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 sharp-
ener 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 re-
versed 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 set screw #12 slightly
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.
D.) This indexing procedure can be performed 3 times before the abrasive
must be replaced.
E.) To replace the abrasive: Remove the battery from the drive motor.
Loosen the locking set screw, turn the drive motor counter clockwise to re-
move 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
abrasive
F.) When threading the drive motor back into the universal grinding head,
make sure you DO NOT cross thread it. The motor threads are plastic.
