USE AND CARE
Please read these instructions carefully. Retain these instruc
-
tions for future use
.
PRIOR TO USE:
Each stage has two slots, one for either side of the blade.
Stage 1 is designed to remove any dull or misaligned metal
from the blade edge.
Stage 2 completes the knife sharpening process by creating
a sharp, precision edge.
Blade should be clean and dry before sharpening.
ALWAYS
clean the knife blade and remove any metal filings
before and after use. Wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth.
Place the unit on a dry, clean, and stable tabletop or
countertop.
Before first-time use, slowly draw the knife through each
sharpening slot to learn the contact point of the blade and
sharpening wheel.
Plug in the sharpener, and then turn the power switch on.
ALWAYS
turn on the sharpener before starting the
sharpening process. Failure to do so could cause damage to
the knife, sharpener, or you.
WARNING:
NEVER insert the tip of the knife into
the sharpener, as it could cause damage to the
knife and/or sharpener and serious injury.
HOW TO USE:
1. Slowly draw the knife towards you, from the heel to the tip
of the blade, applying light pressure to ensure the blade
contacts the sharpening wheel.
2. Draw the knife through each stage several times,
alternating sides (Sharpening each side of the blade
should take 5-10 seconds per side depending on blade
length).
3. For a finishing touch, make al-second pass through Stage 2
* If you feel the knife could be sharper, return to Stage 1 and
repeat the process. After completing both stages, your
knife should be razor sharp.
CAUTION:
To avoid injury, do not run your finger along the
blade to check if the blade is sharp. To check if the
blade is sharp, begin cutting or slicing through
food, if the blade is sharp, it will cut through food
easily with minimal pressure.
Should cutting or slicing through food not feel like
an easy task, you may need to repeat the sharpe-
ning process.
