3. SHARPENING
OPERATION
On/off switch
Note:
It is recommended to use in conjunction with this appliance a
Residual Current Device (RCD) of rating not exceeding 30mA.
1. To turn the sharpener on, press
the green ON (I) button. Allow the
sharpening wheel to reach full
speed before beginning to sharpen.
2. To turn the sharpener off, press the
red OFF (0) button.
The knife/blade sharpening holder
The knife/blade sharpening holder assists in the sharpening of small
knives and blades.
1. When fitting a blade in the knife/blade
holder, first unscrew the two knurled
screws on the knife holder clamp. Slide
the knife/blade in between the holder
and the top clamp.
2. Finger-tighten the front screw first.
3. Finger-tighten the rear screw next to ensure
the blade is firmly clamped in place. The
flatter the top plate of the clamp sits, the
greater the clamping area on the knife/blade.
4. Fit the tool support bar into the
sharpening position (see “
Fitting the
tool support for sharpening”
), and
adjust its height to achieve the desired
sharpening angle.
5. The knife holder also has an adjustable
resting heel, which rests on the tool
support bar when sharpening. By
loosening its knob, it can be moved up
and down the shaft of the knife/blade
holder. This enables further adjustment
of the sharpening angle. These
adjustments should be made before
the machine is in operation.
Using the adjustable tool holder
Note.
New sharpening wheels are often not true and can also
become misshapen after use. Check the surface of the sharpening
wheel before each operation. To correct this situation, the stone
may require dressing (see “
Dressing the stone”
).
1. Ensure the water reservoir tray is correctly fitted and filled with
water (see “
Fitting and removing the water reservoir tray”
).
2. Mount the tool into the tool holder and fit it to the tool support
bar, remembering that sharpening occurs against the direction of
rotation (see “
Setting up for sharpening
”).
3. Set the sharpening angle (see
“
Setting up with the angle gauge
”).
4. Switch the sharpener on and wait
until it reaches full speed.
5. Evenly press the tool down onto the
sharpening wheel. Move the blade
from side to side across the stone,
this will result in an even wearing of
the stone. Sharpening only requires
a light pressure.
6. On the completion of the sharpening, turn off the wet stone
sharpener at the on/off switch. Wait for the sharpener to come
to a complete stop and remove the plug from the power point.
7. After removing the water reservoir tray, empty it and clean out
any debris.
CAUTION!:
DO NOT SHARPEN WITHOUT WATER. THE
SHARPENING WHEEL MUST BE PARTIALLY SUBMERGED
IN WATER WHENEVER IN USE. CHECK AND REFILL THE
TRAY AS THE WATER IS ABSORBED.
CAUTION!:
THIS SHARPENER WAS DESIGNED FOR
SHARPENING STEEL. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY
OTHER PURPOSE.
