BLADE SHARPENING
WARNING: Cutting hazard - Use protective cut- and tear-resistant gloves and perform all operations
with extreme care. PAY ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES!
WARNING: ALWAYS work with the blade guard (Fig. 2, #9) fitted properly.
Proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the knob (Fig. 30, #38) while holding the sharpener (Fig. 30, #17) in place.
•
Lift the sharpener (Fig. 31, #17) and turn it 180°.
•
Carefully lower the sharpener (Fig. 32, #17) again, the blade (Fig. 32, #16) will automatically be centred
between the two grinding wheels.
•
Tighten the knob (Fig. 33, #38).
•
Turn the flywheel (Fig. 2, #7) while pressing the "X" button and perform about 20 to 30 blade revolutions.
•
Stop rotating and check that a slight burr has formed on the blade edge.
•
Turn the flywheel (Fig. 2, #7) again while pressing the "K" button and perform 1 or 2 blade revolutions.
For safety reasons do not exceed 1 or 2 blade revolutions in order to prevent the blade edge from springing
back.
•
Return the sharpener to its original position.
