Operation
1. Before using this sharpener, ensure that your knife is CLEAN and DRY.
2. When sharpening a blunt knife on this machine for the first time, it is recommended you
use a MEDIUM or ROUGH abrasive belt to re-profile the knife. Once your knives have been
re-profiled, change to FINE abrasive belts to complete the sharpening process and to hone
the knife edge.
3. Select the ANGLE GUIDE according to the knives being sharpened (see page 6 and 7).
4. See Fig. 1 (page 8) for the correct knife placement in the slots. Start on the left slot. The
heel of your knife should be up against the central angle guide. With a slow smooth
movement draw the knife back towards you keeping the knife edge parallel to the bench.
5. Move the knife to the right slot and repeat.
6. It is important to alternate left slot then right slot to keep uniformity on the knife edges as
the knife is being sharpened.
7. The left slot sharpens the left side of the knife blade and the right slot sharpens the right
side.
