handle extending to the edge, a commercial grinder can modify or remove the lower
portion of the bolster so it will not interfere with the sharpening action, allowing you to
sharpen the entire blade length.
10. The stropping/polishing disks in the Stage 3 are designed to last for years of use,
however you can maximize their useful life by periodically modifying your
sharpening pattern in Stage 2. The burr developed in Stage 2 will mildly wear the
stropping/polishing disk it first contacts in Stage 3. Vary your last pull in Stage 2 by
sometimes making the last pull on the left disk and at other times finish on the right
disk of Stage 2.
11. Do not attempt to use this sharpener to sharpen either ceramic knives or scissors.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE
NO lubrication is required for any moving
parts, motor, bearings or sharpening
surfaces. There is no need for water on
abrasives. The exterior of the sharpener
may be cleaned by carefully wiping with a
soft damp cloth. Do not use detergents
or abrasives.
Once a year or so as needed you should
remove metal dust that will accumulate
inside the sharpener from repeated
sharpenings. Remove the small rectangular
clean-out cover (Figure 14) that covers an
opening on the underside of the sharpener.
You will find metal particles adhered to a
magnet attached to the inside of that cover.
Simply rub off or brush off accumulated filings from the magnet with a paper towel or
tooth brush and reinsert the cover in the opening. If larger amounts of metal or other
dust have been created you can shake out any remaining dust through the bottom
opening when the cover is removed. After cleaning, replace the cover securely with its
magnet in place.
SERVICE
In the event post-warranty service is needed, return your sharpener to the EdgeCraft
factory where the cost of repair can be estimated before the repair is undertaken.
Outside the USA, contact your retailer or national distributor.
Please include your return address, daytime telephone number and a brief description of
the problem or damage on a separate sheet inside the box. Retain a shipping receipt as
evidence of shipment and as your protection against loss in shipment.
