Try to think of it like a pyramid and you are going to change the angle right at the top, the same amount on both sides. The single bevels are tricky, but if you look at it like a pyramid it makes it easier for you to see where the new facet goes in on the edge. It's kind of like faceting.
You can also just round them, that is what Fred Bear recommended.
Also important; get a new mill file so you can make the cuts (facets) quickly and easily.

Look in the "How-to" forum, there's one archived there.
