What is the proper angle for sharpening Inca 410 knives?

I'm using the "Scary Sharp(tm)" methor for sharpening my Inca 410
jointer/planer knives. I've only owned this unit for a week. The
manual doesn't indicate an angle for sharpening. When I was trying to
find another set of blades I noticed that every other brand of knife
was at 45-degrees, so I was kinda assuming my Inca 410 would require
45-degrees, as well. But they are more steep, like 60-degrees. Could
that be right? Or were they mis-sharpened at some point? Anyone know
the definitive answer on this?

I don't want to get it scary-wrong.

Thanks!
Phil
