Sharpening
CAUTION:
You should never place the tip of the knife in the
blade guide fi rst and then press the knife through the
mechanism. Otherwise the device and your knife might
be damaged.
NOTE:
• Only light pressure should be applied to the
grinding stone of the device. Otherwise the motor
might freeze.
• If necessary, reduce the pressure.
Pre-grinding
If you would like to grind your knives for the fi rst time
with the knife sharpener, please start with pre-grinding
on the left-hand side of the device.
• Insert the knife blade either in the right-hand or
left-hand blade guide mechanism and pull the knife
towards you at an even speed.
• When you pull the knife through the blade guide
you should allow approx. 1 sec. for every 5 cm of the
knife blade. For example, if you would like to sharpen
a knife with a blade that is 15 cm long you should
take approx. 3 seconds to grind it.
• Sharpen the right-hand side of the knife three times
in the left-hand guide mechanism and the left-hand
side of the knife three times in the right-hand guide
mechanism.
• In order to sharpen the tip, lift the handle of the
knife slightly.
Fine Grinding
• With fi ne grinding you can produce a sharp edge to
the knife.
• Repeat the procedure - as described under pre-
grinding - on the right-hand side of the device.
• Grind each side of the knife again three times alter-
nately for two or more seconds each time, depending
on the length of the knife blade.
• Finish off the grinding process by pulling the knife
quickly (approximately 1 second) through both blade
guide slots.
• Wipe the blade off with a damp cloth in order to
remove any metal residues from the grinding process!
• Check the sharpness of your knife on various foods. If
the knife does not cut easily through the food, repeat
the pre- and fi ne grinding process.
WARNING: DANGER OF INJURY!
Do not check the sharpness of the knife with your
fi ngers!
