Clarke 6480231 CBS20 Electric Drill Bit Instructions

Begin by placing the sharpener on a stable surface. Ensure it is unplugged before adjusting any components. Attach the drill bit guide and set it to the correct angle for your drill bit size. Plug in the device and you’re ready to start sharpening.
Most general-purpose drill bits are sharpened at a 118-degree angle. However, for specific tasks, you may adjust the angle accordingly using the adjustable guide on the sharpener.
To prevent overheating, apply minimal pressure and ensure a steady rotation of the bit. Allow the bit to cool down between sharpening sessions if necessary.
Regularly clean the sharpening wheel and remove any metal shavings. Check the condition of the grinding wheel and replace it if worn out. Lubricate moving parts occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
First, unplug the sharpener. Remove the cover guarding the wheel by unscrewing the fasteners. Carefully detach the worn wheel and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is securely fastened. Reattach the cover before use.
Check the power supply and ensure it is connected properly. Inspect the plug and cable for any damage. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support for further assistance.
The sharpener is designed for standard twist drill bits. For specialized bits, such as masonry or cobalt bits, consult the manual to see if they are compatible or require a different device.
Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from metal shavings. Keep hands clear of the grinding wheel. Ensure the device is stable and on a flat surface before use. Unplug the sharpener when not in use.
The frequency of sharpening depends on the usage of your drill bits. Regular inspection of the bit’s cutting edges will help determine when sharpening is necessary to maintain performance.
Yes, minor sparking is normal as the grinding wheel removes metal from the drill bit. However, excessive sparking could indicate too much pressure is being applied or the grinding wheel is worn out.
