Note: DO NOT continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged abrasive belts. Ensure foreign objects,
such as nails and screws, are removed from the workpiece before starting to sharpen or grind.
Set Multi-function tool to the sharpen position by sliding the Sharpening Cassette Release Button
(6) and then turning the Sharpening Cassette (3) to position A (Image B) (Fig. III)
1. Push Tensioner (4) down then turn ¼ turn clockwise to lock in place (Fig. IV)

3. Align the new Belt (5) so that it sits centrally on all 3 Pulleys (4) (7) (9) (Fig. IV)
WARNING: Observe the rotation direction as indicated on the belt and the tool.
4. Turn the Tensioner (4) ¼ turn anti-clockwise to release and tighten the Belt (5) (Fig. IV)
Note: use the Belt Tracking Adjustment Knob (8) on the Sharpening Cassette (3) to adjust belt
tracking. Turn the Knob (8) clockwise to align to the left and anti-clockwise to align to the right
(Fig. X)
5. Rotate the Belt (5) by hand a few times, to ensure the new Belt (5) sits centrally on the Pulleys (4)
(7) (9) (Fig. IX). If the Belt (5) slides off the Pulleys (4) (7) (9) whilst rotating, start over with step 1
6. Switch the tool ON (see 'Operation-Switching 'ON' and 'OFF'), to determine if the Belt (5) runs
smoothly. Switch the tool 'OFF' and start again with step 1, should the belt (5) slide off the
Pulleys (4) (7) (9)
WARNING: Take care to regularly clean out the build-up of dust around the Pulleys (4) (7)
(9) and not to let the Belt (5) wear down completely before replacing it. Failure to observe these
precautionary measures can lead to damage to the Pulleys (4) (7) (9) and bearing. Such damage is
not covered by warranty.
Fitting a sharpening guide

4. Slide the Sharpening Guide (27) (28) down onto the Sharpening Cassette (3) until the Channel is
located onto the Locator Nuts and the lug is in its groove (Fig. V) (Fig VI) (Fig. VII)
Dust extraction
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched 'OFF' before attaching or removing any
accessories.
WARNING: Always use the Multi-funtional Sharpener with a suitable dust extraction system,
especially if the dust created contains harmful substances, such as particles from old paint, varnish,
surface coatings etc. Always dispose of harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
WARNING: Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic dusts when grinding
lead-based painted surfaces and metals, particularly if you are unsure about the exact substances
involved. All persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially designed for protection
against the toxic dust and fumes involved. Children and pregnant women MUST NOT enter the work
area. DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
WARNING: Using the tool without dust extraction may expose the operator to harmful dust,
and may lead to a build-up of dust on internal components, shortening the tool's service life. Such
damage is not covered by warranty
