DocumentDocumentUser instructions for ref: CSP3, CSP4 and CJP5 Blade Sharpening · For best results, the blade (sometimes otherwise referred to as `the cutter', or `the iron') on this product requires sharpening prior to use. · This requires removing the blade by turning the brass thumbscrew anti-clockwise on the iron cap (sometimes otherwise referred to as the `lever cap') (fig 1). · Unscrew the cap iron screw until loose and remove the cap iron from the blade (fig 2). · This product is supplied with a blade ground angle of 25° and should be honed to 30° (fig 3). · Use thin machine oil to lubricate a flat oil stone and place the 25° bevel flat on the stone, raising the blade 5° to the 30° honing angle. · Using a figure of eight movement to distribute wear evenly, sharpen the blade. · Once a burr has formed at the edge of the blade, turn it over and re-position the cutter to sit flat against the oil stone with the bevel facing up. Gently sharpen to remove the burr. · Ensuring the cap iron is parallel to the blade, re-attach the cap iron to the blade and tighten the cap iron screw (fig 4). · Place the re-assembled blade into the body of the plane and secure the lever back into position. Quick Tips · The brass adjusting nut can be used to alter the depth of cut. · When planing softwood, set the cap iron 2mm back from the cutting edge. · When planing hardwood, set the cap iron as close as possible to the cutting edge. For Best Results · Keep shaving thickness to a minimum. · Ensure that the plane base is maintained in line with the workpiece. · At the start of the stroke, apply pressure to the top of the plane. Adjust this pressure to the heel of the plane towards the end of the stroke. · At the end of each cutting stroke, lift the plane from the workpiece before the next stroke. · This product should be used to plane in the direction of the wood grain. When planing end grain, work from edge to middle. · Candle wax can be used for ease of movement if required; simply rub the wax into the base of the plane. Product Care · Keep the blade sharp, and oil metal parts when not in use. · Do not use other metal objects to clear shavings from the plane. · When not in use, lay the plane on its side to protect the blade. www.spear-and-jackson.com
