Operation

Sharpening Tips

• Apply light pressure to the blade when sharpening for best results.
• Pull the blade in a single, smooth motion.
• To sharpen the tip of the blade, pull the handle up at the end of the pulling motion.
• Always alternate between the left and right slots of any sharpening stage.
• Always keep the blade level.

Note: Ensure that knife blades are clean and dry before sharpening.

Sharpening Stage I

Use for blades with a very blunt edge.

Note: Stage 1 is NOT suitable for serrated blades.

1. Connect the sharpener to a mains power supply.

2. Turn the power switch to 'I' (left or right).

3. Hold the handle of the knife firmly and place the blade hilt in the left sharpening slot of Stage 1.

4. Apply enough pressure for the knife to make contact with the sharpening wheel.

5. Pull the blade back to the tip in a smooth motion. Do not twist or rock the blade.

6. Repeat this process for the right sharpening slot of Stage 1.

Note: As a guide, each pull for a 6 inch blade should take 2-3 seconds. An 8 inch blade should take 4 seconds and longer blades 6+ seconds.

Sharpening Stage 2

Note: Stage 2 is NOT suitable for serrated blades.

Use for blades that are slightly dull, or as the next step after Sharpening Stage 1.

1. Repeat steps 3-6, using Sharpening Stage 2.
2. Visually examine the blade edge. If it is still slightly blunt then one edge may appear rough.

Sharpening Stage 3

Use for serrated blades or to achieve a razor sharp edge after stages 1 and 2.

1. Repeat steps 3-6, using Sharpening Stage 3.

Note: 1-2 pulls on each side of Stage 3 is normally sufficient, though more pulls will achieve a finer edge.

Serrated Blades

I. Hold the handle of the knife firmly and place the blade hilt in the left sharpening slot of Stage 3.
2. Apply enough pressure for the knife to make contact with the sharpening wheel.
3. Pull the blade back to the tip in a smooth motion. Do not twist or rock the blade.
4. Repeat this process for the right sharpening slot of Stage 3.
5. 5 to 10 alternating pulls should be sufficient to achieve a sharp edge.

Note: If the serrated blade is very blunt, one quick pull in both slots of Sharpening Stage 2 can be used prior to Stage 3.

WARNING: Excessive use of Stage 2 can damage the serrations of your blade.

• Use soapy water and a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the appliance.
