Knife sharpening
Wear protective goggles
Always wear protective goggles when sharpening the knives. Flying
around sparks can cause serious injuries.
Sharpen the knives every 10 working hours at the smooth side. Never
sharpen the undulated side of the cutting edge because of excessive
wear.
The sharpness of the knives must be checked daily.
Proceed as follows:
> Remove the knife

Removing the knives, page 60
> Clamp the knife in the vice
Ensure the knife is not getting hot during sharpening, since that may
weaken the steel! It is better to grind more frequently than a lot at
once.
> Sharpen the knife on the smooth side, using a grinder
> Reinstall the knife
