pinking shears angle greater then 75 degree

I just got the tormek system. I noticed on my wifes pinking shears that it's at an angle greater then the 75 degree on the angle gauge. Now what do I do to set this up for sharpening?

Paint the bevel of the pinking shear with the marker in the Break-in & Maintenance kit (or any waterproof marker).  Mount the shear in the blade clamp. Rest the blade clamp against the support plate and adjust the angle of the support plate until it visually appears that the bevel is resting on the stone.  Turn the stone by hand and inspect the scratches.  Adjust if the bevel is too much toward the heel or toe until the bevel is resting on the stone.  Grind away.  For pinking shears, I would use the 220 grit, followed by the 1000 grit finish.  The first step should be used three or four strokes across the stone.  Inspect frequently and continue grinding until a fresh, sharp, continuous bevel is established.  Then grade the grindstone and refine the scratch pattern in the bevel.
