SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in serious or fatal injuries due to moving parts, electric shock, fire and other hazards.

Note: The term "machine" in this document refers to your PROSHARP BAUER ADVANCEDGE Machine.

User Qualifications

• Users must read and follow the safety information and instructions in this manual before using the machine.
  Supervise children and ensure that they are mature enough to follow all required safety precautions.
• Do not use this machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

Use only for hockey skate sharpening

• Use the PROSHARP BAUER ADVANCEDGE Machine only for sharpening ice hockey and recreational ice skate blades without a toe pick. Other uses may be unsafe or damage the machine.

Avoid hazardous moving parts in the skate blade slot

• The skate blade slot provides access to hazardous moving parts, including the blade clamp and grinding wheel.
• Do not put anything other than ice hockey skate blades in the skate blade slot.
• Keep fingers and other body parts out of the skate blade slot. Movement of the blade clamp can cause injury. Contact with the rotating grinding wheel can also cause injury.

• Long hair, jewelry, skate laces, drawstrings, scarves and other loose items can go into the skate blade slot and be entangled in moving parts. This can pull you into the machine and cause serious injury.

• Tie up long hair.

• Remove dangling jewelry and scarves.
• Do not wear clothing with dangling drawstrings or other loose parts.

• Check that skate laces are secured away from the slot.

• Ensure that bystanders do not access the hazardous area inside the skate blade slot. Do not leave the machine unattended during operation.

• For emergencies: press the on/off switch to stop the machine. This will stop the grinding wheel immediately.

Note: this may damage the skate blade.

Cleaning

• Sharpening skate blades produces fine dust. Excessive dust build up can be a fire hazard.
• Keep your machine clean to prevent excessive dust build up.
• A vacuum can be connected to the dust collection port to minimize dust build up.
• Do not blow dust with compressed air.

Skate blade and grinding wheel handling

• Ensure that the grinding wheel is fully seated and the grinding wheel lock is screwed on completely and snugly. An improperly installed grinding wheel could come loose during operation, potentially damaging the machine.
  After use, grinding wheel will be hot. Allow to cool or use protective gloves when changing wheels that have just been used.
• Skate blades are sharp, particularly after sharpening. Protective gloves may help prevent cuts.

Set up a safe work area

• Use in a dry area. Do not expose the machine or power cord to rain or wet conditions. Water increases the risk of electric shock.

• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

• The machine creates sparks which may ignite dust or fumes. Place on a level, stable surface and in a protected location, away from bystanders.

• Secure or route the power cord to avoid people tripping or other damage.
• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Electrical Safety

• Connect only to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
  Machine plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug or outlet.
• Do not abuse the cord. Keep cord away from heat, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not pull the cord to disconnect from the socket.
• Do not use a damaged power cord. Contact Bauer Hockey for an identical replacement; do not use any other power cord.

Storage and Maintenance

• Turn off power when not in use.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting the power source, picking up or moving the machine.
• Unplug when machine when unused for an extended period (e.g., overnight or longer), and before cleaning, making adjustments, changing wheels or storing the machine.
• Store the machine out of reach of children.
• Check the machine for damage before use. If damaged or malfunctioning, unplug and do not use. Contact Bauer Hockey for repair.

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).

1. 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.

CLAMP

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. After skate is done sharpening, machine LED lights will turn green and HMI touch screen. will indicate, "SHARPENING COMPLETE". Skate will unclamp automatically.
2. Press "CONTINUE" on HMI touch screen to go back to Home Screen.

SHARPENING COMPLETE

CONTINUE

WARNING! Skate is sharp! Use caution when handling. Protective gloves are recommended for steps 6 & 7 below.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. Insert the 2mm hex wrench into the bracket hole as shown and turn it counterclockwise for one full rotation.
2. Place the adjustment tool into the hexagonal adjustment nut located inside the machine. -
3. Rotate the adjustment tool counterclockwise to adjust the grinding wheel towards the door direction, and clockwise to adjust it in the opposite direction.
4. After completing the adjustment, use the 2mm hex wrench to tighten the bolt clockwise.
5. After the adjustment is done, test grind the ice skate to confirm if the desired accuracy is achieved. If the ice blade still doesn't meet the requirements, repeat steps (1-4) to complete the adjustment.

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:

1. 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.
2. Remove the internal dust tray carefully by disengaging the 2 clips. Dispose all dust on this tray.
3. Use a vacuum to thoroughly vacuum at the top, sides and around the edges inside the machine.
4. Replace the tray and secure it with the front clips.
5. 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 14 (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.
