MAINTENANCE
THE BLADE
HONING THE BLADE
SHARPENING THE BLADE
The blade must be
toward the table side in power assembly pocket.
USE ONLY I-SERIES (PREMIUM) BLADES IN I-SERIES MAGNUM SHEARS™.
Any other blade will not perform properly and may damage
your machine.
There are three situations when it is very
important to hone the blade (remove burrs)
on the flat side of the blade:
After the first 30-100 cuts on a new blade
Every 100+ cuts on the job
When the blade has been
re-sharpened
Notice: It is not necessary to remove the small nicks
or chips from the blade edge when sharpening or honing.
With the blade in the machine, it is quick and easy to hone;
Simply pull the Magnum Shear™ handle down until the
blade is just above the blade stop (approximately 1/8").
Then, lay the wide flat side of the hone stone against the
flat side of the blade and move hone stone from end to end
2 to 3 times to remove any burrs.
The blade can be sharpened to restore a one-sided, 21°-22°
knife edge. It is important to note that the blade must be
sharpened only on the beveled side, leaving the flat side flat.
We recommend that power grinding only be done professionally,
as the blade must be fluid cooled during this process.
