INSERTING SHARPENING MODULE
To reinsert the Sharpening Module into the main motor housing, insert the shaft coupling end of
the Sharpening Module into the guide rails at the right end of the sharpener. Then gently push
the Sharpening Module toward the motor housing until it locks in place. If it resists snapping
into the locked position: (1) Pull the module away from the motor shaft until it fully disengages;
(2) Turn the motor switch ON briefly; (3) Then turn it OFF; (4) While the motor is still coasting to a
stop, push the Sharpening Module into place. It will then automatically snap into position when
the spline coupling becomes properly self-aligned.
1. There is no maintenance required other than for hygiene reasons to remove and clean
the Sharpening Module regularly in the sink or dishwasher. It is unnecessary to clean this
module simply because the honing wheels darken – that is normal. The wheels are self
cleaning (through mild ablation) unless they become covered with fat and grease. The need
for cleaning the module can be minimized by cleaning your knives before and after
sharpening. NEVER immerse the motor-drive unit in water. Periodically shake out or
vacuum the ceramic dust under the sharpening Module as described under "Cleaning the
Sharpening Module."
2. Always clean all food, fat and foreign materials from the knife blade surfaces before
sharpening or re sharpening. If badly soiled, use detergent and water to clean.
3. Always pull the blades at the recommended speed and at a constant rate over length of
blade. Never interrupt or stop the motion of the blade when in contact with abrasive disks.
4. Carefully follow the detailed procedures for each type blade for best results and to extend
the useful life of your knives.
5. The edge of the knife blade, while sharpening, should remain in contact with the abrasive
disks as the knife is withdrawn from the guiding slot. To sharpen the blade near the tip of a
curved blade, lift the handle up slightly as you approach the tip of the blade but just enough
so that the edge as it is being sharpened maintains audible contact with the abrasive disks.
Choil
Figure 5. If your blade has a significant choil it may
be helpful to place our finger behind it as shown
when sharpening.
SUGGESTIONS
Figure 6. Insert your index finger as shown behind the
choil as the knife is inserted into the sharpening slot
(see Suggestion 8.)
