Sharpening
CAUTION:
You should never place the tip of the knife in the
blade guide  rst and then press the knife through the
mechanism. Otherwise the device and your knife might
be damaged.
쫵 NOTE:
• Only light pressure should be applied to the
grinding stone of the device. Otherwise the motor
might freeze.
• If necessary, reduce the pressure.
Pre-grinding
If you would like to grind your knives for the  rst time
with the knife sharpener, please start with pre-grinding
on the left-hand side of the device.
• Insert the knife blade either in the right-hand or
left-hand blade guide mechanism and pull the knife
towards you at an even speed.
• When you pull the knife through the blade guide
you should allow approx. 1 sec. for every 5 cm of the
knife blade. For example, if you would like to sharpen
a knife with a blade that is 15 cm long you should
take approx. 3 seconds to grind it.
• Sharpen the right-hand side of the knife three times
in the left-hand guide mechanism and the left-hand
side of the knife three times in the right-hand guide
mechanism.
• In order to sharpen the tip, lift the handle of the
knife slightly.
Fine Grinding
• With  ne grinding you can produce a sharp edge to
the knife.
• Repeat the procedure - as described under pre-
grinding - on the right-hand side of the device.
• Grind each side of the knife again three times alter-
nately for two or more seconds each time, depending
on the length of the knife blade.
• Finish o the grinding process by pulling the knife
quickly (approximately 1 second) through both blade
guide slots.
• Wipe the blade o with a damp cloth in order to
remove any metal residues from the grinding process!
• Check the sharpness of your knife on various foods. If
the knife does not cut easily through the food, repeat
the pre- and  ne grinding process.
WARNING: DANGER OF INJURY!
Do not check the sharpness of the knife with your
 ngers!
