the drum or cone area, the drive motor can be adjusted
back to a fresh area for proper sharpening.
A.) Loosen the thumb screw on the sharpener head
B.) Hold universal grinding head and turn the drive motor counter clockwise 180º or ½ turn.
C.) Snug set screw slightly to lock the head and motor, this will give you a new abrasive area
to sharpen your knives.
D.) This indexing procedure can be performed 3 times before the abrasive must be replaced.
E.) Make sure your sharpener is in the zero energy state—unplugged from power source.
F.) To replace the abrasive: Remove the battery from the drive motor or disconnect the
drive motor from the power source. Loosen the locking set screw, turn the drive motor
counter clockwise to remove the universal grinding head. Hold the spindle lock button down
and twist the abrasive clockwise to remove it. Reverse the procedure to attach the new abra-
sive
G.) When threading the drive motor back into the universal grinding head, make sure you DO
NOT cross thread it. The motor threads are plastic.
Clean grinder head weekly. (Blow off with compressed air only)
