CLEANING
With the Utility Sharpener unplugged, rotate the abrasive wheel slowly and inspect for
any damage.
CAUTION: REPLACE the abrasive wheel if there is any damage at all. FAILURE to
replace a damaged wheel can cause serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS to clean the Utility Sharpener.
A clean dry rag or brush is all that is needed to remove dust and debris buildup.
Repairs to the Utility Sharpener should be performed by trained personnel only.
Contact your nearest Sears Service Center for authorized service. Unauthorized repairs
or replacement with non-factory parts could cause serious injury to the operator and
damage to the Utility Sharpener.
TO PREVENT INJURY TO YOURSELF or damage to the Utility Sharpener, turn the
switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the power cord from the electrical receptacle
before making any adjustments.
