DRESSING OF STROPPING/POLISHING DISKS – STAGE 2
The EdgeCraft® Model E315 is equipped with a built-in system to manually clean/dress the
stropping/polishing disks in Stage 2. In the event these disks become glazed with grease,
food or sharpening debris, they can be cleaned and reshaped by actuating the manual
lever on the rear of the sharpener. This lever is located within a recess as shown in Figure
11 on the lower left corner as you face the rear of the Sharpener. To actuate the cleaning/
dressing tool, make sure the power is "ON" and simply press the small lever in the recess
to the right, hold about 3-4 seconds and then press to the left and repeat for 3-4 seconds.
When the lever is moved in one direction, the dressing tool cleans and reshapes the active
surface of one stropping/polishing disk. By moving the lever in the opposite direction you
clean the other disk.
Use this clean/dress mechanism only if the Stage 2 white disks are seriously darkened and
when Stage 2 no longer appears to be stropping/polishing well. Using this tool removes
material from the surface of the Stage 2 disks and hence, if used excessively, it will
unnecessarily remove too much of the abrasive surface – wearing the disks out
prematurely. If that should occur, factory replacement of the disks will become necessary.
If you clean your knives regularly before sharpening you may need to clean or dress the
Stage 2 disks less than once a year.
