SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
- Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate this machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating the machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control. - Electrical safety
a. Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) Machiness. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b, Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating the machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating the machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) protected supply, Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electrical shock. - Machine use and care
a. Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
d. Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many ccidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the machine, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
i. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
j. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the machine. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
k. Never grind on the sides of a grinding wheel. Grinding on the side can cause the wheel to break and fly apart.
I. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystander away from the plane of the rotating accessory while running the machine. - Service
a. Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained. - Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energizing machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
THE FRONT DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED USING HMI TOUCH SCREEN
WARNING!
KEEP FINGERS, HAIR AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM CLAMPING AREA AND GRINDING WHEEL AT ALL TIMES.

HOW TO SHARPEN YOUR SKATE BLADE
Using the HMI Touch screen, select either “Guest/Player Blade”, “Guest/Goalie Blade” or any user that was previously saved (see Create User Information section).
- Put the skate in the machine with the heel towards the HMI touch screen. WARNING! Pinch hazard! Be sure nothing but the skate blade is in the slot when clamping. Press “CLAMP” on the HMI touch screen and wait until the motor has stopped.
- Select the number of passes using the +/- symbols on the HMI touch screen. You may sharpen up to 10 cycles at a time-depending on your need.
A. Average is 4 cycles.
B. First time skates or skates with bad nicks OR changing hollow depth could require up to 10 cycles.
- Press the “START” button on the HMI touch screen. WARNING! Entanglement hazard! Check that no loose items are in or near the skate slot (for example, laces, clothing, jewelry, or hair). Motor package will do a ‘dry pass’ to determine the length and height of your blade, protecting your profile with specific entry and exit points
- After skate is done sharpening, machine LED lights will turn green and HMI touch screen. will indicate, “SHARPENING COMPLETE”. Skate will unclamp automatically.
- Press “CONTINUE” on HMI touch screen to go back to Home Screen.
WARNING! Skate is sharp! Use caution when handling. Protective gloves are recommended for steps 6 & 7 below. - Deburr the skate safely with a PROSHARP hone (not included) by pressing the honing stone against the face of the skate blade. With light pressure, press down on the lower side of the stone and slowly run the stone back and forth along the edge of the blade for 2-4 full passes. Repeat on the opposite side. ALERT- When deburring coated steel, make sure to only use the X-5 or X-3 Combi Hone on the porcelain side or Gummi Hone (not included) to ensure you do not remove or damage the coating. Visit www.bauer.com/prosharp to learn more.
- Check level using a PROSHARP blade angle tester (not included).
MACHINE CALIBRATION
WARNING! Turn off and unplug machine before calibration to prevent unexpected startup. When checking the blade level with the PROSHARP blade angle tester, if it is off-center, your machine may be out of calibration. First try running more cycles as your skate blade may have been un level to begin with. If the problem persists, adjust the manual wheel calibration nut accordingly to find the center of the blade again using the manual adjustment tool (shown on page 5) provided with purchase.

CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE DUST TRAY
WARNING! Clean the machine according to these instructions to reduce the risk of fire. The machine will regularly notify you for a cleaning routine every 10, 30 or 50 pairs of skates you sharpened. This reminder and the frequency can be managed in “Cleaning Schedule” menu inside the “Settings” menu. You can also start the cleaning procedure manually by selecting the “Start Cleaning” button inside the “Cleaning Schedule” menu, then follow the step-by-step instructions on the screen. Machine should be cleaned out regularly to maintain optimum performance. Do not use any solvents or chemical products in and around the machine. When starting the cleaning procedure
- The front door will automatically open after starting the procedure. Note that the grinding wheel will stay on the right side (home) position during the cleaning process.
- Remove the internal dust tray carefully by disengaging the 2 clips. Dispose all dust on this tray.
- Use a vacuum to thoroughly vacuum at the top, sides and around the edges inside the machine.
- Replace the tray and secure it with the front clips.
- Close the door
Please note, excessive dust can and may void the warranty. Not cleaning the machine properly can lead to issues and can cause fire. Please clean machine when prompted to maintain warranty. Turning cleaning prompts off also voids warranty. Additionally, a vacuum port is built on the left side of the machine to connect a 1/4 (32mm) vacuum hose. Remove the side cover to access the vacuum port. This will further reduce the accumulation of dust inside your machine but it does not replace the need for a proper cleaning routine like described above.
