Is it hard to learn how to use it correctly?

Absolutely not. I had some old blades that I practice with. Also sought advice from employee's who use the same equipment at lawn mower repair shops.

No very easy to learn. Oregon has a video on website or you tube with set up and use instructions. Hardest thing for me was moving blade in and out at even speed and keeping it straight. But that was from years and years of using a bench grinder and just relearning how to do it properly

No, it's not like you're honing a fine knife. Just set the correct height for your angle; turn it on and swipe the blade through a couple of times. Just be careful to not heat the blade too much because you'll loose temper and it will dull easily again.

No it isnt hard to learn how to use correctly. It just takes a time and experience. Its definetly a quality product and works well.

not very hard at all, just take your time and don't try to grind off to much at a time. if you are grinding mulching blades be sure to get the mulching blade adapter.

Not at all. WE use it primarily to sharpen mower blades. Very nice product.

Keeping in mind that I am so used to using it left handed the quick attempti made produced awkward results, however if someone has never used it before I suppose they could get used to using it that way. The keys themselves are not pitched more in one direction or another as to make themselves unusable if pressed with the other hand. Something worth pointing out is that your thumb is kinda just left hanging there with nothing to support it. So while not ideal, it is still doable.

Yeah. Just make sure you follow the directions and have a little patience. You'll get through it. Its not as difficult as it looks.

Not that hard at all. What worked well -- take the small operating manual to the course with you. After a round or two everything will be pretty much intuitive.

If you are not a regular do it your selfer then it's a bit difficult. The instructions have no words just a few pictures so you have to figure it out. In the end I still say it's worth the time.

Yes, it work well. Depends on how you know how to used. Overall it's working well for me

I have not been using it habitually enough to say. Hope you find a better answer.

Usuallly not, but you have to develop skills along with use, practice is the only cure but you can do it..

with a lot of practice you can use it by yourself. but be willing to put in several hours first. I've gotten many useful answers on mine, but only after a few weeks of getting better at it.

Yes, I understand it is but I do not know if it is hard enough for your purpose. Trial and error experimentation is probably your best course of action.

I find it rather hard to press in and pull at the same time but it has always worked for me. There is a knack to it but it always works. I know what you mean but it does work! Frustrating sometimes, though.

The menu is certainly not intuitive. However, it's simple enough to figure out quite quickly. You may need the help of the manual/diagram the first couple of times.

No it states accurately on here that it comes with instruction book and to be honest it's not too difficult to master. A DVD would be overkill. These people insisting it comes with a DVD are misinforming you. If you would like step by step instructions after purchasing and the book isn't enough, a tutorial can easily be found online.

yes but I still haven't figured out how to do it yet. This is a difficult product to use.

I find it difficult to manage the temperature. It burns very easily. If you use it often enough I would imagine you can eventually get it right.
