Frequently Asked Questions - SharpX 9966 OBH NORDICA

How do I use the SharpX 9966 knife sharpener?

Place the sharpener on a steady surface and plug it in. Press and hold the switch-button with your left thumb. Hold the knife in your right hand, place the blade near the handle into the rotating wheel with slight pressure, and pull it towards you slowly over 3-4 seconds. Repeat 3-5 times, then check sharpness. Release the button when done.

Can I sharpen serrated knives with this sharpener?

No, the SharpX 9966 is designed for smooth stainless steel and carbon steel knives only. Do not use it on serrated knives as it may damage them.

What should I do if the ceramic pins have black marks when unpacking?

Black marks are normal and indicate that the sharpener was quality-tested at the factory. They do not affect performance. Simply use as intended.

How do I clean the sharpening wheel?

Unplug the sharpener. Use a small brush (like a toothbrush) held against the rotating wheel while pressing the button briefly to rotate it. For deeper cleaning, unscrew the bottom lid, shake out dust or use a vacuum cleaner through the opening. Always unplug before removing the lid.

Is it safe to use?

Yes, but follow safety instructions: never stick fingers into the rotating wheel, keep children away, do not immerse in water, and always unplug before cleaning. A residual current device (RCD) is recommended for extra safety.

How many times should I pull the knife through?

Start with 3-5 pulls, then check sharpness. You can repeat until the desired sharpness is achieved. Avoid pressing too hard; let the wheel do the work.

Why does the wheel only rotate when I press the button?

The sharpener is designed with a push-button safety feature: the wheel rotates only while the button is held down. Releasing the button stops the wheel immediately to prevent accidents.

Can left-handed people use it?

Yes, but the manual suggests pressing the button with the left thumb while holding the knife in the right hand. Left-handed users may adapt by switching hands or using a mirror technique.

What is the warranty?

Warranty is according to current law. You need to keep the cash receipt with purchase date. For a claim, return the appliance to the store of purchase.

How do I know when the knife is sharp enough?

Test the sharpness on a piece of paper or food. The manual recommends checking after 3-5 pulls. Repeat until it cuts easily. Over-sharpening is unlikely, but if you press too hard, you may leave marks on the blade.

OBH Nordica SharpX is an electric knife-sharpener that maintains the sharpness of your knives and restores the sharp edge.

The appliance is equipped with a unique sharpening-wheel that sharpens the knife by 20 ceramic pins that are positioned crosswise in a wheel that rotates with a speed of 330 rpm. The ceramic pins guarantees a careful and efficient sharpening that forms the knife-edge in a correct angle.

The sharpening-wheel with the 20 ceramic pins is a Swedish patented invention.

For very dull knives, a more aggressive sharpening method might be required and we then recommend that the knives are given to a professional for sharpening instead.

Before use

Place the appliance on a steady even surface and connect the plug to wall socket.

Using the knife sharpener

The wheel starts rotating when you press down the switch-button and stop rotating when the button is released.

Collect the knife/knives to be sharpened.

Press down the switch-button with left-hand thumb and hold the knife in our right hand. NB! Keep your fingers away from the knife to avoid injury!

Place the blade (where the blade begins, by the handle) in the wheel with a slight pressure and pull it slowly, during approx. 3-4 seconds, towards you. Check the sharpening result after 3 to 5 times. Repeat until desired sharpening is achieved. Release the switch-button.

For best result:

It's important to position the knife straight in the track during sharpening and do NOT PRESS the knife down. Pull it through the wheel with a slight pressure.

If you press too hard the blade of the knife will run against the black edge of the wheel and this may cause marks on the blade. This applies especially knives with frosted/matt blades.

Wipe off the knife-blade after the sharpening is finished.

Never stick your fingers into the rotating wheel.

The sharpening-wheel works on both stainless steel and carbon steel.

Do not use with serrated knives.

Cleaning

Wipe off the outer housing with a damp cloth and dry.

The sharpening-wheel can be cleaned with a small brush (for ex. a toothbrush) that is held towards the wheel while rotating.

If you wish to remove eventual grinding dust that is collected inside the knife sharpener, unscrew the lid positioned underneath the appliance and shake out and/or use a vacuum cleaner to suck out eventual dust from the opening. Always unplug from the mains supply before the lid is being removed!

Put back the lid and tighten the screws.

Disposal of the appliance

Legislation requires that all electrical and electronic equipment must be collected for reuse and recycling. Electrical and electronic equipment marked with the symbol indicating separate collection of such equipment must be returned to a municipal waste collection point.

Warranty

Claims according to current law. Cash receipt with purchase date shall be enclosed with any claims. When raising a claim the appliance must be returned to the store of purchase.
